After ABS and fuel injection, one of my main reasons to upgrade to a Wing was for the reverse.
I have a North facing garage with a cement driveway. It is always icy in the winter to some degree, especially when the melting snow starts dripping off the roof right in front of the garage door. With the freezing rain we had a couple of weeks ago, the driveway is downright treacherous by the door.
When I got home from work on Thursday, I actually got stuck trying to get the bike turned around. The back tire was on ice and I had to take about 10 runs at it to get over a 1" deep section of snow where the kid's car had been parked. Once the bike was straight, I hit reverse and it walked the bike right into the garage.
I normally have a really hard time pushing the bike backwards because I can't get any footing on the ice. The reverse on the Wing performed way better than I was anticipating. So, at least 5 thumbs up :yes1::yes1::yes1::yes1::yes1: for such a handy feature.
