    You also have the fastest color, I was unsure of the matte silver but boy is it growing on me, I am a chrome lover and have chrome pipes, chrome frame covers, chrome accents on the front louvers of the front fender, and a chrome kuryakyin glove box cover, the chrome and matte silver just set each other off, I wouldn't trade this color for anything now. over 5000 miles on the deluxe and its just a great machine.

    Congratulations. I love my Matte Silver and cruise control. The pipes on the 15 have a little more rumble than the earlier models. Enjoy!

    So what do you guys think of the black pipes. Do they grow on you because I don't care for them at all. I like the new White FB6 but the black pipes is just to much black for me. I like a little chrome. Al

    I like the black pipes. Less chrome to agonize over; trying to keep it clean.

    For once; I have a motorcycle that I don't have to detail; to within an inch of it's life. My 2015 Matte silver is quick and easy to clean. Hell; I even love the flat black powder coated wheels; you can't even tell they are dirty.

    I too like the blacked out look. I wasn't always a fan of this look, but for some reason I think this bike pulls it off. And as others have said... clean up seems to be a breeze compared to the other bikes that I've had. I've always thought that you can't beat the look of a black motorcycle (or black on most other vehicles for that matter) but I've stayed away from them in the past because while they look beautiful when they're cleaned and polished you can see a scratch on them from 100 feet away. That being said... I liked my black 2013 F6. It was uper easy to clean, but there again... Every little scratch or swirl in the finish stood out like a sore thumb. I'm hoping that the matte silver doesn't have that issue.

    Maybe I need to see one in person. Not many F6B's in my area. Local shop sells Hondas and they are a good dealer but they don't sell to many Goldwings as there primary draw is Harleys. Until then I like my red 2013 real well and it is the fastest color. Al

    I just picked up 2015 matte silver F6B last Thursday. (My early xmas gift to myself). What do you use to clean your bike, and do i dare put any polish on the paint. Is there anything I can use to protect the finish.

    Thanks

    Hate to say this , but if you go by a Harley dealer you can
    find some great stuff for cleaning the flat Finnish stuff.
