Difference between a Goldwing and a Goldwing F6B

[paid4c4]

I am shopping for a used Goldwing for a friend. I've been contacted by someone selling a 2015 F6B. Being fairly new to Goldwings I'm not sure what the an F6B is when compared to a regular Goldwing. Comments will be appreciated.

The F6B is essentially a "regular" Goldwing stripped of a few of the creature comforts. The rear trunk is removed, some of the chrome accents are removed and some of the accessories have been stripped. It was a bike produced to try to compete with American "baggers". The cost and market value is somewhat less than the GL1800..... Jim

2 things turned me off of that bike... no reverse, and no rear top trunk.

Yes, ... I appreciate the full-bore Gold Wing.

I believe the F6B Deluxe model has the reverse now although not sure what year they started that.

I'm not sure but I think some years on the F6B's don't have cruise control, and I don't think they have centerstands either.
