touring mount: soft yet controlled on smooth level pavement, but we quickly
overwhelmed it while trying to follow the Beemer heading down a mountain pass.
The Ultra does handle tight mountain roads much better than the Gold Wing,
though. The triple disc brakes are typical Harley, very effective but requiring
a strong pull to stop the large machine.

because of the lack of kneecap clearance on the front fairing panels: The shape
of the stock seat prevents them from sliding back to a more comfortable
position. Corbin Saddles used to be a factory option for top-of-the-line BMWs,
which saved many BMW riders a lot of money since they buy aftermarket seats
anyway (thus leaving them with two seats and having to pay retail for their
second instead of one lower-priced option).

d do: If I wanted a pre-built tourer, I’d go to some local dealers
and testride BMW’s R1100RT and Honda’s ST1100 in the same day, and probably buy
whichever one I could get the best deal on. But if I was really going to drop 15
grand on a motorcycle, I’d buy a Valkyrie, get one of J&M’s soon-to-be released
10-disk CD changer stereos that fit in Grifter bags, throw on either a Rifle
windscreen or Vetter adjustable “flairing” (a servo-motor controlled fairing
that is both height and width adjustable) a tank bag with a clear top pocket to
hold a map and a Corbin seat with fully adjustable passenger and driver
backrests. Then I’d have a 100 horsepower tourer with the smoothest motor made,
fully adjustable everything, and a CD player. In short, I’d have it all.
