anyone ever seen a goldwing? it was supposed to be a motorcycle but for some reason has a fridge, microwave and what not added.

it is still a motorcycle. you can ride it. it starts right away and has all sorts of extra functions.

and now look at it. it is an ugly piece of engineering that only the weirdest of people like.

dont ride a goldwing. dont use systemd.

What are you talking about? The goldwing has been consistently hailed as one of the best touring motorcycle for almost 40 years. Every long distance rider I've spoken to says the goldwing is their favorite bike for cross country rides, and the ones who have sold theirs for a BMW or Harley touring bike have expressed regrets about changing.

Just because something has a lot of features, doesn't mean it's bad.

where i live ppl laugh about goldwing riders. it is considered the idiots bike: https://avida.cs.wright.edu/personal/wischgol/fsr/Guenther/Goldwing.html

..just one example.

google suggest in my country autocompletes goldwing with "mikrowelle" (microwave).

maybe we just have a different taste.

That was a pretty funny read!

I'm guessing this could be a common use case difference? Maybe touring in smaller stints makes the goldwing seem like way too much overkill, but if I were to do a bike trip across the US, I'd much prefer riding on a goldwing vs a smaller and more "functional" bike. Several thousand miles can be a real killer without all those comfy bells and whistles.

No clue about motorcycles but those things look neat and win awards. I want one now. Thanks for turning me on to this neat bike.
