    What Impressed you first

    I know some will say the ride, the look, the power, the smoothness but being an old truck driver and this is my eighth motorcycle what really caught me by surprise other than the rest of the obvious benefits was the fact that I could back this bike up using the mirrors. I had never had one that I could use the mirrors to back it up. Just totally caught me by surprise. I was also surprise that it was miles ahead of my M109R Suzuki Boulevard in handling and just overall better in just about every category. A wonderful machine!

    I think it was the power and handling that sold me on this bike, not to mention the good looks.
    2013 F6B in black of course

    Like most males, I was attracted to the lines and curves at first.
    Once we started dating, her overall performance sealed the deal.

    Oh yeah, same for the F6B...

    That's funny!

    Yep. It was her looks. Then her performance.

    I bought mine without a test ride. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed with the power, handling or reliability. It's a Honda.

    I love fixed fairing bikes and the long, low, bagger style of this bike drew me in.

    I tell everyone, "This isn't your father's Goldwing".

    Just liked the smooth power delivery and the quickness, along with the Honda reputation for reliability.....

    I bought mine without a test drive also, saw it, had to have it, bought it. The power and handling were better than I expected.

    .... just hope I don't have the same thing happen when I see the BMW Concept 101 sitting in a dealer showroom.
