I love Harley’s but man, that GoldWing would romp all over that Harley Street Glide in power and comfort. The Harley’s fun to ride and an absolute jewel to look at. But in terms of power, speed and all day ride comfort and sustainable reliability, the GoldWing all day. The GoldWing is a Lexus 460L.
I love the kidney bruising rattle and vibration of that Hardley. But at least it rides way better than the honda. Wait. No, it doesnt. But the hardley is waaay faster!. No, it isnt. But it MUST handle way better than the honda! Um, no, it doesnt. Well than its GOTTA be way cheaper than the honda!! Sorry, no it isnt. Well, WHATS THE COMPARISON THEN!!??
+Alan Byam Simple setup, the gps is a old Garmin nuvi 2595lmt 5in holding with 2 pieces of velcro (quick to remove) power cable is fish inside de fairing (small hole behind the gps) to a 12v cigarette lighter inside the left glove box
+gre ghilord Hi Greg, Thanks, it's the Clearview Shield small with the upper recurve , i'm 6.4feet tall and it's enough for me, protect me well and look good, Daniel
LordXenon, unfortunately I sold this bike 2 years ago and bought a Road Glide 2015 and sold it last summer now driving a 2006 Porsche Boxster a lot of fun but missing the F6B sometime, what a nice bike this Honda (except the s**t paint job)
DTCigarFather Thanks DT, I have back pain after 15-20min on the bike, sitting this way help me (and it's actually comfortable) :) or I stand up for few second also help my poor back.
I saw the standing ..that was way too cool ...as for riding; you're a better man than me, I could never bend my leg that far! LOL .I'm so looking forward to getting my new f6b .. sold my 2002 Goldwing a few years back ....
DTCigarFather lol!!, Oh! you getting the F6B! you won't regret it it's a wonderful motorcycle, comfort, handling, power, torque, brake, and it look very good and this motor will last forever.
Yeah that does not say to much, the FMVSS no. 218. is just the DOT ID. Which leaves "Classic, Open face", a pretty common term. I appreciate you going to the trouble to get this, Thank you...
fb6 smoother, Harley more popular, one usa , one foreign , both over 15k, riders choice, to say one is better than the other is unfair, plus and minus to both bikes, which one u like, which one makes u smile , which one fits u and only u is what it's about. ride safe
Jesus Christ King of kings Lord Of lords I call that the "Mr. Longstepper". Watched a buddie of mine do that on an exit ramp years ago. He was leaning too far and going too fast and you could see the engine braking effect on his back tire as you could see the tread of the tire moving very slowly (but still rotating) while the bike started to drift outwards to the left. He put his foot down to catch himself and him being tall and skinny, his foot and leg did a circular 180 in the blink of an eye as we watched his heel pass by his right ear. He slid and fishtailed after that but was able to keep it together. That was close to twenty years ago and we still laugh our asses off remembering how his leg did a slingshot backwards and up to his head. It's was cartoonish and I don't know how he didn't dislocate his hip. Sorry, had to share a funny riding story from the past. I know someone else has a similar tale of what I call "the Mr. Longstepper".
The Honda is nice and smooth. Lots of power etc. But it looks like total ass. Looks like one of those Suzuki Bergman scooters. You know those huge plastic scooters? Thats what those gold wing boats look liker. To bad to, the actual bike is very good.
Lets ride the 60's retro rattle can and think we look cool. I see an issue with only the rear baggage area that can be corrected with a simple bag. Now you correct that pos noise maker.
