I've ridden Goldwings extensibly, and I normally ride a sports tour bike.
The Goldwing 1800 is a nice bike. A lot sportier than its weight and customer base would let you believe. It's a great bike to ride the twisties, if you want. It is big and comfortable and nimble once under way. It is a heavy pig in a parking lot.
But in no way does it compare with real sports tour bikes. Even the FJR is a lightweight, nimble thing, compared to a wing.


This is my wife and I enjoying the view a top of passo San Marco, It.  Lol

It'll grow on ya eventually......Although I'm still at a loss.



   Have owned Wing and C-10 at same time, liked the Wing 2 up slow.... Liked the C-10 1 up everywhere else.


    Wing also excelled on the super slabs. I guess its all in what kind of riding you want to do.

Why?
IMO it has all the negatives of the Wing, w/o any of the positives.

I think it's freaking nice. I'd hit it.  Inlove

One of the best-looking "cruiser style" bikes I've seen in a long time." At least it's not a Harley wanna be/design rip-off.
Needs a nice snuggy heated garage though to keep it pretty.

"Strikingly similar"??? Hardly. If you take your finger and trace the basic outline of the bike, then yes, those lines are similar.

They are both cruisers. However very very different from one another. Lack of the acres of chrome in the middle is one indicator.  Rolleyes

My point is that it's not the usual "Big V-Twin" copy of a HD.

Raise that ass end up, shorten the overall wheelbase and you'd have something that almost looks like a C14.

The Harley depicted is the RoadGlide. The StreetGlide is the better analog.

The F6B is the 'Wing's answer to the StreetGlide, which originally was a chopped and lowered Ultra. It became such a popular build in the aftermarket, that Harley built it from the factory and called it the StreetGlide. Since then, every big-boy cruiser-styled bike has had some sort of similar enough treatment, and the 'Wing is the logical progression in a style line that sells very, very well across a variety of manufacturers.

It's no surprise this bike isn't well regarded on this forum, but trust me, this thing will sell, and at !$6k less than the fully accommodated 'Wing, it'll be a hot-ticket item for those looking at this market segment. It's also almost dollar-for-dollar right in line with the Street Glide, while providing immensely better performance in every single metric.

It's a bad-ass looking bike, and when it comes to the performance aspect of those bikes, it's *already* got what people drop an additional $10K into a Harley to achieve, all the while outhandling the Harley by a huge margin.

It's a win.

Except no-one looking at a Harley would consider this.

Indeed.  What is the difference other than the fairing?
