Motorcycle Research Evaluation

[The Professor]

I got to participate in a motorcycle research evaluation today. Clarity Research was hosting the event. They were seeking opinions about touring bike design. They had two Goldwings (1500 and 1800), BMW K1200, and Harley Davidson Ultra Classic Electra Glide to compare to each other. I got to attend because I ride the FJR. All of the questions were about the "look" of the bikes. It was fun to give someone my opinion and get paid $75 for it as well. If I had to guess, I would say that Honda was looking for input for their next model Goldwing, but that is just a guess. The bottom line for me though was all of the bikes looked too big for my style of riding.

Anyone else get to do something like this?

Got a card in the mail. Didn't get around to calling them as evening here can be hectic at times. Coulda used the $75 but had a good time today hanging with some of the other FJR owners and waiters from the DFW area so certainly wasn't a wasted day.

I guess you didn't get to ride any of them.

BTW, like your avatar.

Given the hustler and the evaluation thing, do you live in the general area of Fort Worth?
