Further research has me leaning towards keeping the Goldwing. Higher compression on the Indian means premium fuel is necessary rather than optional as on the 'Wing. The Indian has a couple more HP and a couple more lbs torque, but it also has about 80 lbs more weight, which brings me to this: no reverse gear. The Goldwing is ~840 lbs, the Indian is ~930 lbs, the 'Wing has reverse gear which has proven its worth many times over.

The Indian sure is a pretty bike. Sits a little lower, lots of nice shiny stuff, holds a little more, and has really nice floorboards, too. If I'd ridden one of those I'd have never made it to the Honda dealer. I'm too old and have too many rebuilt or prosthetic parts to be pushing 930 lbs around with only my remaining muscles and what's left of my cartilage.

Looks like I keep flying the 'Wing.
