    The editing of the website leaves a lot to be desired. In the overview, they indicate the F6B has "adjustable air suspension". Isn't that only on the full Goldwing? Also, does the F6B really have surround sound with no rear speakers?

    I still think there is a good chance the cruise control really is standard. Curb weight is up two pounds from 2014. I doubt they use the deluxe model when they list the curb weight. The only difference I can think of that would add two pounds is the cruise control.

    The F6 rear suspension is indeed adjustable for pre-load.

    Surround sound isn't the right term... but there is an audio "effect" that enhances the listening experience.

    I WAS LOOKING FOR A BETTER DISPLAY UNIT LIKE THE GOLD WING NAV COLOR AND BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY TO MY PHONE
    i can live without all that new stuff no problem . don't need cruise control , don't care about the color , and black pipes they still stock .
    i have now black cobras 626 and baggershield adjustable on the way a back rest and led light all around my bike i don't think I'm changing her anytime soon .
    maybe in 2017 they make the way i wanted and maybe i will be done adding accessory

There are many sweet bikes out there and a few that I wouldn't own if you paid me all based on looks alone -- but only those REALLY do it for me visually.



    I see we agree as far as the Roadmaster goes...absolutely butt ugly...is it just me or is Indian trying to convince people it is the greatest ever built?
    I just test rode the Roadmaster this morning as the Indian dealership is having a Demo weekend. Not really that bad lookin IMO but quite a slug compared to our F6B's. Seating was cramped and shifting was clunky. I was happy to get back on my Wing on the way home.

    Bobby, you won't get your letter of eligibility for a grampawinger until you hit age 65 and your neck starts twitching when you pass DQs ...

    Hey, wait a minute. That is my category. 66 in three weeks and the F6B jerks to the right every time I pass the DQ in Valley View Texas coming home from Senior Free Breakfast at Winstar Casino in Oklahoma!

    As in inflatable bags? No. Those systems are very few and very far between in an OEM sense for cars. For bikes, I'm not aware of an air suspension for any bike, anywhere, OEM or aftermarket.

    Did the marketing folks get a little exuberant in their wording... or maybe the wording is a language translation nuance... who knows. I would much prefer technically precise and accurate descriptions too.

    Well, IMHO the Roadmaster is butt ugly. Besides that, it's gunked up with the very features I detest in a motorcycle. I didn't even demo it because there was no point. If I got an Indian, it would be one of last year's models, but quite possibly in this year's two tone paint scheme because I'm excited about that. If I were to be offered either a Roadmaster or a Scout for free and I wasn't allowed to sell it, I'd choose the Scout.

    I totally agree! That paint scheme really should have gone on the F6B being how the F6B is a sportier bike. I don't like the blue, it looks like a WRX or BRZ....to kiddish (no offense) looking for me. Maybe it is better in person? The matte Gray is nice but it would have been much better in gloss. Matte finishes are a swift pain in the butt to deal with and take care of. Besides I think the trend is over!!! All of this is just my opinion though.

    Its nice that there is room on the Forum header...........2 more colors to be added
