Yamaha just announced their bagger version of their touring Venture called the Star Eluder. Looks pretty cool to me. I will leave it to more tech savvy members to post links and pics.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
OK,
With BMW and now Yamaha with new baggers, why is there no 2017 F6B on the Honda website?
More importantly, how can BMW sell a bagger $4k less than Honda??
Inquiring minds........
I didn't pay anywhere near MSRP for my Honda bagger, neither BMW MSRP or Honda MSRP...Originally Posted by F6B1911
As far as Yamaha's bagger, it's a V twin. In other words, meh.
Notice the lower cowl with knockouts for fog lamps. Hmmmm...where have we seen that before???

I guess they can afford to be a little aggressive in order to maneuver into that market space. I'm also guessing the BMW-B could also be used as a way to bring new customers to BMW with the hope of up-selling them either on the sales floor, or as trade ins later.
The BMW-B Has quite a few trim level$ as I understand it.
The BIG rumor is there will be a 2018 F6B based off the new GoldWing platform. The latest, coming from someone who went to WIng Ding, is that the Full New GoldWing will be revealed first with the new F6B coming a few months later.
