I know it's always an individual's preference, but looking for feedback from former GL1800 riders.
I'm making ready to pull the trigger and make my F6B purchase! I've loved the look of this bike since it first hit the pavement, and I got to take one for a test ride and LOVE IT! (Does remind me a bit of my '08 Street Glide - LOVED that bike, too -when it wasn't in the shop!)
I've logged just over 30,000 miles in 2.5 years on a 2010 GL1800 (comfort model) aka Battlestar - the Cadillac DTS of motorcycles!
I know there's "work-arounds" to every situation, but am I gonna miss the flick of a vent to have warmer toes; the sound of "precipitation in the area"; having reverse when no one is around to give me a nudge; and having an onboard Navi backup (I generally always use the Zumo550); and continuous XM radio controls at my fingertips?
I do love the handling of the F6B - it's got definite ear-to-ear grins and "giggle factor" ride feel. I know the mods I want already for it and have them worked into my purchase order.
Any other GL1800 riders who've gone to the F6B truly "miss" any of the "extras" and just love the feel of getting "back to basics"?
TIA!
