  • In summary, both blitzbikz offer outstanding driver protection when left parked in the garage.

  • @ace1sod That I could not answer, personally I am not in favour of trailers on motorcycles, I consider them unsafe, but that is just one opinion. For the record I am an ST owner, not keen on wings, and I would never buy a BMW or own one even if they giving them away :)

  • @GremlinWood the bmw is an awesome bike but how hard is it to put a trailer hitch on it?,,i know its no problem to pull a trailer with a wing, just wondered how easy it is on a bmw.

  • @ace1sod You want to go look for the specs on both these bikes .. the BMW out performs the Honda, not by alot, but by enough, is cheaper to buy and has better fuel economy.

  • how about telling us what the horsepower on each bike is? the tourque?

    truth is that the goldwing will outperform the bmw in every aspect...

    but like all motorcycles it falls back to the individual and their taste

  • The camera man should have been showing us around the bikes while they talked rather than having us see them chatting most of the time.

  • HONDA a BEST 

  • @pmgodfrey My wife and I tool both out for a ride before we decided on the Wing. She was sold on the comfort of the Goldwing. Said the BMW was sitting on a park bench and that was only 50 miles or so. Long trips with a passenger, you would have to go with the Honda.

  • This comparison is not fair in my opinion, I would have used the ST1300 to compare to the BMW
