I had an ST1300 nearly rode the wheels off it. I find the F6B better handling and easier to ride. I'm mostly an off road rider having difficulty staying off the F6B
I got rid of my 98 Valk tourer in 2001 , then have been regretting it since, and always looking for the same feeling as riding the Valk. I have countless bike since. I traded my 2011 Kawasaki vaquero with 20k on the clock for a preowned black F6b, got a good deal and the Valk feeling is back x10.
I have riddin Wings for 15 years and been very pleased untill I began to have a few issues with my back. (Moving around slowly in tight places, dropped 1 time and had fits uprighting the wing) My son suggested test riding a lighter bike. So I did. 1st was the Concours 1400, Then the Honda St 1300, And last but not least the FJR1300. All of these are good machines, but something was missing. There was no way I could spend a whole day on one of these. Then my salesman in Searcy Ark said ride this. (An f6b) I had not seen one up close. He felt that it would be a good fit. It was and is. After some barganing I traded my 07 Navi Wing. I made it home just before the weather got cold and icy and here I sit with only 100 miles in the saddle wanting to ride. Like this forum
Just picked up a new 2013 F6B std in black last nite….
Traded in my 04 FJR with 89,000 miles on her. The
salesman let me take this for a 50 mile test ride and I was
all in…..Looking forward to some seriously long rides….

Well...I have been since 1997 anyway. I am on my second Valkyrie (Interstate) and have been feeling I wanted to do something new but frankly haven't really seen anything that pulled my bobber under the water.I went to the dealer today with my wife to look at the new Wings and F6B's and I must say I was quite intrigued by the F6B. The dealer shot me an almost unbelievable price for my Valkyrie in trade. Weather was not good enough to ride in today, going back next Saturday. It is the deluxe model with the larger windshield.
He is also giving me 1000 in Honda bucks. Hope to report back in next week as a new owner!
