Nice write up. Thanks.
Please, Please, tell us if you really liked the new GW, honestly tell us. :) ................................. Soooooo did you put a deposit on a new one??
Inquiring minds NEED to know???? .......You gonna' get it V ????........We know you're tempted......Let us help you go over to the dark side.....You know you want it...No one does a Papal Encyclical like you did on your test ride and thinks they're gonna' sleep worth a crap until they PULL THE TRIGGER!! We'll all help you pick out the color if you're undecided:banghead:
LOL Walcrow, you guys are hilarious. And awesome. Like drug pushers, lol. And Deb99, it's nice enough, but I won't be trading in my B. As much as I enjoyed the ride, I never buy any new model the first year. The one big question mark in my mind about this new iteration is reliability. There are an amazing number of new moving parts on the new wing, and I'd like to let the gremlins come out, if there are any, and also for depreciation to take a whack out of that sticker before I'd feel comfortable buying. As far as the encyclical, Walcrow, lol, it doesn't take too much for me to rattle on about motorcycles. I could soliloquize a fair bit about my B, too, as much as I love it. But additionally, I felt really fortunate to get such a long test ride, and because I enjoyed it so much, and so many other guys can't ride because of the cold right now, or just haven't had the opportunity to test the new wing, I felt like I should at least share how much I enjoyed it. If I hadn't loved it, I probably would've just stayed quiet. Anyway, thanks for reading.

And thanks, stepbill. In truth, I think I'm partial to the aesthetic on the B. It fits me a little more. Besides the bags being bigger, I really love the curve on them instead of the trapezoidal look of the new bags. If I lived in a perfect world, Honda would take the new engine and DCT, and design a little lower cruiser/bagger type version of the new Wing, sort of old Valkyrie style mixed with F6B style. The new Wing without trunk is pretty close, but in my opinion, it could go a little more towards the mean and a little further from FJR. However, that's me being ridiculously picky.

I still like the B
Compared to your B, it looks like the ST1833 has moved the gauge cluster up to where the black MadStad base is located.
Made a couple of calls today to see if any of the near by Honda dealers have a new one in stock, no, will probably have to travel to the cities to look and sit on one. But I love my B and don't see myself getting rid of it.
