That is a common tale among the cruiser community I didn’t think anyone in the sport bike world would believe it let alone repeat it, the story is not true but it does get repeated often. Think about it logically, the same good rider on a sport bike will beat his own best time through there on a Goldwing. Don't get me wrong I love Goldwings and hope to have one someday when I grow up but they aren't going to beat a sport bike through any road course using the same rider on both bikes. A well ridden Goldwing will stay with any well organized group ride, hell we had a T-Max scooter along on a group ride without an issue.
