    I have been playing around with it and it seem that I need to hold the throttle a bit longer so the bike doesn't decel as much. I guess its normal for the Goldwing guys, because the manager/sales guy, that sold me the bike has a Goldwing and made me aware of how the cruise control may seem different.

    My FJR had cruise control, and I would just set it and forget it. no decel at all
    There have been volumes written about the cruise control hesitation on various Gold Wing boards. I had ''08 and a '12 model full Wings and both had hesitation or a bit of a jerk when the cruise was activated. I never had a good fix for the issue. That is one reason I have found it humorous when all the early F6B owners were wishing for and wanting cruise control. At the same time, full Wing owners were complaining about the Honda factory units. You have a nice looking motorcycle, have fun and enjoy!

    Congratulations on the new bike! You mentioned you used to have a blue and silver Valkyrie Interstate and that you are from Blythe,California. There used to be a guy from Blythe that had an Interstate like that. I used to see him and his family at some of the earlier VRCC Inzane Rally's who's first name was Dennis. His handle on the VRCC board was Dennis from Blythe.That wouldn't be you by chance would it?

    I thought that might be you Dennis. Good to hear from you again. If I remember right I think the last time I saw you was at one of the Inzane's in Paducah or maybe Frisco and your family won the raffle where they gave away a mini captain America chopper.

    Inzane is in Spearfish ,SD this year. Don't know if that is close enough for you Left Coasters or not. I'm riding the F6B there.

    Awesome color

    Boy, I thought I had my heart set on the metallic blue color, but after seeing this video I really like matte grey color. I'll have to see both in person to really decide. Nice bike and enjoy it!
