thinking of a used wing
Oss:
responded to a bike in Mineola for beautiful blue 2013 Wing with the works for 11900 but just got an email it was sold
Surely there will be more posted as the weather gets colder
If you have a 2023 dct model what do you think of it

I've had a 2014 F6c until April 2024 when a car decided on the highway my bike would not go any further (231,000 km) so I had to replace it. :'(
I found a GW Bagger DCT 2023 :
I never liked the ordinary GW because it is too fat, too big for me (63 kg) and I think the design is obsolete :evil:. I ride alone most of the time and I don't need the enormous backseat (comfy for sure !). The trunk has changed on the 2020 GW and now you can put two helmets in it. I've bought a Maxia 5 GIVI and it's fine for me.
IMHO, If I had to choose between a 2018 (18,000 $) and a 2013 model (12,000 $) I wouldn't hesitate. The new GW is much more refined, brakes better, the DCT is excellent.
My 2023 Bagger alas is not as fast as my F6c 2014 was and when I reach 100 mls/h, that's almost the end of it >:(
After 12,000 km in four months, I still have to be very cautious at very slow speed, the bike falls easily aside (slippery foot, lousy road surface, HD plot etc.) ;D
HayHauler:
How do you like that DCT? I have heard that it is really nice, but takes practice in slow speed manuvers.
Is that your impression?

Totally ! :evil:
Maybe you must not be too cautious in the very slow manuvers and speed up a little because when you leave the sidewalk on which you parked the bike or some country parking lot, if the bike is leaning just a little bit and you stop, it's then very difficult to keep the bike from falling even though you have both feet on the ground. I never had this problem with the F6c 2014 because the seat is much lower.
But the bike is fine, you can ride almost non stop for 7 hours (from Paris to Marseille, 660 km) quite easily though the seat is not as comfy as you thought it would be.

Thanks for the info ledany. Was curious how it would feel for the MCT transmission.
