..from a styling point of view. The instrument panel/dash board seems quite high. This (to my eyes) takes away from the low and long bagger look that makes the F6B look so good. And from the rear, the bags look added on, as opposed to the integrated look of the F6B. Don't get me wrong, I sure like the new bike, but it does look more like the BMW than I would have liked.. just like the 1600B, it's a bit too much "sport tourer" than bagger.
