That is cool looking.

[Motozeke]

That F6B looks great in the flesh and I found it more accommodating when sitting on it than the full sized Wing. I would consider it, but the lack of a reverse on such a big bike would concern me.

Easy to move around, dismounted. Or just be careful about parking spots.

I keep meaning to shoot a video of me moving bikes around. It's all about leaning it against your hip. Most people try to move the bike perfectly upright; it's wickedly unstable to do that. Far too easy to go over the other side.

I"ve used the reverse on my GL1800 exactly once, and it wasn't really necessary. select parking spots somewhat carefully, don't nose in downhill to curbs, and you have no problems other than ordering a new set of footpegs every year to replace the ground-off pair.

Exactly, with a whopping 28" inseam my Honda ST's might as well have been Wings, backing up hill and on loose stuff was a piss poor option for me. Park smart and don't worry about it.

Same issue with me and the Connie C10. 29 inch seat height and I wear 30L jeans. Parking spots picked carefully with my bike as well.
I've been in some hairy situations with slickery surfaces or gravelly rolling marbles under my feet.

I used the reverse on my Wing countless times.
You can try to pretend it's ok it's gone on the F6B, but you're kidding yourself.

I've always tried to park nose facing uphill etc, but there are times when that option is just not available.  When all the good parking spots are taken.

And there are other times when you have to park on loose surfaces (gravel, wet grass etc) where sitting on the scoot and hitting reverse to back out is much much more stable than trying to paddle it out.

Yeah, IMO losing the reverse is a huge mistake.

Do the any of the Glides have reverse?

No.

I believe it's available after market.

Also...

Be a man and back that shit up. But to be fair, all the Harley offerings have lower seats and frame than the 'Wing.

That's an excellent question. I poked around a bit and it turns out there are aftermarket kits to add reverse. I liked one comment, though: "A fixed fairing and reverse? Why not just buy a Gold wing?"

Edit: Oops. Carbo-man beat me to the punch.
