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.
