Which non HD cruiser would you recommend for long distance riding? 98% likelihood Ill buy another FJR to go with my Gen 1 FZ1 but Im curious to know if theres a cruiser I should look into?
I pretty much bleed blue, have had a lot of bikes, and am a bit arthritic. Ive almost pulled the trigger on a couple of sportier Moto Guzzi over the years, but chickened out at last minute. If anyone has any long term experience with their cruiser line, please speak up. Any Kaw or Yamaha experience welcome too! TIA!

When will you be up and about, and when are you expecting to be cleared to ride again? I'm only asking because pelvises (pelvii?) take a while to fully heal. It may be that you're looking at 2018 models, but maybe looking at 2019s.
The only thing that might get me off my FJR is the new Gold Wing. Why? Because the wife's seat is a frickin'
Royal Queen's Throne, and I so dearly enjoy having my sweetie riding behind me.
Performance? If you've ever ridden alongside an experienced Wing pilot, you know the bike will get up and move. (Four minutes of video.)
Oh yeah, there's also a LOT of new gadgetry on the 2018, in addition to the legendary Gold Wing wind protection. And it's a Honda, so it won't ever break.
