I'd post a pic but I refuse to go through the hoops of uploading offsite then bringing it back. One of these days they'll get up off their asses and fix this, no offense Tony Traded that in for the 2010 Street Glide which was kind of bland, traded that in for the blowtorch 103 cu. in. Road Glide Custom. Beautiful bike, Big Blue Pearl paint job, but the HEAT ruined it all so I traded that in, with 4500 miles on it, for my all time favorite the F6B.
    I had to post this image of the Road King, that was the day I was trading it in at the dealer. Am I the only one that feels bad when you have to leave your old buddy at the dealer and ride away on a stranger.

    Not at all. I figure the 2013 RGU I had that was a bit of a lemon was carma for trading in my well worked over FXDL and a perfectly good RGX that had both been rock solid, one for 32k miles and the other for 24k miles. Nothing wrong with them when traded in either. What a dumbass.

    I have never had a bike I didn't like but the only models I have bought more than once are Gold Wings and Norton Commandos.
    Can't compare the two since they are so different from each other. Currently own one of each and are my favorites for now.

    Nope. I felt guilty as hell when I left my Triumph Rocket 3 and my Victory Vision at the dealer; when I rode away on my F6B. Almost felt half as bad, as losing a pet.

    Probably my 04 GSX600. So far, I'm really liking my Goldwing though.

    I liked my 1982 Suzuki GS650S a lot. It was my first bike; I paid $400 for it and it needed very little work. I squeezed 11,000 miles out of it while learning to ride. I am sure the great price I got on it along with it being the first bike I owned is probably weighing in its favor.

    That air-cooled inline four was one smooooooth running engine. Had to rev it a bit to get into the power, but it was as smooth or smoother than the Honda flat-6.

    I can't compare it to the F6B...the only thing they have in common is two wheels and a handlebar.
    Former Ride:
    2013 F6B Standard, black; sold 7/2019
    Latest Addition:
    2016 Gold Wing Level 3, red; SCT transmission stuck in manual mode
    2019 Miles:
    7,900 as of 10/6

    I've always been a Ducatisti and I was especially fond of my 851
