I moved one step closer today to owning either the F6B or a level 1 Goldwing. I received a check for earnest money on my old bike to hold until the buyer can make a trip next week to take it home with him.

I am seeing a few new 2015 Level 1 Gold Wings for $18,900. 2016 F6B Deluxe for $17,400. Not much difference really. You do get a few things on the Gold Wings that are missing on the F6B of course. Given the close price difference, what are the considerations you can think of before choosing? ABS? Bigger windshield? Adjustable headlights? Extra storage? Does the F6B just look less cumbersome? WOuld you consider the 2015 Gold Wing more than the 2016 F6B if the price was close to the same?

I am 57 and plan for this to be my last new bike choice. Hopefully I will get it right and maybe as early as next week.
