No 2018 F6B!

I thought that might get your attention.

This article says the F6B version will be called a Gold Wing. The version with a trunk will be called the Gold Wing Tour. Kinda like aspencade vs interstate idea.

Makes sense to me. It does look like the two models will be more identical than the previous two models. Hopefully, the different models will be more plug-n-play.

Having the same seat on both models should open up the aftermarket for us B'ers.

They do look nice. I hope the look, touch, and feel lives up to the pictures, unlike the CTX1300.

Why not make a wing with a removable trunk and sell it with and without a trunk ?

Sales & Marketing would be my guess.

Yep. Look at Harley. Every one of their big bikes is essentially the same with different parts bolted on. Street Glide, Road Glide, Ultra Classic, Road King. Same frame, engine, trans, etc.

Makes more sense to me to just sell one bike with whatever options the rider wants but I’m just a dumb furnace mechanic so what do I know

I think that might be what they are doing. Getting a trunk might be like getting the Nav option.

It's too bad that we have never seen the rear of the new wing yet.

I hope it doesn't look as crude/clunky in person as it does in the "leaked" pictures.

That's the challenge that Honda has, and they can't win. They can not make all of us happy.

I think the trunkless version looks fantastic. The full wing looks - well, like a full wing.

The new B in the photo, if accurate, looks like the area behind the seat might come off as it looks like a small "empty" box. The trunk wires, etc., could go in that area if the optional trunk is in the works.
