Should I upgrade o a Big Daddy wing?

[Dark Knight]

I have had my F6B for over a year now and have 14,500 miles on it. This is compared to 22k in six years on my M109R that I sold to get the F6B.

What I found out doing the Big Money Rally is I like the long distance rides. Looking at what it would costs to add, nav, xm, radar, and it would be nice to have cruise I am thinking about getting a Full Gold Wing.

For those of you who have had both, what kind of differences would I notice. Such as higher CG, front wheel wobble which I have heard about, etc?

i am also considering the "big wing upgrade" in a year or two

I trully enjoy my GoldWing, you won't notice much difference moving up from the F6B. Yes a little bit more top heavy but nothing to sweat about, I LIKE my cruise control and extra storage.

My Rune is the F6B's earlier sibling without cruise control .... beautiful and fun bike BUT the GoldWing is my "go to" Bike.

AND for the SMART A** out of Tejas .... I just turned 48 so kiss my My COUCH Rocket is NOT an old man's Bike

I occasionally ride with a guy 71 and he "flings" his 900+lbs. Goldwing around like a sport bike and simply loves the thing....I would not hesitate to get a GW if my needs were such but they are not anymore...Personally, I preferred to ride my 2011 Vision Tour on the road more so than his GW, and my F6B...The Victory is outstanding on the highway with top notch wind protection, lots of room, great handling and such...Some say a little short on storage space but never an issue for me....Not as smooth as the GW, but otherwise a very nice touring ride....

I moved up to the F6B from a 2008 Goldwing. I don't think I will ever need a "Granny Chair Wing" again.

My personal opinion is Honda made this bike to get people into the Wing state of mind, so moving to the full loaded bike makes sense to me.

So, the F6B is a gateway bike?

I have had both and many other kinds…they each have a purpose …….

The F6B is my first Wing however, I can see the day when I might switch to a full on Wing. As I get closer to retirement (28 yrs on the job now) I already know that I want to tour the country when I don't have a work week to worry about. I could care less about those who consider the full Wing a Couch Rocket. A Couch Rocket is what I'll be wanting when I'm finally able to tour all out.

I say if it meets your needs then by all means go get it.
