    With the new Moto Guzzi and BMW baggers just released, I'd bet Honda keeps it around for a while.

    Interesting to note that in one of the "spy shots" of the BMW Bagger, they try to disguise it with a top box.I wonder if that will be an option down the road?Attachment 24583

    I have heard that the top case will be an option, but maybe not in time for the initial release of the bike. Bike won't be available until mid 2017, but interest is very strong at the local dealer. It will be at the Chicago Progressive Motorcycle show in February. Got to wonder what 160 hp will feel like in a bagger!!!

    I hope your right on the future of the F6B..Although my riding days are coming to an end as my age is catching up with me, I for one am really interested in checking out the new BMW bagger...160HP and all would be a "hoot"...But at almost 77 years old, I need it like a hole in the head!!...Ride safe

    Needing things are way over rated Opas! I would say if you want something at your age you deserve it.

    I was wondering about this just a few days ago. I had checked the website a week ago, and it wasn't available yet. So glad they decided to continue it!

    That's a sharp looking bike. I don't think it's as fast as the Black ones though.

    If you want it, are still riding and can afford it buy it. I rode one and it was very cool but almost the same style of bike as the F6B / sport touring in my opinion.
    It was faster and probably handles the curves better. At the price they want for the 1600GTL or bagger I could go and get a Yamaha FZ-10 or maybe a used low mileage Ducati Diavel and have both a world class sports touring bike (F6B) and a comfortable world class high speed standard sport bike that would really perform for shot blast on the twisties (Ducati Diavel or Yamaha FZ-10)

    F6B $13,600
    Yamaha FZ-10 $12,000

    $25,600.00 maybe less!!!

    Strange. They didn't update the audio system or add ABS.
