Very well engineered, very quiet, very stable riding --uh, yes, it is the best touring bike on the planet... they are even showing up in force at Sturgis every August nowadays.

It has to be the smoothest running. The weight of the bike adds to its comfort as well. The BMW k series 4 cylinder will run right along with that.
Harleys, or almost any two lunger for that matter, will produce too much vibration to actually be considered a long distance touring bike.
The BMW two cylinder bikes are OK, since the pistons move in opposite direction to each other, cancelling a lot of the vibes.

It all depends on what you are looking for in a touring bike. I have several I prefer over the Gold Wing, such as the BMW and the Honda ST1300. Others prefer the Electra Glide or other brands.
The Gold Wing is a great bike, with lots of fantastic features, but the best is a personal choice. Right now, my Kawasaki is the best because it is what I have.

Yes it is, they have got to be one of the best touring bikes ever built. As for somebody mentioning Harley, Harley will never produce a bike that even compares to a Honda.

People seem to really love them, still there is something about a Harley!
