Nothing wrong with making a good product a great one. Honda GW's are cool but nothing like the 750 Shadow Sprit...what color was yours Kev?

I'm for all bikes that are cool, the new gold wings just aren't cool i don't care how great they are. why not just buy a convertible? I'm referring to the people that buy a Harley a then complain about noise, wind, heat, vibrations... your on a motorcycle live with it..

I sold my '01 Goldwing for a '10 Street Glide and have/am enjoying the bikes for what the very different beasts they were/are. But I frequent Harley, Corvette, Mercedes, and truck forums and find that people in general are always commenting on or complaining about something. Otherwise what's the point of joining a forum? Misery likes company!

I agree with you none of those things bother me, in fact thats the reason I love HD they are more rugged than any other bike that I have see and heard, but everyone is different and nothing makes me madder than people complaining and sending letters to the EPA and other big brother organizations to force Harley to make something that only they want, but a buddy that I ride with told me the other day things change when you get old just give it some time. You may get tired of the noise, wind, heat, and vibrations too when you get older but no one should imply that you are a sissy for that they dont know where you have been.
