[QUOTE="AApple, post: 192515, member: 56"] Never been on a 1200, but when I switched from my 1100 to the 1500 it was a BIG change for me. Far more comfy, plenty of power, much more quiet, and lots more roomy. The 1500 fits my body much better than the 1100 does. The 1100 is more "mechanical", if that makes sense. The 1500 is more "set-it-and-forget-it". I can't see me ever going back to a 4 cyl 'Wing myself, but I seriously doubt I will ever step up to the 1800, either. I think I have found the perfect size/model of bike for me in the 1500. I thought when the original GL1000 came out that there was no way to top that for a touring/cruizer bike, but times have changed. The evolution of the Goldwing has made it possible for just about everyone on the planet to find the one that fits them perfectly(as long as it can be afforded, that is). :yes: [/QUOTE]
