A buddy has a Super Duke and it's his fav. bike of all time. I've ridden a fare amount and the term BLAST is a understatement.

Good luck in your search. The Wing borders on a level that's not a lie to say it's special.

Humph. I pity the fool...

Glad you're diggin' the GW though. I rented one a few years back, not the new version, it was a 2016 model. Me and the wife went from San Diego up to LV for a short weekend getaway. That bike was perfect for what we did with it but she still bitched about having to stare at the back of my head the whole trip. So I says, "Your head does turn, right?"

Women...
