Congrats to Yamaha for getting in the fight. I beileive the F6B is about 50lbs lighter and still more powerful. Not interesting enough to consider a change. I just wish my black came with a clear coat......Waiting on the next Gen Wing Bagger

If I were inclined to trade up, so to speak, I'd be kicking myself to do so then find a few months later Honda reveals something bad ass.
"Go sell crazy somewhere else, we're all stocked up"
As I approach the ripe old age of 78, my wife of over 52 years informs me that my next bike '"WILL BE MY LAST" and I know she is most likely correct...I am really liking what I have seen out for 2018 so far, but will wait until the Spring of 18 to really check out and ride some new models...So far I am perfectly content with by F6B and unless something major changes for me I will ride it for now...As said from some I also have no issues with a V-twin as a road bike and my Victory Vision was a dream on the highway to me...No vibes, great wind protection, handled super and did what it was supposed to do....Got a little heavy for me as I got older and that is why I traded for the Honda......Only time will tell....Ride safeI know it is all still just rumors and here say, but the Force is strong.

The Victory Vision was the BEST long distance riding bike I have ever owned.
It's a shame it was killed, with the rest of the lineup.

I think it's a nice looking bike and would like to see one up close. I won't be trading my B for if but it's not a bad looking ride. Coming off a sport bike the B is heavy. I don't mind the weight on the highway but the sides streets and parking lots at a slow ride becomes real noticeable.
I can find something to like about almost any motorcycle. That one is stretching my imagination.
A perception of any bike will change; while you are operating it -vs- while you are observing it from afar

It's NOT a Honda Period
Interesting - it used the Yamaha air cooled twin. I had a Yamaha Road Star - also air cooled - great bike and even though it was lighter then the F6B it felt heavier and didn't handle as well. I wonder how this new one feels.
After owning sixteen different bikes over the last sixty some years, I will not pay money for an air-cooled/air/oil cooled road bike.....I might consider owning one if it was given to me
as a gift...with no money involved.....The F6B I own now is, without exception, the most mechanically sound and best handling bike, for its size and weight, that I have ever owned...
I am looking forward to the coming October release of the new 2018 Goldwing/F6B models from Honda.......
