F6B VS New Golding DCT in a race

[VStarRider]

ENEMY? lol you know we always have a good time when we get out on the bikes. I don't care how it turns out but here's your sign "PASSNU" ...hehe

I am more interested in what does/does not fit in those saddlebags compared to the old model.

Corbin is changing that problem as we speak (type). They have come up with bolt on/color matching saddlebag replacement doors that increase capacity and looks OEM.

They look great in the pics. Have no idea how much they are.

My full face helmet with Sena s20 fit in saddle bag of the F6B but won't fit in the box of the 18 DCT ...the Sena has to be detached from the helmet .

I know modified the F6B is much more enjoyable than stock F6B. Torq Loopz, slip ons, and a tune, change the F6B’s character a lot. Not sure what is available for the new GW nor how it would compare to a modified F6B.

I would love to know how these mods improve the 1/4 mile ET. Any chance you will ever have it at the track? Or possibly on a dyno?

The DCT is more powerful than F6B especially when you choose the sport mode

Where are you getting your facts from? If the DCT is anything like Honda’s other DCTs , none of them outperform their manual counterparts. The new GW is rated at 125 hp compared to 118 hp of the F6B and there is only a 35 lb difference wet with same amount of fuel 800 to 842-7 lbs. The new GW also has more hp loss due to heavier rear wheel. Have you got any magazine specs of acceleration times or dyno numbers?

I own 14 F6B , 16 Goldwing and 18 DCT at the same time and that is what I felt.

Rightnow in my garage are 16 goldwing, 18 DCT and 18 Indian Chieftain Limited.

Nice. What is your thought on the Indian regarding reliability, acceleration and handling compared to the F6B.
