Is the F6B a Goldwing?

[Hornblower]

Maybe the reason I did it...now when they ask, I tell them it's a Decepticon. Of course, all the young folks already know that

Im sure im not the only one to have had this conversation at a gas station:

Q: What is that?
Me: Its a F6B.

receive dumbfounded look....

Q: A what?
me: Its a goldwing without a trunk..

OHHHHH.

Just the other day I rolled up at a light next to a guy on a Yamaha cruiser. He looked my bike over and I could tell he had no clue what it was. Like many here, I debadged the front and back Honda letters and have Batman F6B logos in the side fairing. The Yamaha rider asks me "what is it"? I responded "it's a Honda" and he nodded approvingly. I might start telling folks it's a Bat Bike. It also amazes me how many Harley riders can't figure out it's just a Goldwing with no trunk.

According to an article in this months WW, Mother Honda is officially calling the 2015 a "Gold Wing F6B" in order to specifically designate it a Gold Wing model in order to disspell and diffuse the controversy that it is, indeed, a Gold Wing!

Honda? Check.
Pancake 4 or 6? Check
It's a GoldWing.

GoldWing started life as a naked bike.
My first Wing, which I never bonded with, was a naked bike that had a touring accessories kit bolted on.

I'm going to buy either an F6B or a full dress Wing in the spring.

But they're both GoldWings. The motor makes it so.

The F6C Valkyrie is a Goldwing too, but I don't consider it one even though it technically is per Mother Honda. I guess the my point is that I don't care what Honda says it is. It is what I say it is.

I own a sleek, low, black 'B that says I'll kick that touring bike's ass every time out.
Even if they have the exact same power train, I certainly don't drive my 'B like the nice couple over there.

You are invited to try..

If we apply that to every word or concept, communication rapidly ceases to exist. (Believe it or not, this is actually the exact thing I studied in college.) In order to communicate, you must be able to define why a F6C Valkyrie is not a Goldwing. That's going to be particularly hard to do if it's creater specifically says it is one. Once upon a time I spent an entire college semester studying whether playing chess without a queen was still playing chess. Got an A in the class too -- one of the very few.

I subscribe to the theory that the universe was created out of chaos and I've never been a big fan of adult communication or rules.
