Well being a guy who owned and still own a Street Glide I can tell you.......................you wouldn't regret replacing one of your motorcycles with the F6B. It is a superb machine that handles and rides like a dream with endless power.

Well I am one step closer to getting a f6b in the future, my Warrior was sold this evening. I have very mixed feelings about that but it is what it is. Have to find a dealer were I can test ride the f6b to see if it is really what I want. Still have my Shtbk, and I love it to.
I bet he does know about power. One thing about F6B power is your buying it off the showroom floor, no wrenching required to make this thing a torque monster because in stock for it already is! I had to put about 4 grand into my Street Glide to get the power I wanted from it.
The ride is completely different from the Harley. I had to do a ton of work to my 05' FLHTCSE2 to get enough power to almost be happy and then I could not rely on it to get me home. I would say the largest adjustment would be the riding/knee position between the two bikes. I had two weeks of regrets after buying the bike until my knees adjusted to the new position. Since then I have not looked back at all.

I completely agree! I had to put a lot of money in my CVO as well to get it to run, the riding position is still kicking my tail.
I had not ridden mid position in so long I am honestly wondering if I can or even want to get used to it again. My old joints don't seem to like the change. The F6B is overall a great bike with a solid proven platform. Stock to Stock the F6B will out perform most any bike (overall) in my opinion.
The riding position, lack of cruise, and poor paint are beginning to weigh on me though.
I love mine but I have read that some long legged guys find it uncomfortable.
As luck would have it, or bad luck, an hour after they came and picked up the Warrior, I took the Harley out for it's first ride since last fall, a leisurely 20 mile ride, well a couple of miles from home, after leaving from a stop sight to a left turn, something went in the engine. Sounded eerily like it did when a rocker went out and took most of the internals out, 3 years ago. Worst case scenario is that i am bike less till spring, will hate it but the other toys will get some attention.
