Apart counting $, let's count weight.
A GoldWing weighs in at some 400lbs, I should guess?
Generally two people on top, another 300 lbs?
So 4-5 times 700lbs = +/- 3000 lbs payload
plus fuel plus luggage plus whatever...?


My (1981) 2 cylinder Yamahopper 650 Special II weighed 450 lbs. New Gold
Wings are 1,832cc behemoths.

Gold Wing = 800+ lbs.
GW Riders = 400 lbs per couple (approx).

1,200 lbs x 5 = 6,000 lbs
