    I am considering a 2018 GW but now hesitant as many are turning up in the market with very little miles and noticing closouts on new in the range of $6,000. Is it the front suspension, the electronics, the DCT or lack of room that buyers are weary about? Mine are the front suspension and the electronics. I am still up in the air about 6 speed manual or DCT.
    They are becoming rare, but I know someone who just recently bought a new 2016 F6B, still in the crate. F6Bs came on the market soon after people bought them. Didn't stop many of us from buying and enjoying ours here. People have many different reasons. Life circumstances or what have you. Just recently, I read of a guy on one of the FB pages that was going back to a Harley, because he said he just couldn't get comfortable on the new Wing. People have done the same with the older models too. Many reasons and varied possibilities. I've not read, and I've been tracking the new Wings since they were announced, of any real issues to be concerned about. I bought my new 19 DCT knowing the luggage is smaller than the previous generation, but that is a trade off I'm ok with. For me, I am gaining a lot of storage. My F6B has one saddlebag dedicated to a sub and amplifier. And now I have a trunk too. There have been complaints about the GPS. It's too soon to say if I'll have complaints or not. Most of the complaints concerning the GPS have been related to being able to load pre determined routes for rides. I've only done that a few times with my Garmin before and most of the time my GPS is used just to get me from point a to b on the fly. Time will tell if I have issues. But I bought the bike knowing the GPS doesn't live up to everyone's expectations.

    If you read the FB pages , you'll see there are a lot of Harley converts to the new Wing who are selling or trading in brand new Harleys or just a year or two old.

    The new Wing has a lot of newer tech. I did buy a 5 year extended Honda Care warranty with my new bike.I am covered for 8 years with this bike. I got a good deal from my dealer. It was a no brainer for me.
