Not to change the original post here, but has anyone actually purchased the base Goldwing with the manual transmission and put some miles on it???...Looking to hear some impressions and comments on this new/old F6B and so far have not seen any...I sat on one a few weeks ago and it was okay, but the new seat is to damn high for me in stock form so I was not happy and left without taking a test ride....So far the same ones that my dealer ordered a few weeks ago are still sitting on the showroom floor gathering dust!!....Regards and ride safe
