ADVENTURE VS TOURING MOTORCYCLES - WHICH SHOULD YOU CHOOSE? 

I was wondering when you'd come out with this video Gil. Thank you for that. When I traded in my 2012 Road King Classic earlier this year for a new touring bike the Gold Wing was one of the obvious choices for me. The BMW 1600 GTL was another as well as staying with Harley Davidson. The adventure bike class wasn't on my radar at the time. I opted to stay with Harley and purchased the Road Glide Limited, I just didn't like the fact that with the Gold Wing I didn't have a fuel tank between my legs feel. Too much plastic I guess. I'm very happy with my new scooter but often wonder how it'd be with that #1 selling BMW adventure bike between my legs. So, I look forward to your videos for your experiences on your new bike. Keep em coming!!

I couldn’t decide, so I have both! 2010 Honda Goldwing, and a 2012 Suzuki VStrom!!

Man, I use my road bikes a lot and on an equal measure annually. In the winter I ride more often the BMW 1250 RT and in the summer, more the BMW R 1250 GSA. The same engine, different pleasures 👌🏻

I love the legroom we get with the BMW. I can ride much longer, and I'm able to get off the bike after several hours and actually do things. I, too, miss the touring fairing, but I told myself I'd just get an older Goldwing to add to the collection if I really wanted one. One thing I can't see myself giving up is the fuel range. I love being able to pass gas stations while out on rides, and as you said, it certainly gives you extra wind protection. Love the fact that I can tour long distances and still ride in a spirited fashion when I'm ready. Enjoy the time off Gil. Glad you have free time during the summertime!

Glad your enjoying your new bike. That’s what matters. The important thing is to ride

I sold my 2016 gsa for a 2018 k1600b. That lasted 6 months before I purchased a new gsa. Once you ride a gsa there is no going back. You just have to ride one to understand. Your video was perfect.

Touring it is! I don't adventure, but I carry lots of stuff, so the touring bike is my way to go :D

Ok G…be honest….is it great to just pull in the clutch and rev that motor now and then…it’s a small thing…but Man I miss it riding the GWing🤷‍♂️It’s great watching your experiences…Dude you gotta get into Radio😎👍 Happy 4th and Cheers from Alaska AK49👊🇺🇸👊

I’m in the middle of an extended ride between my Wing and my Africa Twin. I considered the BMW GSA, however price won out with the AT. I really miss my v-twins which started with a Honda Shadow, and ended with A Harley Lowrider. The Wing may be up for trade on an Indian Springfield. Safe Rides!

Good inf

I’m fighting myself between keeping my R1200RT and buying a GSA…….love to hear any comments in someone switching between the two bikes.

I'm lucky enough to have 21 Africa Twin and a 22 Goldwing. For long trips or two up I prefer the Goldwing. I love the Africa Twin for commuting and solo trips but the seat is horrible. Would love to test ride a GS and maybe trade up.

"Awesome."

Dont care for tourer and adv tourer. Sport tourer fills the gaps that both tourer and adv lack for pavement riding. H2SX or 1000SX or 1000gt are lighter and more fun for sub 500 miles days. And the concours 14abs is for over 500miles day.
