A friend has a 2021 automatic and it left him stranded four or five times. Transmission would shift into gear, so they finally figured out the problem and he went and bought the five year warranty before his three warranty ran out other than that he loves the bike.
I have the money, and have no children to leave anything to, so why not spend it on a new F6B! I definately want a manual transmission and the new flat green color seems like it would be OK. I love my flat grey because I have a tendency to ride over the speed limit and don't want to stand out any more than necessary. Hopefully the flat green wouldn't stand out too much.
The reason for wanting the new bike is because of the convenience of the electronics. I lead a lot of group rides and usually on two lane rural roads, so having the navigation would be convenient and I'm always listening to "Oldies" on XM when riding.
