I was wondering about the Gold Wing but I looked at the later bloated
version not the older one, I rode the '75 once without all the fairing and
it was an attractive and peppy bike.

I noticed you had a CX500, I had the CX650 they made in 83, I loved the
Guzzi-like engine although the puny gas tank and virtually no reserve made
long distance riding impossible. Best overall bike I ever had was the last
one I owned which was a 1981 Suzuki GS750, on one trip I rode that from
Dallas to Gettysburg PA to Toronto Ca and back.

I've always preferred Suzuki sport bikes but from that list you don't seem
to have a preference for brand or type, any reason why?
