newer generation Honda GW'S

[opas ride]

Have not seen any postings on the 2018/19 Honda standard GW, or Touring models??..Anyone bought the standard (old F6B) style with any reports on how it performs, etc. would be interesting to read...I have been told from a few dealers around here that they have not had much interest in them and older ones are still sitting on the floor.....Just curious as to how they compare to the older models like my 2013 F6B...Regards and ride safe

I, also have a 2013 B last year I did test ride the new Wing and it's a great bike just better in everway.
But to trade up no thank you.
I love what I got plus it would cost about $15,000 to do so.

I have a 2013 F6b Deluxe,best bike I ever owned, until I purchased 2018 Airbag DCT. Loved the B so much I refused to let her go, but she only gets exercised from time to time. DCT so easy to ride,handles much better than the B.

Are you talking about the full size GWTouring model DCT??..I am only curious about the standard GW without all the " extra gadgets and truck"...Thanks and ride safe

I’m happy with my 2016 B mechanically but the Tupperware is junk IMO and the amount of time/effort it takes to get into areas of the bike is a joke. I believe someone on this sight said payback for us dropping bombs on them.

6306 I just brought home a 2018 manual. Only road it home from dealer. I’m pretty sure I’m going to love it. I wanted ABS, 6 gears, cruise control, blue tooth technology and the power windshield. Very smooth bike. I will report after some real miles on it. Taking it from Wisconsin to Clearwater Fl for my daughter graduation next month. That will be the big test.

As far as I know the only "gadget" not included on the standard is the trunk.

Also heated seats, traction control.........

Nice looking bike I like that color. What dealer did you buy it from?

Cruiseman has his 2018 DCT and he said in his video the changing the air filter on the new 2018 is a nightmare, his words are they designed the air box and built the bike around it! Ours is easier to change then the new ones!

Honda should make these so-called "engineers" change this air filter several times a week as punishment just to give them a sample of the difficult time it is!!!

That’s a scary thought. It would be semi tolerable if it wasn’t all put together with crappy plastic push pins and crap that breaks when you look at it wrong.
