    in the name of all that is sacred in motorcycling (bagger division)

    how can they be talking of dropping the f6b when:

    BMW Concept 101 becomes a reality with K 1600 B bagger

    Moto Guzzi has the Moto Guzzi MGX-21 Fyling Fortress

    How many units do they need to make a business case when so much is identical to the full Goldwing?

    I won't even bring up the amount of American iron that moves in a year.

    Well, I suppose in a few years all of us F6B owners could be like the older Valkyrie bagger owners a few years back. They quit making that bike as well and now as a second hand unit they go for a premium. Actually it is the whole lighter concept on a GW platform that steered me in the direction of the F6B in the first place.

    Not certain why they "may" be discontinuing it but I love the bike to much to worry about it. Usually a big disconnect between the top of these multinationals and what is happening on the ground.

    All good......
