Having had 2 Goldwings I can understand what you mean.
BUT - although I wasn't able to connect with the GW either....the bike gave me the ability to love touring and connect with my surroundings and enjoy them to the fullest.
Stil available and I have the OEM box.

If you can send as a gift and PM me your address....I will ship tomorrow.
You will LOVE this watch.
Bills bike has 16K on it....so it's basically new.
Don't crunch the numbers....just do it.
It will make you feel good to just throw caution to the wind and buy it.
