    So right off the bat, it would cost me an extra $1000 minimum just to add rear lights, backrest and a few other features that I consider a must have.
    My favorite feature of the new Wings is the front end upgrade, but overall I see no immediate need to trade in the F6B just yet.

    Watch them add touring lights in subsequent models in following years. Honda did this with their Accord car model trunk lid lights.

    They probably have a road map of staged roll out options planned to keep selling newer model years by adding the missing components/features.

    On the bright side, look at all of the available low mileage 2017's that will be available.

    I really like the new Goldwing and all the up-dated changes that will make it a great bike....but, I am not willing to "pop" close to $24/25,000 just to ride something new...Maybe down the road, but for now my current 2013 F6B is paid for, has only 14,000 miles and runs like a top!!..Plus I have had all the fluids changed, brake-recall done, custom paint, Cobra pipes, Baggershield, K&N air filter, new tires, Kury grips/glove box cover, etc. etc., and with over $23,000 invested, and lucky to get $9,000/10/000 on trade for a new one...It just "ain't in the cards" for now.....Ride safe

    I'm just getting use to this one, can't see changing horses now. Barring something unforeseen I don't see replacing my B for several years and 100k+ miles.
