Went for the 2015 F6B (Matte Silver)!

I agree with that. The 15s are flying off the shelf. For some, not even making it to the floor

I know depreciation hits pretty hard the first year or two, but I tend to agree that the 15s will be a bit better off than the 13-14 models due to the new colors and the desirable cruise control. My local dealer told me that Honda still has warehouses full of leftover 13s and 14s still in crates, and that the prices for those years are going to continue to sag until this huge backlog gets worked through. He also said he has already sold as many 2015s in the past 6 months as he sold of the 13s and 14s over the past 2 years -- a good sign for the 2015 model year!

I am not sure it is the cruise or that this years model has no paint issues.... I would like to have a 2015, not crazy about either color, but I have put way to much money in the one I have and the only upgrade would be the cruise!

I'm not sure paint (other than color choices) would have anything to do with it. You're making an assumption that both colors available in the 2015 are painted any differently and that a new buyer is aware of any reported issues with the past colors. I really think the increased sales will be more attributed to the inclusion of cruise and just the overall recognition of the F6B as a model. My experiences with my F6B has been looks of bewilderment as to what I was riding. I have had a lot of positive inquiries as to what kind of bike my F6B was. I'm sure I'm not alone in this experience. So, I am postulating that there are more people aware and looking specifically at these bikes as an option. Hence this increased model awareness will result in more sales. You add in the fact that the new 15s have cruise and now you're pulling in those who were aware and maybe chose differently because of this issue including those who would have bought regular trunked versions of the Gold Wing.

Anyone with a black '13 or '14 should not be envious of the '15's because, of course, ours are the fastest!!
