A good friend of mine in the adjoining county rides an early 80's goldwing. He was travelling to Sturgis about 5 years ago on a old Yamaha 650 when the engine blew up about 15 miles from the rally. Some bike shop in Sturgis or Deadwood or one of those places, had the aforementioned well-used goldwing in a back corner. He sold the blown up Yamaha for parts, paid the difference on the goldwing and has been riding the tar out it ever since. From talking to him, it is real solid mechanically. If it wasn't for gasoline and potty breaks, I don't think he would ever stop. I remind him that his wife is a Saint.
