- Man, those mirrors are huge. I can see more behind me than in front of me!
- I am not sore after any of the trips I have taken thus far. Feels like I am getting out of my car.
- 42.1 mpg on first tank.
- Gosh, that factory shield is awful, but you sure do see well.
- Even though I am still tenuous in low speed manuevers, the bike is slowly proving to me that I do not have to be. It is very agile and actually seems to want to stay upright more than it wants to tip to a side.
- I do not have an issue muscling it back into the garage by hand, up a slight incline. I was worried about this. I will keep eating Wheaties every morning.
- Smooth, smooth, smooth.
- I can hear the radio fairly well at Volume Level 15, with a full face helmet and stock screen.
- All of the separate keyed storage is a pain in the #$%.
- The power available is sick. SICK. All my other bikes, I downshifted to 3rd while cornering, to resume course after the turn. 4th is fine on the F6B.
- There is great wind protection from the shoulders down (I am 6'1").
- I am starting to get used to the pegs and the position of my legs after years of a VStar with boards and legs/feet slightly out in front.
- The auto volume adjustment works very well. As long as it is not windy.
- A lot of feeling of being exposed to the elements, including the physical feel of what it is like to be on a motorcycle, is missing from this machine. (This is not a complaint).
