Yep. It's definitely not your father's Wing.
I want the matte green one they had in 2024. There's one for sale a couple hours away. Trying to talk myself out of it.

Absolutely gorgeous…I can see why. That matte green is different. Is the seating position still the same as in the past or can you stretch your legs a bit more? Pegs look forward a little more than in the past. I’m impressed.

It's a little more rider forward, helping even more with handling but feels about the same posture. The flat six is an awesome platform but that does limit longer legged riders.
 
Yesterday's "Sunday drive." (Ride).

The last leg, from Young Harris through Dahlonega, then Dawsonville, and into Cumming, was all done at night.
Those twisty mountain roads sure get dark. I'm glad that my bike has upgraded headlight bulbs, and I have added some yellow fog lights on the forks that I flipped "on" as well.

Some cosmetic (which drives me crazy) that would require painting one of the bag covers due to it apparently side swiping something 🙄, bike appeared to have been outside, a lot. Filthy (by my standards). Not 100% sure spotting on paint would come out.
The new double wishbone in the front supposedly increased the lean angle and lowered center of gravity. Still felt top heavy. Last full dresser I had was a Valkyrie Interstate. That thing had a real gas tank (with the accompanying weight up top) and even that didn't feel top heavy. It could just be that I've been too long with my rear dragging low on the
Road Star I currently ride. The tech on the bike is amazing. I tried rolling on a few times during the test ride and thought it was a bit lacking. Then I noticed the little mode button. It was set to "tour". Flipped it to "sport" and it was on.... 😎
Shifting (shaft) could have been smoother but again it could just be that I'm now used to belt driven. I've never had an issue with previous shaft drives. Brakes were "grabby" but again, I'm sure it's just being used to that particular bike. When protection was amazing, even for what appears to be a much scaled down fairing and windshield. I still may wind up with one, since my wife has given up riding her own and wants to be a passenger. Just won't be that specific one.

Sounds like the bike had some issues. Probably why it was sold

I live just north of Dahlonega and ride the mountains all the time. The corners definitely get tight at night in the twisties. It really helps some to have cornering lights. Those on my Versys 1000 help out quite a bit.
