Congrats and Welcome!
I'd rather be on my bike thinking about God than in church thinking about my bike.
Remember not how a man died, but rather how he lived.

Welcome ! I'm in the same Honda/Harley owners club as you. Its a great sport and I enjoy both bikes.

I just might have to try this out. Wonder how much I'll have to slip the clutch to get a good launch. You are right though, seems like the F6B is geared low.
75 - 80 is the sweet spot on mine. So much more stable then any of my Ultras were. This bike just goes where you point it and carves the curves without effort. Each time I ride it I like it more. I have to say that this bike is the best I have owned to date.

Right now, I'm having a blast with the F6B. So it's probably my favorite until summer when it's brutally hot. The heat off the two radiators might be unbearable in the baking days of summer.
When I took the Harley in for tires this month, it really felt good cutting the wind with it again. The smooth riding on the F6B is hard to beat. What a great problem to have !!
Delta - I tried the second gear start and it seemed just like starting from first on my Harley. I googled a bit last night and it seems there is a debate as to whether or not it is good for the clutch. Of course one guy mentioned he has always done it on a 40K bike since new and another says why do they have a first gear? So who knows...lol
