A motorcycle is a motorcycle, you'll figure out.

Anyone but a committed HD owner would say a BWM is probably the best touring bike on the road, bar none. It's got shaft drive, anti dive suspension and anti lock brakes, it's got less torque but more HP so you've gotta rev it.

The last Hog I rode needed a serious tug on the lever and a lot of rear brake to stop in anything approaching a reasonable distance, on a BMW you can two finger it.
