Is this going to be the natural evolution for any of us? ;)

Well done mate, you'll have so much pleasure on the road!
Please share your feelings along the road compared to your experience with F6B

Cheers

Very nice if I could get the better half to want to ride again I would be doing the same thing but solo the F6B works great.Enjoy your new ride.

I loved my F6B and it was difficult to give up but the GL will work better for me and my wife. She was never warm and fuzzy about the F6B like I was.
We all know if moma ain't happy nobody's happy.

When I had my two full Wings, my wife never even set on either. After she learned to ride her own bike, she no longer wanted to be a passenger. That big back seat and passenger backrest were worthless for my purpose. That's why I traded my 2012 Wing for my 2013 F6B. It works great for solo riding. Those full Wings are great for two up. Enjoy your new ride.

I tried to get her a bike of her own but she's afraid to ride on her own. The F6B is an excellent bike and I recommend it to everyone. We're going to be two up riders and I don't think that will change. If I had the funds I would own both.

TRAITOR!!!!! No just kidding. Good for you buddy. Looks like a nice ride. I ride two up 95% of the time on the B. I think it's a great two up bike. Not for cross country maybe. The wife and I do some 300 mile days. I have to say the wife has to be the best riding buddy there is. She never complains. She is just happy to be riding. She never asks to stop , just when I'm ready. I have to watch her , she falls asleep back there sometimes.

Although I am in love with my F6B,I can definitely appreciate your new Wing. Being single I don't have to be concerned with passenger comfort,I prefer riding solo anyway so I am good with the "b".
Congratulations and ENJOY !
..Oh and that red and chrome look REALLY nice !!

Congratulations on your new fast red ride. I had two GL1800s. an 04 and 08. At 71 I like the lighter F6B.:cheers:

Nice bike and I don't blame you at all. I rode my friend's full wing a couple weeks ago and it was nice but I really don't like the seating position compared to the F6B. I feel like I'm sitting on the dashboard. I guess swapping seats is easy enough but just another expense on top of an expensive bike.

I really don't like the seating position compared to the F6B.

That was my knock against the GL1800 as well. The driver's portion of the stepped king/queen style seat was too short for me. The transition lip dug into my lower back. The F6B seat is the lap of luxury for me.
