Wow, outrigger wheels !! How do I get a set of those for my Wing? Do Touratech do them, or if not can I modify GS ones  Can't have too much bling. I'll just bolt them on and Starbucks here I come.
It just amazes me how heavy a bike can be and still be viable to ride. The Wing specs are not far off of my late 60's Lotus Elan - roughly the same engine size, roughly the same power output and with a couple of people on board roughly the same weight. The only difference was two wheels vs four but now there even seems to be a way round that.
The Wing is no harder to lift onto the stand than many other uber tourers but with all that weight it's not something you want to try unless you're on level tarmac. If it fell over because you got the balance wrong the impact would register on the Richter scale.
I thought the original 70's Wing was something that crossed the line between motorcycle and parody but here I am 30yrs later owning something that looks like its supersize me and fattened up for Christmas descendant. You never quite know how life is going to work out, do you
