Exactly right... The cruise lag is a common problem on the GL1800s, and is well understood by the Goldwing mechanics (and thus, easy to remedy). Since your bike is brand new (with warranty), you should be able to have the cable adjusted for no cost to eliminate the deceleration after setting it. I had a 2003 GL1800 with this problem, and I paid the Honda Tech to fix the problem...
Congrats on the new F6B! Rick
There have been volumes written about the cruise control hesitation on various Gold Wing boards. I had ''08 and a '12 model full Wings and both had hesitation or a bit of a jerk when the cruise was activated. I never had a good fix for the issue. That is one reason I have found it humorous when all the early F6B owners were wishing for and wanting cruise control. At the same time, full Wing owners were complaining about the Honda factory units. You have a nice looking motorcycle, have fun and enjoy!

Congratulations on the new bike! You mentioned you used to have a blue and silver Valkyrie Interstate and that you are from Blythe,California. There used to be a guy from Blythe that had an Interstate like that. I used to see him and his family at some of the earlier VRCC Inzane Rally's who's first name was Dennis. His handle on the VRCC board was Dennis from Blythe.That wouldn't be you by chance would it?
Boy, I thought I had my heart set on the metallic blue color, but after seeing this video I really like matte grey color. I'll have to see both in person to really decide. Nice bike and enjoy it!
