Goldwing1500SE VS Burgman400ABS

I'm sure this list will grow, but I wanted to compare these two completely different animals.

1996 Goldwing 1500 SE V.S. 2012 Burgman 400 ABS

What I miss about Goldwing
  • wind protection
  • foot heater
  • cruise control
  • stereo
  • storage space
  • harder to get off the center stand
  • lots of lights around to be seen at night
  • good engine/compression brake

What I gained on Burgman
  • more stable ride (surprisingly)
  • steady ride on grooved construction surface
  • maneuverability - easy to turn, better turning radius, etc.
  • no shifting
  • ABS
  • easier to put on the center stand
  • better headlights/visibility
  • better fuel economy
  • air temp thermometer
  • Fuel Injection
