While the F6B is somewhat lower weight, it is quite apparent and feels like more weight was lost.
I don't ride as many miles or as long each day as I used to, and don't think I will miss the trunk. The days of 3,500 mile trips or 1,000 mile days are behind me. As for reverse, I really never used it much and hope I won't miss it. My F6B does have cruise.
To be honest, I was getting a bit bored with the Wing after so many over the years and was seriously considering a Road King. But I just couldn't come to grips with the vibration of a Harley. They are beautiful art and I understand many love them, but in the end I went with what I know.
I also bought a modular flip front helmet to see if I can make the shorty windscreen work. So far, I am liking that a lot. Need a bluetooth set-up for sound, as I don't want a cord connection.
Hope this answers your questions from my perspective at least.
