well jj, finally got an opportunity to take the wing out for about a 50 mile loop on some first class roads this aftenoon. take it from a happy ol' beemer jockey, this puppy is one sweet ride!! it's the gentlest bike in a curve i've ever ridden. i took some familiar roads i often ride the LT for a little adrenaline rush. at the same speed on the wing, it was like sitting in a comfortable ol' rocking chair; just settles in the curve & floats right through. anxious to get a little friendlier with it & find out what drags first. while it promises to be a really fun bike for a nice day trip around here, it's not perfect. i already miss the cruise but i'll bet an aftermarket unit isn't far away. lack of a real windscreen is annoying at speeds much over 50; makes the radio almost useless. the ol' beemer is still my choice for the purpose it was built, luxury touring, but this f6b is gonna make one fine lil' day hopper!!
