Yeah, Goldwings are basically a couch with a (big) motor. Never ridden one, although I've seen them hustled through the local hills at a surprising clip given the sheer size and weight.
BMW are their main competition (K1600). 6 cylinders and almost 400kg isn't really the sort of minimalism I'm after for a bike. Definitely designed for range and comfort though.
Adventure bikes aren't quite as big and enormous, but definitely still have all the comfort and tech thrown at them. They basically ate the sports touring class of bikes, although I rarely need the off road pretensions (hence the SUV comparison).
i want one of those but i would probably die on it.
