After about 20 years of wanting a bike, I recently went through a rider course and got my license. Given I live in NY and can't rider for the next ~5 months, I plan on spending a good part of the winter doing research on what to buy. I love the idea of adventure riding but given I also want to take multi day trips/camp out I figure a touring bike is probably the way to go given comfort/bells & whistles offered on a touring bike vs an Enduro. If there are any riders out there, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new BMW1600 GT vs a Harley Cruiser. Since I was young I always wanted a Harley but everything I read seems to tell me BMW is the way to go.
