Upstate NY in coldest Feb. in like 150 years...11 below and worse. I was looking for a cruisable newer bike to replace my Triumph Triple (2004 Thunderbird Sport). I looked seriously at the FJR1300, Triumph Trophy (sort of seriously- concerns about dealers and reliability) BMW (too pricey)...anyway), when I was about to pull the trigger on the FJR I realized my dealer had the 2013 F6B. I looked at reviews and couldn't find anything legitimately negative about tit (some whiners about Honda did this or that, but no substantive negatives about the bike itself) and the pictures looked great- not a Harley wannabe or a copy of anything.. WELL, in a flash I realized it answered everything I was really looking for- Suitable for an old man (68, cool (1800+cc) reliable, unique, service nearby, NOT replace my Triumph but fill a hole ... I cannot wait to take delivery-- my dealer will hold it till the salt washes off the roads here- and I can clear a space in the garage. I paid 16200 total- maybe than some of the prices I've been seeing here but I really like this dealer- I'm in a rural area and I want to get it locally, get this- after it all- I find out it is a DELUXE...Dealer has promised to be good to me for accessories asnd I trust him. So all in all I'm pleased- I never thought of myself a a Honda guy but now I'm like proud of it! (well- sort of- still have a littler eurosnob with the triumph- sorry- what can I say! Anyway- I look forward to sharing on this site.
Finally- I want to hold off before I add anything to it. I finally found something positive about my shrinking as I get old- the windshield seems to be more of a problem for taller riders- I'm like 5'9" or less (I have trouble accepting it!)

Well, enough for now- glad I found this site- looking forward to my planned ride to DC and Ashville this summer!!!!!
