The Goldwing has gone downhill for some time. Now that a Goldwing costs more than an Electra-Glide or most big beemers, they are having a hard time competing. I see many more big beemers here now than Goldwings. That wasn't true 5 years ago.
I noticed the same thing at Americade last summer. Fewer Goldwings and more beemers and Harleys. I bought a V-Strom and put Givi bags on it. Total for a 1 liter touring bike, $8,000.
