I too sold my F6B and bought a 2014 Indian Chieftain. But now that the new Gold Wing/F6B are due to be released 10/24/2017....I'm thinking. ....https://powersports.honda.com/beyond.aspx#hero-history

Thanks Larry, I couldn't figure it out. I was tempted to wait on the wing, but didn't expect much improvement in bags or knee bend, so went ahead.

I rented a Indian a few months back and I loved it. I thought about buying one but I love the flat 6 too much.
Good luck they are great looking ad riding bikes.

I feel the same way - the six cylinder engine is a tough one for competitors to overcome, in my opinion. I think this every time I ride it.
That being said, an Indian Chieftain is a very close #2 to the Wings.

Is that backrest a factory set up?

Yep. The torque on this this is incredible. Plenty of grunt everywhere!

The biggest problem with ANY Vtwin as of right now is-
Will the company be here tomorrow?
Even HD is going to be suffering financial hardship.
Who is going to buy these archaic ancient romantic things?
Thats the question to ponder.
The old V twin lovers are retiring from the road.
Hipsters, dipsters, the live at home crowd until one is over 40 is not going to subscribe to the luxury.
In fact, even New car sales are suffering.

Not as much as will the company be here tomorrow, but will the company kill the line up? Like they (Polaris) did to Victory?

I'm waiting for Polaris to knife their Slingshot product in the back.

37 thousand dollars ?? Are you kidding me?

I'm concerned about longevity too, but willing to chance it. It took me a long time to finally get the slow down and enjoy the ride mentality. Maybe someday, the millenials will too.

Yeah, it's their version of a cvo. Extra speakers, special paint, accessory floorboards, & a gauge cluster on the tank. It is pretty in person, just not 37k pretty to me!
