Test Ride

I've not ridden the new GW but have not been happy with just sitting on them in the showroom. I agree when you say "reduced size," if you mean the rider positioning and the shelter/cowl. At 6'3" I find the F6B okay but the new bikes feel much smaller.

I can see that. I am 6' even and a little under 200 lbs. The new one fits me just right. I would not want to be much bigger. It reminded me of my 2009 C-14. The rider position on the Wing is less aggressive than the C-14 but the feel of the bike was similar.

I like it. Just not sure it is worth the price when I have a great bike that doesn't cost much to operate and it is paid for.

Xactly.....I am liking the 2020 black color so I contacted one of the larger dealers for a trade in on my 13 Deluxe w/ 58k. What it came down to was my bike + $10k would get me OTD with an 18 or 19 Non Tour DCT. (He didnt have the 20 model yet). In my mind then, they are giving me @ $7500 for my bike. Its worth a hell of lot more to me, so I am planning on keeping it. Just replaced battery ( it hadnt failed but its 6+ years old and I have some rides set up this year) and replaced the air filter. Have had zero issues with this great bike. Only time it was at dealers was for brake recall.

I was looking up at Russelville for some of the colors up there for their Tours. I liked that green one. I worry about the trade in and undercutting of it, but then again, they are not moving, so they buy/sell for not a lot. Great bikes though. Fantastic, steady and fun!
