Pretty similar. The black bike is about 9" shorter than the gold one. It's an easier ride but the gold bike is a showstopper. The paint on the gold bike cost more than the whole black bike.

Well finally got a chance to ride it, it's a lot more controllable than I thought it would be. Sharp turns are not your friend.
The power is pretty amazing and the 6 speed trans is the hot ticket
Not going to win any awards for seat comfort but I have enough padding of my own
But overall it's a blast to ride

I thought mid-life crisis meant working your ass off and can finally afford what you've always wanted 
Go for it man. For bikes I'm currently at two Ducati's (848 and SportClassic), a Harley and a '78 Triumph.
Check my sig. Do what makes you happy.
