I ride solo, so the backseat was of no concern to me. The wife stays home and does her thing while I ride. I love the seat on the F6B much better than a full Wing. The Wings seat is so much closer to the bars. I sat on a full Wing after I test rode a B, man I felt cramped on that thing.Quote:

Jimmy,
In Texas
I went from a 97 Valkyrie to an 06 Goldwing all chromed out and lights to the 2014 Blacked out Goldwing we have now. Really liked the F6B but really liked the full Wing too. It was a toss up but the full Wing won. Sorry but the wife was used to her throne seat!!!
Does a GL1100 count from high school ?
My first was a brand new 1982 GL1100....my friend just bought the same one used, color and all.Quote:

These new ones put it to shame though. My B is so much larger....and I thought that GL had so much get up and go back then.Quote:

Going from a cruiser style touring bike to a full wing is too much of a change for some of us. The F6B is a nice way to bridge the gap and ease us into the wing.
Funny thing. I've owned nothing but sportbikes until my F6B last spring. I just traded my 2nd F6B for a new Goldwing and I/we love it! The B is a cool looking bike, but I much prefer riding the Wing. JMHO, yours may differ. My wife is much happier and wants to take a week long trip next summer. If I somehow pull off a bike that's just for me, it will probably be something sportbike-ish or a sport tourer.
