Only a short ride so far with Mrs. av8rdave on the back
My previous ride was a 2000 Roadstar with a Mustang touring saddle, which she liked. Her first impression of the F6B observer's seat was "a vast improvement" over the Mustang.
FWIW, she hasn't been on there long enough for a really fair evaluation.
The flat six is definitely smoother

I had no complaints on my 1600cc V-twin - it was more a pulse than a vibration. The Gold Wing engine, however, is a completely different animal. I have felt no vibration whatsoever. I occasionally turn the sound down to be sure it's still running!
