My dad is recovering from open heart surgery,  he's 83.5 yrs old,  last fall he crashed my XL650 and tore my F.G. Jacket ... he still dreams of getting a Wing.  I asked him about a trike,  his response?  

"Why bother?"

If I  were to get a bike he could flat foot, he'd love to go for a ride.

Sorry, none of the above.

I owned a Goldwing for 6 months. I couldn't stand it. I was in pain and by the time I got to 300 miles I was ready to throw the helmet in the trash it hurt so much. I had a Harley Softail Classic, sort of a semi touring bike. I liked it well enough but would need to do a bunch of work to get it capable for touring. And it's probably just as much of a problem as the Goldwing.

Scooter seats are a pain. I tried riding Rita's Aprilia back and forth to work and it was pretty bad. The seat would need to be replaced.

Nah. I'm with the other poster. I'd put a sidecar on the Hayabusa and call it good.
