    I am 56 y.o. now and I am pretty sure I will not need another bike the rest of my life, just have to dump the Sportster, so even if they do discontinue it so what. I used to swap out every two years because I was looking for the right bike that fit me. There is nothing this bike needs, especially after the Torq Loopz, well maybe the Daytona mufflers, after that I'm done. If you're not going to get rid of it and not play the trade-in game let them do whatever they want because they'll always, at least in the forseable future, have the Goldwing so the parts will always be there. It's like a Rolex Daytona, they only make a certain amount every year and that's it.

    I completely understand. Just to clarify, I'm trying to "time" my purchase ie: do I get an F6B in 2017.....cause they may be discontinued? Or do I wait for the new (someone suggested 2018) GoldWing cause it just might be, even better with quick detach backrest, luggage rack, aft trunk, and super slick F6B styling.....? Hmmmmmm.......

    You have time to buy a 2017 later if you want. They're not selling like hot cakes.

    2017 F6B

    I just bought a 2017 F6B in Canada, it's matte silver, darker then the 2015/16, it's the only colour available in Canada, and they are selling here like hotcakes

    If that's the case, U.S. Dealers will be sending their left over stock up your way. If you buy one without a "tool kit" then it was destined for the US. Enjoy!

    Then you need the matte silver.

    The matte silver color actually is the result of a color change, induced from the thermodynamics of speed when the bike is tested at the factory. No other F6B's color undergoes this thermodynamically related color transformation, since they cannot attain the top speed and acceleration of the matte silver model.

    If past sales are any indicator they will have plenty 2017's left over in the showrooms in 2018 if the new Goldwing is brought out.
