Traded my Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 for a brand new leftover 2015 F6B Deluxe in May. Wanted one more new bike before I get too old. Thought about a Road Glide until I test drove the f6b. I rented a Harley Street Glide in Florida last winter for a week. Not even close to the comfort and performance of the f6b, not to mention being roasted. My Harley buddies were always kind of embarrassed to be with me on the Kawasaki. They don't know what to think about the f6b, one of them called it a crotch rocket. I could care less, I love this bike and kinda enjoy their discomfort.😁 Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.
With me it was other way around. I totaled my F6b and wanted touring bike with reverse. Street glide had after market reverse, took it for a test ride and liked the way it fit me. I bought 13 bikes in 4 yrs, trying to find the one that fit me. I'm short
Bought my street glide in May 2016. As of now it has 19,000 miles on it. Have been cross country two times on it. Will be ridding to Death Valley in October, that will be 2500 mile trip. And next year I'll be going to Alaska and across Canada.
If anyone asks my recommendation for a bike , I always tell them to look at F6b first. The new Beamer is good too, with no top luggage and reverse. For now I'm having fun riding my two wheels.
I thought the new 107 motor and other improvements might be the ticket to a Harley this year so I test drove a RK and a SG. Couldn't tell much difference from previous years. I would love to buy an American bike but there are so few choices (even less now that Victory went under). Unlike cars. All of my other vehicles are American which makes me feel mostly patriotic. It's kind of ironic whenever I see a foreign vehicle pulling a Harley. Can't wait to see what Honda has in store for the 2018 Goldwing!
