I agree if price is what you are concerned about shop for a 13. Cruise wasn't a deal breaker for me. I used it on my 12 Wing but in all reality I have owned bikes since 1975 and have ridden all over the country including Alaska with out it. I found a 2013 F6 new at a local dealer. I am in an out of the place because I am currently attempting to restore a 1982 CB 750F, the F6 sat there for 4 months while a couple of black deluxes came and went. I got it for 13.5K and demanded what I wanted for the Wing, in no way did I think they would do it but they did. They will deal on 13's if you can find one and if you are going to keep it for a while the year is not all that important.
