As excited as I am about how great the new Goldwing appears, I have to say how much I love the F6b. It really is an impressive and dynamic motorcycle. I'm really looking forward to the new DCT, but even on the current model, the transmission has such a wide expression. If you follow Honda's recommended shift pattern(2nd at 12 mph, 3rd at 19, etc.) the bike has such a relaxed and poised feel. It doesn't rage like an animal, but it doesn't lack power anywhere, either. Then again, if you want to take advantage of the 6000 rpm redline and all the available torque, it can get just about as primal as you like and it's instantly available. Add that to the fact that every time I want to go pick up some chicken tenders and a gallon of tea, they will easily fit in a side bag, and I'm like a kid at Christmas. What a time to be alive.
