Likely future F6B owner

Thanks everyone! I realized I have a few more crappy photos:

I like that color.

That Blue looks really good.

Thanks! The blue is really nice, especially in person. I had actually never seen a blue F6B in person until I laid eyes on mine for the first time. It is the same blue as the 2014 Valkyrie, so I figured I'd also like it on the F6B when I put down my deposit site unseen. I think it looks even better on the F6B.

Just thought I would throw this out there....I have noticed more than one person say the CTX 1300 is underpowered. I currently own a level 3 Wing converted to an F6B and a CTX 1300 and while the CTX is not quite as smooth as the Wing (what is?), mine is just as fast if not faster than the Wing, at least up to a hundred MPH and it also handles quite well in the twisties, it just takes a bit of getting used to handlebar position and mirror location compared to the Wing.

Glad you like the CTX1300! I haven't compared magazine test stats, I just perceived it to be less powerful. Maybe if I had taken a longer test ride my opinion would have changed.

Yes that blue is very sharp on the F6B. On the Valkyrie I was less enthused about it and preferred the black or the red.

I am sure I hear the exhaust of the new ones soon enough. I look forward to it. I'm keeping my eyes open to see the new Two Bros. Exhaust.

Just a thought, perception sometimes can be very subjective. The CTX1300 at 76 hp and 78 ft. lbs of torque and a Cycle World test 1/4 mile of 12.8 seconds, it measures a full second slower than when Cycle World tested the F6B. I really liked the ergonomics of the CTX1300, and if they had left the engine alone when they transplanted it from the ST1300 who knows. But Honda decided to neuter it for a more Cruiser style feel I guess. Nice bikes though.
