Has anyone heard what day the 2015's will be at the dealerships? I asked my local dealer, and they claim not to know. I will be buying a deluxe, after researching and test riding Harley Ultra, Victory Tour, and Indian.
I am a fairly new member, and have enjoyed reading many informative posts here. Thanks to all of you who have shared your knowledge. You helped me to decide on the F6B being my next, and last bike.
If the US is getting their '15's imminently, you're lucky.
Canada won't see them in dealerships until March.
Just buy it . It's the bike , which you want !!!!Quote:

Saw 2015 on cycle trader msrp on the deluxe is $21,499. A little steep for me. Buying in the early spring, may just look for a left over 13 or 14 and take advantage of Honda bucks incentives. Can always add cruise and customize it the way you want. If you ask me, that's part of the fun of owning a bike.
You're right, it's fun to customize. But - I like the silver/black 2015 - and having a factory cruise. Hope you find a good deal in the spring.Quote:

Unfortunately, I'm usually able to talk myself into such nonsense:icon_biggrin:
If the money isn't an issue, then why not?Quote:

If I had an extra $10k doing nothing, I'd trade my black '13 on a the matte gunmetal black/r '15 with cruise , ABS, and the angrier black pipes.
And, BTW, in reading the specs for the '15 in Canada, I read this:
"Motorized headlight aiming system is operated by a dial switch and provides 2.5 degrees of adjustment from level."
Does the US version also get this for '15?
"Motorized headlight aiming system is operated by a dial switch and provides 2.5 degrees of adjustment from level."
That is if you have a plus size on the back and need to lower the headlight... no I do not know if the USA model will have this... I also just got my F6 the wayI want it...$10K to have cruise and the matt balck.... not sure...seems like a waste and a lot more work to meake the 15 mine....
One of my concerns is the meaner exhaust note. I am probably one of the few who like my goldwing to be quiet. It's easier to hear the radio. As far as making the 15 mine, I plan on transferring all of my add ons from my 13 to the 15 and BAM! I'm done.

I could be wrong but I think the headlight adjustment is a misprint from Honda. I think it is only available on the Goldwing. They may have used the spec sheet from the Wing.Quote:

Honda says the '15 'B pipes are the same as those on the Valk.Quote:

Now I wonder how I ever liked that??
I still find myself occasionally riding in 4th since the F6B is so quiet.
That's great information. Thanks. I owned the new Valkyrie for a few months and thought it sounded good and not too loud at idle and around town. However, I found it borderline too loud/annoyoing at highway speeds with the tall windscreen installed. However, I didn't have a radio on the Valk to cover up the noise and I don't think it was so loud that I wouldn't be able to hear the radio clearly just by turning it up a little. But, the fairing of the wing may make the pipes sound louder by decreasing wind noise. My dealer says I can test ride the bike as soon as they get it to find out. If it is January in Omaha I may need to wait for snow to melt:icon_frown:Quote:
