New to forum but not bikes.
I have been reading & enjoying this forum for years. DID not feel a need to join, since I was riding BMW. I have been riding M/C's since 1967. I have owned the 1200 GW, a HD, and most other makes. Stayed with BMW for many years. I am tired of the way BMW does things. Now that I have over 400K, raced amateur for a year, taught M/C safety etc... I have come full circle. My first encounter with a bike was Honda ~ 1967. If the new ones are reasonably priced, I will buy. If not I will be happy with a 2014 ~ 2016 F6B. But seriously, I really want ABS brakes. They can have everything else. BUT ABS saved my hide more times than I can count. More than once, when coming to a stop, at night, there was some thing on the road. I would have gone down if not for ABS.... and I can ride a bike on the front wheel stoppee. But one can not anticipate unknown surface grip, or what might require supreme & accurate stopping abilities! Ask this guy in the video below. He locked his front wheel and went down. He was lucky it was not worse.
But heck yea! The new F6B and GW both look good. The previous F6B looks good too. I would be very proud to own either.
Anyway, nice to be here, love the attitude here and hope to meet some you! Please keep it safe out there!
