    Congratulations on a deal glad to hear they didn' dry up.
    down side is resale or trade in values of the f6b will be down the tubes.
    anyhow welcome to the metric side.

    You'll be amazed at the power and smoothness of this bike. Along with how light it feels. Welcome.

    Actually Shooter it gets smoother after the first oil change with Rotella T6!

    When I buy a bike I'm not worried about the resale values. My last bike I drove for 14 years.
    This bike will be mine me a long time.
    Right now the blue book retail value is at the same price as what I paid new.

    Welcome!

    After some miles, tell us/prospective others what you noticed as the most different between the 2 rides.

    You know, I don't agree, I think the F6B will be a resale bonanza after you get to the 5 year mark. The market is flooded with Harleys of every model, that is where you lose your dough right now. I got a great deal on my F6B, but I feel certain I could get my money right back out of it if I were so inclined. I really love the giddy up and the fact that there is no Stage I, Stage II etc. to do to just get it off the lot sounding and responding right. I've had a bunch of Harley's and I would not mind having another ole Shovelhead for a bar hopper. To travel anywhere of consequence, like from my home in Boerne, TX up to see my Family in Scranton and Dunmore, I'll take my F6B anytime.

    Welcome from Rockland County N.Y. I too came from a Harley roadglide. This bike doesn't compare. It has so much more power. Handles so much better and is much more comfortable. I wasn't sure how I was gonna like not having forward controls on a long ride but so far that hasn't been an issue. I took a test drive and bought it on the spot.
