I will guarantee there will be twice as many f6b bikes on the streets of Chicago come next riding season ... 9 out of 10 folks who see my bike up close and not online or through word of mouth are absolutely in love with this machine ... I have a buddy who got his just last week. Here in Chicago, unfortunately, we're seasonal riders and folks are already gearing up for the winter, therefore their eyes are set for next season. Every time I go downtown Chicago, I turn in to a 'Honda' rep ... tons of questions and compliments ... this bike will def make a mark in Chicago. I can stand on that personally ... and if it doesn't ... the hell with it ... I GOT MINE!!!!
