If there is a new bike in my future(age 73), it's for sure not going to be another 800lb + behemoth. It's not that I don't like my "6", I really do. It's just a bit much for me at this stage of the game.

The 2018 has what I have been wanting on my F6B. I have been waiting for the official release to see what rumors were true and I will say I am happy with what I see. The Tour model with removable trunk is at the top of my Christmas list to myself at the moment.
I've spent most my money on Motorcycles and Women, the rest I just wasted.
Just get an eighteen year old blonde with really long legs and you're all set until 83.If there is a new bike in my future(age 73), it's for sure not going to be another 800lb + behemoth. It's not that I don't like my "6", I really do. It's just a bit much for me at this stage of the game.
I is.
Was seriously looking at the K1600B until last night.
but....with a
6-speed manual

no fork seal problems (Michigan Roads)
I gotta believe the paint will be great as they are now referring to it as "Premium."
Looks like they shrunk the storage capacity by 26% over the current GL1800's.

I was kind of thinking the same thing .. the K1600B was looking pretty good, but I like the new F6B (Gold Wing) better.
I'm thinkin' the base Goldwing with the DCT. Besides getting stuck in traffic and not needing to clutch, I think it will be real nice on the highway in the extra-over-drive gear that will downshift instantly when needed. Never needed to downshift with the 5-speed, and I get lazy on the road.

How does a DCT engine brake in the mountain twisties ?I'm thinkin' the base Goldwing with the DCT.

I know almost nothing, but I would think just like our bikes do now. It's not really an automatic driven by fluid friction. It uses a solid clutch connection.
With that said, I have no idea how you start from 0 without some sort of slippage. This is a learning curve for me. Look forward to trying one out.
Let me add: I believe that I read that you may want to pick the manual mode while in the mountains and pick/paddle your gear of choice.
