The motorcycle press is so poorly done.  That's as much advertisement for Rushmore as it is product comparison.  And if press is going to do a comparison of the current touring models how do they not have Goldwing in the mix?  Even if they can't get their hands on the new Indian how do they not compare against the Goldwing?

Granted, given most of the American motorcycle press the reviews would end up much the same.  But they don't have to do so obviously an incomplete job of it.  Geez, they should at least make a show of trying to do their job well.

Well to be fair, it is a V-Twin comparison....

The Indian doesn't have a top case yet, so I can sort of see not including it.

The Wing, aside from not being a V-Twin, is a different sort of beast with more of a standard riding position than the three bikes compared.....That would also explain the omission of the K1600GTL.

Agreed, but it is a V Twin touring comparison and not a general touring comparison. It should have included the Indian as well as the Yamaha

If they're only talking about V-twins they forgot Yamaha and Ducati too.

They should also compare to the BMW 1600....if I wasn't a die hard Harley fan...that would be a bike worth considering
