    This new bike looks great and I like that brown color a lot. But my 2016 B is paid off and I will be waiting a while longer before buying a new bike. At least that's what the Minister of Finance said to me!

    Does anybody know what that flat retractable thingy on top of the instrument cluster is or does?

    Prefer my B

    I prefer the look of my 15 F6. I'm glad of that since I don't fully own it yet!

    I'm guessing it's an air vent to help the 2 part windshield deflect the air.

    Smaller tank and a higher seat. I'll key my F6B for a long time.

    It's possible, but it lifts up an inch or two and stays horizontal ... odd position for a vent, plus it has no louvers. Wingstuff thinks it might be some kind of sensor. Anyway, I'm going to the official presentation at Honda HQ in Torrance tomorrow, so I'll ask if somebody knows.

    Looks pretty much like a vent to me, and if it goes up/down an 1" or 2" maybe it's to direct the wind at your face or not. I'm thinking it could also be to deflect the wind coming under the backside of the screen, maybe. Anyway, can't wait to read your impressions after going to the HQ in Torrance tomorrow!
