Mine was a full on impulse buy. Bought a Shadow Phantom as a committed bike and after 90 days coouldnt stand it anymore. Just couldn't get comfortable. After looking at selling dealers website (Storm Lake Honda) for full wings i was ready for the full upgrade. (We had a 1500 for several years and loved it, just stop ridding after we relocated). Walked in and saw the "B" and an hour later was riding away with a HUGE smile on my face. Now any time I have the chance I jump on and go out for some entertainment. Absolutely a great bike for turning heads even in the Goldwing community. So glad I did what I did (thanks dad!)
