Yes these wings are awesome! Handle way better than something this size should. Very confidence inspiring. I can only imagine how much better they are 100# lighter!

Agreed. Taking off CC was unwise. Once the system is designed and implemented on a bike, it costs next to nothing to leave it there. Honda wanted to add distinctions b/n the Wing and the F6B, but this is a short-sighted way to do it.

Motorcycles built by committee instead of by actual motorcyclists?

Flat sixes have kind of a cool sound with aftermarket pipes on them. A buddy of mine had a Valk with and exhaust on it, thing sounded like a Porsche.

Another point for the Honda, their flat six engine will never wear out or require more than nominal service in this lifetime. It is a great powerplant for people who put serious miles on their bikes.
