To me, an enjoyable bike is smooth, comfortable, can go around a corner with no fuss, can pass a row of cars going up a steep hill, and keeps the wind blast off me. And to me, the sights would include Colorado, Utah, and Arizona. A chopper wouldn't do it for me, and a Goldwing is just too much. My CBR1000F is close at doing it all, but an 1,100cc Blackbird would be even better.
