I've an 1800 goldwing, since new from 2006. Been all over Western Europe on it, with a trailer attached. Don't need tours tech for this beast :-)
I have an AT for the more interesting off road or ADV stuff though. Would take my 'wing into quite a lot of Eastern Europe, but def not off-road. They handle beautifully on Tarmac, and I can surprise a lot of folk with how quick the big girl is, even two up with th trailer. Take it off road though and you might as well be trying to navigate a ship through coral reef. It's just not really the place for it. Some of the older wing models though would probably fare much better.
The wife will ride the back of the wing any day of the week, but just shakes her head at the AT :-D I think she has been a bit spoilt by the wing somehow...
