What happens when you apply both brakes? Also, is this something you have to enable in the menu or is it already set in default for both ɓrakes to work at the same time?
@bgrides210821 күн бұрын
Hello, Not exactly sure how the brakes balance each other when both brakes are applied if that's what your wondering. You can apply both and they work really well for a lack of better description. I would imagine a dealer could give you a better answer. I don't think you need to enable this in the menu selection but not exactly sure. I think it's a default. You could try searching for videos about this type of braking... Thanks for watching!
@Falcon6718 күн бұрын
The brakes are mechanically linked there is no electronic menu adjustment. It's not a BMW so obviously you save a ton of money and weight not adding all the electronic nanny's. But the system is rather seamless and intuitive. I ride mine like a sport bike and I trail brake all the time. The linked brake system does not interfere with trail braking. Even aggressive last minute trail braking like on a track. I've had mine over far enough to scrape a knee braking hard in corners stable as a train on rails and smooth as glass. This bike rocks! Think ZX - 14R with comfy seating or FAT ZX - 10R without the uncomfortable seating position. You could take it too a track one day and ride across the country the next!
@Falcon6718 күн бұрын
To answer your question more specifically on using both brakes at once. If you applied both brakes you'll just stop that much faster. This bike, though it handles extremely well is very heavy 620lbs. She hides her weight well as you wouldn't know it unless you were trying to push her or back her up a hill? The linked brakes are designed to be smooth and unnoticed if you apply only the front brake, like say in a corner. The rear brake will automatically be applied ever so lightly as to be almost imperceptible. If you are an old Harley or cruiser rider and only use your rear brake the front brake will be gently applied but not enough to upset the balance. My favorite way to stop is to tap down on my rear then apply more aggressive force to the front while gently releasing the rear this causes the bike to apply both breaks simultaneously with the strongest and most progressive stopping power. You can actually throw yourself over the bars if you're not careful. Only other bike I've ridden that stops harder is a BMW.

The F6B doesn't come with a trunk, so if you're riding with a passenger, then the Goldwing is nice. I personally like the F6B. Looks a little sportier without the trunk. You'll find the Goldwing has a few more little features than the F6B, but I didn't miss any of them when I had my F6B. The trunk on a Goldwing is nice if you like bring a little more stuff on trips. You can lock up everything without worrying about someone steeling something. I would say the ride performance comparison is very similar. I had the F6B and loved it. I took it on many two-week trips and loved it.
