any of the big touring bikes are made to be extremely comfortable on long rides. I've owned 26 motorcycles in the last 41 years, the last 5 all being Harleys. I've ridden Honda gold wings on trips of many thousand miles as well as my harleys. I currently own an '07 Harley "ultra classic" that is fully loaded with everything from cruise control to stereo and cb and intercom, it has a nice windshield, air adjustable shocks, upper and lower fairings etc and loads of storage room in two hard saddlebags, a hard touring pak trunk and two smaller compartments on the lower fairings. It's like riding a couch down the highway. My wife had back surgery the first part of this year. She can ride in complete comfort on the Ultra without needing to stop for 2-300 miles at a stretch. On my Dyna wide glide, she needed a break every 50 miles or so. I ride at least 300 miles a week, and travel several thousand miles on long long trips each summer. You can't go wrong with a big harley, but the big Honda's or BMW's are nice too. I never felt as comfy on my big Kawasaki's or yamaha's as I do on the Harley or the honda.
This is the time of year to get a good buy from the dealerships too.
Good luck and ride safe.

Depends on the person. I have a bad back and a sport bike's lay-down riding position buys me more hours. A Goldwing may have a Lazyboy mounted on two wheels but I'm better off with my Honda VFR. Besides, at a certain point why bother with a motorcycle when you are so encumbered by all the luxury and spending enough to buy a nice sports car?

If you want a comfortable ride, I would look at the Harley Davidson Ultra Classic, the Honda Gold Wing, and the BMW K1200 LT. I don't like the way the Honda or BMW look. They have more little gadgets than the Harley but I think those things are pretty useless. Air Vents on a motorcycle? That sounds pretty dumb.
My dad has an Ultra Classic. I borrow it on long rides and it is very comfortable without feeling too big. The stereo is crystal clear going 80mph, too.

Goldwing!!
We put thousands of miles a summer on our 1983 1100 interstate! I couldn't imagine riding anything else. Not even a 2007 Goldwing 1800!

Honda GoldWing. It will have more "bells & whistles" than any other bike out there, and it will cost quite a bit less than a big harley. If you have to have the loud pipes of a harley, go for it, but a Goldwing will get close to 50MPG, and a harley will be lucky to get 38-40mpg. if you are planning on riding, the extra 10mpg will make a big difference over the span of 20k miles. also, a honda will be a lot cheaper to buy and cheaper to maintain. hondas are going to be a lot more dependable. Also, the Goldwing has a flat-6, six cylinder engine, so the center of gravity on a wing will be much lower, which will make for a more stable bike, with less vibration from the engine...

I think the best one is the Harley. I meet many friends on a site called bikerkiss. They say they usually take long road trips by Harley. And they say it is very good.
