It was fun at first but....

I have had several bikes in my day and never had one that would stop people in their tracks. When I picked up the F6B the dealer warned me that I could generate a lot of interest and comments from total strangers. I chuckled as I put the visor down on my helmet and rode off.

3 Months later.....

I love my bike and love to ride it. I can see this bike and I together for a very long time. I have had the following:

People wanting to talk while I am at a stoplight.
People stopping me as I pull off in a parking lot.
Tons of gas station conversations.
Lot's of discussions on runs and rides.
Can I sit on it?......No!


I kinda wish I would have bought a Harley and no one would give a sh^t.

I have had the "well it's not a harley" or "looks like a harley wanna be" comment.

I chalk it up to the fact that their cool head bandanna is too tight.

No one ever talks to me. I'm starting to take this shit personally! :icon_lol:

Im in the same boat. Not one person has asked me about my F6B. I guess no one really cares. I feel left out.

HILARIOUS .... "Can I sit on it .... NO!!!!!" as a matter of fact ... HEEELLLL NOO!!! LOL ... that's funny ... i've gotten the stop light conversations and the gas station ones as well. I will up you one ... while in Myrtle Beach for Bike week .. i was posted up and guy actually comes over and physically moves my leg out of the way so he can see the f6b symbol in the cockpit. (I've removed all of the honda logos, etc ...) I'm like dude ... do I know you??? You can't just walk up to a man and grab his leg ...lmao ..WTF!!!

I felt like I worked for Honda after the 3rd group of folks walked by ...

Yes, I have had many,many people stop about the F6....I was already use to this due to owning a Rune.....

I pulled into a gas station the other day that was swarming with Harley riders and their Davidsons.......one guy walked over with a big smile on his face and asked if that was the new Wing. I smiled and said "Yep". He said it looks like "....a......what was that other bike called.....oh yeah, a Rune!!

He needs to get out more........

You need a engraved aluminum placard that says "You must be totally nude to touch this bike."

Good thing you did not have an F6B badge on your bike's seat. No telling what the dude would have grabbed.
LOL:banana:

Ive always driven stuff that drew attention...I like the interaction .....never get tired of hearing "that brings back memories"...I look forward to owning the F6B...:yes:

It's pretty standard fare for me. This is my 4th bike. I've owned a Suzuki Madura, Yamaha V-Max, Valkyrie, and now the F6B. I wouldn't describe any of them as "standard fare" - they've all drawn attention.

Come to think of it - it's all been pretty positive attention too.

Except for the group of Goldwings I passed on the Valkyrie when I was hooliganning it up on the way to test out the F6B. They didn't appreciate being passed at that speed. :icon_twisted:

Well.. my old wing got lots of nostalga looks (GL1100), and I know this one is going to get more than my VFR1200 for sure!!

I got total attention when I pulled into Corbin's service bay. There were 5 Harley guys and two staff in the bay, especially after I lifted the chin bar on my helmet and said hi . :icon_mrgreen:

If my wife is with me, I dont even get a second look... after having it for 5 years, her Spyder still gets all the attention at stops..

I just finished a 10 day trip with 12 other bikes, 9 of them were Harleys. I bet I had a dozen people take pictures of my bike at gas stations and hotels, not one of them asked to take a picture of the HD's. I think it started to piss off the Harley owners, "$250,000 dollars worth of Harley Davidsons and they want a picture of the Honda", heard it several times.

I like Harleys, but design hasn't changed that much in years... now the F6B we all know how unique it is and I cant wait to purchase mine...

I spent the last 13 days working at the Republic Of Texas Biker Rally in Austin Texas. I have been envolved with this rally as a participant or staff member since it started in 1995. I took my F6B on a trailer behind my RV this year and was there for all the events. It got a lot of attention riding around the rally site. I even rode in the VIP section of the Friday night parade to Congress Street with the celebrity Harley inspired bike builders (Arlen and Zack Ness led the parade along with the rock band Twisted Sister) and many of them were all over my bike since they had not seen one before. Heck, I even let a few people sit on it. They could not believe how light it felt.

I still get a lot of attention around town since this bike is so new. I figure the attention will stop as more of our motorcycles are on the road.

Ride your F6B at night when no one is looking. I have a 2nd bike which is my everyday bike, the Burgman 650 Exec. I still get a lot of looks and people stopping to talk.

If you ride your F6B at night and don't stop by local biker hangouts or stop anywhere where there are people you'll be safe. By using this method, I have had no one stop me to question me about my F6B. Do the same and you can spend your time having fun riding rather than being stopped :clap2:

I have had a number of people ask questions about the bike. One at a gas station wanted to take pictures, I think he took about 7. Rode up to a little town north of where I live and went to a bike bar, mostly HD's. I Must have had 15 of these guys checking out the bike and a couple took pics, three came over to talk and ask questions. I am use to this however. I still own a 1997 chromed out Honda Valkyrie that turns heads and prompts comments and pics from almost everywhere I go.

People in my neck of the woods only seem to respond to LOUD bikes with Ape Hangers. Does anyone make a set of Ape Hangers to fit the F6B ???:nono:

You do not need Ape Hangers. You are riding a superior bike. I am on a Honda 1300R VTX. I catch flack for not being a Harley rider. I tell them, I do not need a Harley nor VIAGRA. Once, I honored another motorcycle group by playing TAPS for one of their members, at his grave. I had to ride at the back of their ride to a cookout after the graveside honor. They have 'American' made bikes. I told them, my VIN was 1H. My bike was made in Ohio, USA. I say, BE YOURSELF! screw others. Be happy with what you have. You are riding a Honda that will outlast any of the APE Hanger bikes.

Yes brother. I saw The F6B and was saved, as in saved from Harley cultism. I had an Electra Glide Classic. I liked it much. I commenced buying it all kind of pretty things to put on it. By now I was deep in the Harley Kool-aid. I started riding with other cult members and our ending destinations was always the local Harley Dealer shrine. We'd always ride to the shrine and pay homage, and buy stuff. The last ride was about our ride to the shrine. The next trip was to go to another shrine and buy another $60 tee-shirt that proved we had been there to worship. Soon it was the boots, then the chaps, then the gloves, do -rags, hats, tin signs, the pins, more shirts, shot glasses, underwear, anything Harley. Nothing but Harley oil, Harley cleaning stuff, and Harley magazines. Then one day while at the shrine, I was about to pop on a $500 coat when my wife just up and slapped me. I saw stars. Then I saw a bunch of overpriced merchandise and they same bikes I been seeing for 50 years but with different tank badges. As I was recovering I started looking at other bikes, and riding them and then I went full circle from my early Honda 175 Scrambler, XL350, 450 twin, and CB750 back to this F6B Honda. I like it much but I don't worship it. I don't have anything that says Honda, but I might get something. Things change, times change, Harleys don't. We've all changed. You don't meet the nicest people on a Honda no more. Bout damn time them othe a-holes know that. It don't get old. later....
What was this thread about anyways?

That's some funny stuff there because I know what you are talking about since I own a Street Glide.

Double Dog Ditto! While reading this my last few riding years were flashing through my head. So glad to be free from the shrine and the worship. Now I just worship the road. Anyone wanna buy some Harley gear? :icon_mrgreen:

Oh yeah, and so far my bike has been confused with a Victory Vision, and someone thought it was a BMW. I think it looks like a two wheeled Cadillac. Thinking about some caddy badges front and rear. :icon_wink:

How does the front circle Honda badge come off? Is it glued on as well?

Reach up behind the badge or down through the pocket and you will feel a hole behind the badge use something blunt to push the badge off I tend to warm it first with a hair dryer its glued on with double sided tape

I take delivery of my F6B Weds-- my daily bike has been a 99 Valkyrie for 4 years (also own a hayabusa)-- Did a ride not too long ago with a bunch of Harley guys -- the first thing was it made even a road king look small -- then when I fired it up jaws hit the ground (Cobra 6 pipe) at our first stop I had to wait for them -- the quote was "that big assed son of a bitch hauls balls" I expect more of the same from the wing

If you have the hair get a BMW logo and stick it where the Honda deal goes. Ends the speculation. Starts a rumor. Stops the pass waving requirement.

I went to the local Harley dealership that I frequent in the past with the F6B. Several guys came over and one in particular said, "Wow, that is one beautiful bike, what is it". I told him "it was a 2014 Harley, don't you recognize your own brand?" :icon_cool:

Sounds like the life I had before seeing the light. I had reliability issues (I know you cant believe that) with my last Harley under warranty and the stealership refused to make it right. When it broke down and left me stranded for the fourth time in 6 months I decided to give them one last chance. When they refused to fix it, I traded it on the F6B. When I returned to sell the extended warranty back to the shop, the owner of the shop came out to look at the new ride. I had been getting ripped off at this shop for 6 years through 3 bikes, the owner said "That is a nice looking bike, dont you get warm behind that engine", Nope it is water cooled, "Well the only real issue I see with that bike is that you wont get any credibility pulling up to the bar on a Honda" I couldnt resist, it came out like water.....I couldnt get any pushing the Harley on a trailer either but you couldnt fix that. He dropped his head and walked back inside.

There was a rider in ABQ, NM about 1977, that had a very nice Harley. There was a brass plate on the tank that said, "if you value your life, as I value my bike, you won't touch it".

Best question yet was "Where's the trunk?" I showed him how deep the saddlebags are and he left me alone.

Sell it and buy a harley.

Only other bike I've had that got this much attention is my Valkyrie...which is why I still have it. Only part I don't like about all the attention the F6B attracts is when the idiot in the cage on the beltway is staring at it and drifting over into my lane. :nutkick:
