    Well this Vic went faster and better time than stated by articles and the F6B went slower and worse time than posted articles, so that tells me the Vic had work done or had a better rider than supplied by the magazine articles. They can all have their air cooled Vtwins with 5 thousand in extra motor work. Ill keep my F6B.
    ED209 says RED is faster, you have 20 seconds to comply !

    There is no doubt in my mind that the Vic was not stock, yet the stock F6B still blew it away.

    First thing I noticed was first through second gear were pretty slow for the F6B even though it was walking away from the Vic, I believe that is where the time difference came from. I know when I throw the stones to it from first to second gear it will break the back tire free and slide a bit sideways. But feels controlled as a spinning tire can feel. I have felt that on a 1989 Vmax back in the day.All in All I am very satisfied with the F6B in POWER and comfort.

    A lot of folks find the sound of Goldwings annoying.

    I would start in 2nd gear if I was drag racing someone. Anyone else agree?

    That would probably work well if you're purposely trying to lose the race.

    I think first is geared very high, so to start in second does makes some since...I would give it a try and see....
