Sounds about right on your purchase, I bought mine in February last year for 10700 out the door shipped to me from Florida, I can't believe you can get these bikes so cheap, as they are the nicest thing on the road IMO. My friend has a valkyrie and loves it, he's about ready to trade it though on the new Goldwing, that bronze color, with the DCT. Can't wait to test ride one of those bad boys, but my F6B is not going anywhere, I definitely like the looks of this older style versus the new chopped up look of the new Goldwing for 2018.Quote:

So to move up it will coat $15,000 plus.
I can kept my F6B and I could buy a lot of different bikes with that kind of money 💰
Yeah I think you're right on, you would be very lucky to get 10,000, especially with anything over 15,000 miles on it, plus I still owe $6,000 on a loan, so I take 4, put it to the 23, it would cost me $19,000 LOL, I agree, you can buy another sport bike, or cruiser for that kind of money, personally that'll go in a kid's college fund!Quote:

I think they're horrible looking, and it seems like that's what the Goldwing 2018 kind of leans towards. Now I'm happy with this baby, if anything I think I'd run out and try to find a brand new 2017, F6B, Deluxe, and try to steal it from the dealership! I have to admit cruise control and heated grips would be niceQuote:

I personally do feel the pain since I sold my 2013 loaded with all the "good" stuff for a low number as well. Believe me, that one hurt! But, as we all know, you have to pay to play and you can multiply that when you want the latest and greatest. Anyway, you have a great ride there so enjoy it and ride safe!Quote:

Yep I always keep an eye out on eBay, and saw that one, thought it was a great deal! Especially with the cruise control, I would definitely think about getting rid of the F4 windshield and going towards the madstad though, just saying, the madstad smaller, and you get the smoke at the bottom, you can Google my full review on YouTube for that windshield.Quote:

Going to try it out when it warms up ,current temperature -1 degrees. Been wanting to upgrade the old 98 Valkyrie and have been watching out for f6b's , couldn't believe the price on this one. And he even put new tires on it.Quote:

You stole that bike! Good job. Enjoy the hell out of it.
Don't like the Baggershield that I bought madstad is next on the list.
Sorry you don't like the Baggershield, I love mine and it does everything I want a shield to do...Have ridden an F6B with Madstad and did not really care for all the hardware etc....and it did not seem to be much better with wind protection and noise than my Baggershield in the top position....."Too each his own as they say"....Regards and ride safeQuote:
