That doesn't apply to any of the a$$hole air heads which work within the confines of Washington D.C. Belt Ways! My infant/young grandchildren demonstrate more reasoning power and wisdom than the Elected Jerks we all call our Representatives! From the top down there seems to be a lack of "Gray Brain Matter" in all our politicians. Just a rant and not meant to highjack this thread
They were never even on my radar.
Until the day I tried to hang with one on the twistys in Napa Valley when I was on my Yamaha R6 in 1997.
He tore me up and waited for me at the end.
I then learned they are not what they seem to be at all.
I guess I'm different. I've always admired the GW but thought that it was really just "More" than I really needed. I've never had the kind of job where I can just take off and go riding. Actually haven't had a week straight off in over 20 years. I always said I would own a GW. The F6B just made it easier to do so. Sportier and much more suited to my style of riding. I like this bike more than any bike I've owned and that includes my 9. Didn't think I would ever say that.
I'm with you, CT. That's why I even tried one, and it was love at first ride!

Have you ever sat and thought...... Damn Ive been thru a lot of shit.
The only real thing that would be cool about a fully dressed Wing is more places to put speakers.
I love my F6B.

The one thing that bothers me about the F6B is the lack of lean angle; before you start scraping pegs. It has me makes riding this bike more cautiously because of it. Maybe that's a good thing... or a bad thing
It's exacerbated even more with the Kuryakyn 3/4" drop down adapters and #4321 Kinetic pegs I've since installed.
I need to find a better solution to this problem. I may end up reinstalling the stock OEM driver pegs; to get back to some normalcy of taking corners without dragging parts like this.

I'm sure the drop down pegs affect lean angle. However, I will say I've actually increased cornering speed while having less dragging by practicing throttle control and choosing proper lines. This was verified at the recent F6B rally when riding through the Dragon, I could hear the two in front of me scraping almost every corner all the way through and I never scraped once. Here I was wondering if I had just not been riding as hard, and it turns out yeah I could go faster before I start scraping.
