Hi Decimis. I currently ride a bmw k1600 gtl,it's a potent machine,and just too easy to get into trouble with LLEO. I took out the cross country tour and the vision as I liked a fixed fairing. The xcountry was in my opinion much more comfortable and powerful than the new roadglide I demo'd a month ago. The vision seemed different and even more relaxing, but wind management varies greatly between the two. I was very impressed with the bikes. The other thing is that if the dealer is an A-hole or too far away you'll regret the purchase. They have a gunner on demo and SS also has one and a magnum for their own demo,so you have a second chance to take it on a longer tour.
