    This is a Goldwing for those that love wheelies and the color orange! LOL About a rare to see on the road as a RC8.

    Comfortable bike, some have changed to the KTM "comfort seat"; I never had an issue with it. I took this bike to the Gaspe Peninsula and we had a couple ~ 500 mile days in there; felt great. It's got cruise control, heated grips, ride modes, and plenty of suspension settings, etc..etc.. Never felt it lacking for power that's for sure. ;-)

    Yup...the ride modes adjust it automatically. Then you can change some specific settings outside just the modes such as 1 up, 1 up with luggage, 2 up, 2 up with luggage, then I think even lower level settings, etc.; you get the idea. I think I only ever used the 1 to 2 up with luggage. There is a ton of stuff in there...turn heated grips on and off, turn quick shifter on and off, enable/disable all the TC and ABS, and so on. Not sure I ever touched 10% of it; never felt the need to change anything.

    Quick shifter is awesome. Clutch-less shifting up and down. GLWS

    Originally posted for 12k. Dealers offering 10k trade; which is what I’ll take to save someone from paying more at dealer. CL ad for some reason did not update. Trading it next week if it doesn’t sell. Thanks. Sorry for confusion.
