    I actually prefer the seats on the GL1800 hence thinking of ordering a Corbin for my bike. i like the GL1800 a lot too!

    I demo'd the win over 6 times and always loved the drive train, but never the locked in seating position. When I saw the F6B with it's flat sport bike seat, I fell in love.

    I traded my '12 "full blown Wing" for my F6B. Both are great motorcycles but the F6B has a more comfortable and better positioned seat. Past that, there is just no comparison as to how much quicker, nimble, and fun the F6B is over its predicessor. I do not miss the extras that accompanied the GL1800. The new bike has everything I need.

    I think my near perfect bike would be a gl1800 with F6B seat and detachable factory top box. Need it from Honda, don't like MBL Kit.

    Conscensus from another forum discussion is that the whistling sound comes from the alternator. I have had three Wings and my '08 was worst when it came to that annoying sound. I can hear it a bit on my F6B but not near as bad as with the '08.

    All Wings seem to have some of the alternator whistle, some are just worst than others. And, you sit right on top of the alternator mount.

    +1 on the alternator.
    GL1500 alternators never 'sang'.
