I'm considering adding the F6B to my current collection of one motorcycle, but will more than likely stay on MTs when the time comes to replace tires. Those touring tires will seem like they last forever compared to the tire life I'm used to getting on my Hayabusa over the years. Looking forward to having the "sport" Goldwing.
My favorite quote from that page:

I’ve been riding with a car tire for over 2 years with over 15,000 miles, rode twisties from Arkansas to West Virginia. I have worked in manufacturing for 25 years. One thing I’ve learned is that there are alot of technical, scientific or safety related reasons something should not work but you try it and it just does, I’d like to see instead of you telling us it should not work, do some actual riding/testing and prove it will not work.
