Sold mine today for $500 more than what I paid for it plus I put on 2500km all summer! .... that never happens to me! Gunna miss it but I need a bagger.
Anyone try a Honda F6B? Buddy is trying to talk me into one!
more a upright ride, but the 1800 is fast sports bike on steroids.
Haven't rode the F6B but i have put many miles on a GL1800 in the past. Very nice bikes for long distance and you really cannot beat the reliability. As far as handling they will outperform any of the big twin baggers stock to stock with very comparable power output and torque. The frame is really an overgrown sport bike design. I am not a huge fan of the F6B just because of the fact that Honda took a GL and cut the back bag off to try and call it a bagger, just seems like a half hearted attempt is all. Can't fault them for sticking with a winning platform, i just think Honda has lost some of it's excitement.
Personally I enjoy riding the BMW K1600GTL more than the GL1800, the handling is another step forward and the power from a 1600cc Inline 6 putting down 160hp is pretty amazing. I come from a racing background and the power that the GTL puts out will impress just about anyone. Throwing down power wheelies on a big tourer is alot of fun.....

Is there a better year than others? I did a quick search and a 2013 is cheap enough
The Goldwing really hasn't changed much since 2004 so you could look way back and find one in nice shape for any of those years. The K1600 came out in 2010 or 2011 I believe and other than cosmetics I think they have remained pretty much the same. My Dad has a 2016 exclusive model and it is an amazing bike. Find a low miler anytime after 2011 or 12 I would say.

The Diavel is a nice bike, have rode a couple of them. The big back tire takes some getting used to but handling is very good overall. Engine is a monster in it!
Completely different direction than the Wing or Bimmer for sure. Won’t be nearly as nice to ride hard miles on the Duc but will be more fun on the shorter rides and around town.
Congrats on the new ride!

Thx it's still in out of Provence inspection jail... burnt turn signal. Had to ship one from Bow Cycle. Its a XDiavel S totally different beast than the Diavel. I don't understand Ducati"s thought process in naming Diavel and X Diavel???
