    It's depend on what you are looking for short trip, long trip, ride with passenger... etc...? Currently our garage has a full wing, F6B and F6C...we like them all .

    That's the way to do it. One of each!

    Regarding the passenger....

    As a few others have touched upon, when comparing the F6B with a full Wing from a passengers standpoint, you may find that the F6B comes up a bit short. Even with the addition of a proper backrest my wife is not comfortable on long rides. She was used to being tucked into the back of a Valkyrie Interstate and felt much more secure. She also feels that she gets significantly more wind blast, despite the addition of Baker products.
    As of right now, I am planning on trading in the spring for a new Goldwing.

    Look at the Wing---Look at the B. What your eyes see that is on the Wing and NOT on the B is the difference! I have the manual and they are the same bike except for the bell and whistles and chrome on the Wing. Personally, I love my F6B but have no interest at all in owning a full blown Gold Wing. Way too much clutter for me.
