I have been riding for many years, but mainly Dual sports or my current cruiser. I had a loaner older (late 80´s or early 90´s) Goldwing which very hard to get my feet down on. I am wanting to go to something more long ride friendly, with a comfortable back seat for GF, I haven´t actually been out to look yet, but seemingly leaning towards either the BMW 1200 or a Goldwing, but the both seem kinda tall. I´m 5´7
