A very nice "looking" machine. I have always liked the F6B version and have been very tempted.
Control issues (not a reverse trike) would be a concern. Most commentary indicates that they are much harder to drive because of having to wrestle with the handlebars.
Safety issues. The reverse trike seems to have more going for it safety wise.
I believe the warranty is nullified and the local dealer will not work on a "triked" wing--period. I did not check out the article to find whether or not this was a "factory" offering. That would change warranty and service issues.
The entry level price is about $10K less that a decked out RT for the basic bike. I would not consider a "triked" version.
I hate to say it, but I have been looking at "big iron" again, once my hip issues are solved. Linda will still have a Spyder (the 2014 RT-S), but I may have a new ride. Among the candidates, the F6B ($20K) and the Kawasaki Vaquero ($17K).

It's a Motor Trike conversion. See the front side of the fenders in the video. As far as warranty that's probably a dealer decision. The local Honda dealer here will take care of all warranty work related to the OEM part of the bike and sends them to the converter for anything related to the conversion.
Without looking at the detail specs I'm thinking the engine, although a flat six like the 'wing, is slightly different design. I know the Valkyrie engine was a bit different. My understanding when the F6B was brought out that it is aimed at a younger sportier crowd than the typical GW buyer.
