I say go for it with the BMW. For too many years all the wife and I bought were Harleys. We still have 4 in the stable but in the last 5 years we added a '15 Triumph Scrambler, a '15 Victory Cross Country Tour, an '02 Yamaha Vmax and a '04 Kawasaki KLR 650.
It's kinda like guns. One doesn't cover everything. You need a rifle, a shotgun and a bunch of handguns.
Variety, the spice of life.

Pretty sure an AED comes as standard equipment on the GoldWing!

If you're bored on a motorcycle, you're riding too slow.

OP, enjoy your new BMW! I own a BMW, HD and Honda. Each has its merits.
Harley has growing competition. There's Indian, BMW, the new Yamaha Venture, and the upcoming new 2018 Gold Wing.

You say HD is overpriced and you are looking at getting a BMW? Well, both are overpriced, but they sell (more or less) at those prices - that's capitalism for ya.
