I may be a bit biased but You can also find Honda Valkyrie Interstates on the market reasonable. They may be older but very reliable as they use Honda Holdwing engines but have 6 carbs instead of two. With the fairing on front they get around 45 or so mpg, maybe more. You can go to the VOAI forum for more info. Boxer flat 6 sis smooth as silk and requires very little maintenance, shaft driven and liquid cooled. Lots of torque and can handle two up with no problem. I ride a Honda Valkyrie Tourer. It has windscreen and hard bags but no fairing or trunk. She has 108K with minimum maint. Two up on it is no problem also as far as power and handling. Not as fancy as a Wing but less expensive. The boxer engine is good for well over 200K miles. And it doesn't vibrate like a V engine. My thoughts.
