Where are the F6B Riders coming from?

[OlyF6B]

After almost three years of fixing up a nice Yamaha Raider S...



...decided to go a completely different route... and picked up a 2016 Deluxe with 0 miles on the clock. Rode it home yesterday from Salem, OR (to Olympia, WA).... what a nice ride!!



Let the "Project" begin!! (Had dealer install the Klock Werks 14" dark smoke windshield.)

And "No..." that isn't a leak under the scoot... I think it is what is left from a Carmel Macchiatto (SB parking lot - go figure!)


Previous rides..

- Honda VTX 1800C
- Suzuki C90
- Honda 650 Turbo
- Honda 900 Custom
- Suzuki GS 450

Tim here,
I'm outside of DC in the MD burbs.
I left my beloved Triumph Thunderbird LT for the B as parts & service for the Bird were becoming more & more challenging.
Over 50yrs or so I've had Yamaha(hahaha)'s 100, 200, 350 & several 650's. Also a Jawa 350, Vulcan classic and a crazy fun Triumph Bonneville.
I do a lot of riding around VA, NC, GA, WV & TN & crave twisties. Never thought I'd wind up with a bike like my B but I have to admit I ain't looking back! Love this forum, it has been enormously helpful, many thanks.
Be well.

[Radman]

Coming from Hamilton, ON Canada.

First bike was a Suzuki Volusia 800cc, then a Suzi Katana 750, traded the Volusia to a C90 when I started dating my wife to be. Traded both the Kat and the C90 for a blue and silver 2000 Valkyrie Interstate which had 88K kms (55K miles) on it....rode it another 130K kms (80K miles) until I traded for the F6B. I didn't think there would be anything as good as the Valkyrie....but then Honda made the F6B...and am LOVIN' IT!!!

Did the deal Saturday afternoon. Bad case of buyers remorse this morning as I have anytime I make a high dollar purchase.. : p
We spent all day Easter Sunday on the super comfortable new F6B- 240 miles in the book.
50 mpg taking the ozark back roads nice and easy as she only had 1 mile on her when we rode it off the lot.

Congrats on the new F6B! I too had a few sleepless nights thinking about the "deal" I made. I took a few rides over the weekend and have not thought about it since. This bike has so many great features and could easily be my last bike. All of the great reviews, including May 13 Cycle World, should make you feel better! Welcome to the forum!

F6B Riders .....

What Motorcycle did you trade, retired or sold to acquire a NEW F6B ?

I have seen several posts from Riders that are coming from another Brand of motorcycle. Just curious where everyone is coming from.

I traded my 2005 Goldwing 1800 for the f6b even though it don't have many of the features of my 1800 I liked the style and wanted to stick with the Goldwing. I am just breaking in my bike and very pleased with it.
