I took the new Goldwing on gravel roads today. I was not sure how it will handle, one of my friends who tried a K1200LT on gravel said he kept his feet on the ground, it was that bad!
The Goldwing, even though much heavier compared to K1200RS handles better than the KRS (I have not ridden the KLT on gravel so I can't comment).
So the Yamaha FZ6 was the worst on gravel and the lightest bike, next best was BMW K1200RS and the best and heaviest so far is the Honda GL1800.
Here's a pic of the 'wing after my first ride on gravel:
Here's another one of just the road:

Excuse the low quality images, I just snapped them from my handheld.
