to change or not to change that is the question

I am contemplating selling the GZ in order to pickup a 1984 Goldwing Aspencade (37k miles) for $2750. The idea of a nice highway cruiser appeals to me again. Central Texas and NE Oklahoma would be a much more comfortable ride from Florida on the Goldwing, but, still very do-able on the GZ. A Goldwing isn't exactly a putt around town scooter. A small car on two wheels that won't keep you dry or warm. Dropping from 68-74 mpg down to 35-40 mpg bothers my tightwad mind also. Comfortable ride vs economical ride. Pros and cons. More maintenance or less on the big bike - or just different maintenance?
