I've been considering one for years , but wanted the kinks worked out . Now all issues have been addressed by either Honda or aftermarket . It is very much still a BIG motorcycle , but handles very well even with a flat spot rear tire . Wife's 900 GT has far more punch in roll on performance . The Big Wing 6th gear is very over driven
with 700 plus rpms between 5th to 6th . 70 mph in 6th is 2300 rpms so its week in roll on . Also the new wing you can not start out in 2nd any more . the ratio has changed , and the bike stalls every time . The old model you could start in 2nd with zero issues .
Creature comforts are nice , and no heat off the bike in 91 degree afternoon I was fine in paddle foot traffic or on freeway . I'm probably going to buy one in a few years . ITs more fun to pick up my son a few hundred miles away on the bike than cage , and this would be comfort for us both . Also my wife may ride with me again since its very hard to wheelie

I know a guy who went from his beloved ST1300 to a new Wing and really loves the Wing much better.
He used to rant about how much he loved his ST until he got the Wing....it's the same color as the one you were riding too.
He can't understand how I can ride a bike like mine.

I love all the tec on it. And that flat six is cool. If I had the money I would add it to my fleet. Just a different way to ride, I appreciate all the ways!

6 speed is how I rollC10 is it the DCT or the 6 speed manual you rode ?
only Auto is the truck . Scooters are okay in auto , but thats about it .
I’ve been waiting for a F6B to come along at the right price. I like how aggressive they look. But mostly I want to twin turbo one.

Twin turbo a flat six way to go I bet it would sound awesome

Randakk’s GL 1100 sure sounds good with a supercharger. Looks good too.
That would be a monster!
