.batman-smiley. With love from Italy .... I see chrome (aftermarket?)

Also notice the BLACK Fury next to it. The 2014 GL1800 is available in Black also, are we seeing a trend?

What's TA, NEWS and AF on the left control box? I also noticed the headlight switch has a passing light feature that mine doesn't have. Those rotor covers would look good in black.

TA NEWS ETC is an RDS radio they don't have CB on Euro bikes but RDS is the radio data system it allows you to search for radio station types, also as many radio stations are national they have multiple frequencies these radios automatically hop as signals strengths change.

The passing flash is also a Euro requirement on vehicles

Yes, I saw that too. There is no excuse for it.

Another thing that you can see.... is a properly mounted front tire and a not so properly mounted rear tire. The Rim white paint (NEVER REMOVE) dot is the lightest part of the rim, the painted yellow dot on the tire is the heaviest part of the tire. Once you line up the dots the need for balancing weights is minimal. Someone at the factory didn't mount the rear tire perfectly.

When mounting tires, you should always ask the technician to align these dots, many don't have a clue.

Hard to tell but it looks like (Prezzo - price includes VAT*) 24,800 Euros
At today's rate of $1USD = $1.35 Euros, that makes the price for a 2014 F6B in Italy... $33,400 USD Daayyuuuummm !

* VAT stands for Value Added Tax

How did Paul in Scottland end up with a 2013 Black F6B (ABS model) that is currently being triked?

Yes ,I too noticed this. It must happen frequently at Honda as mine is misaligned as well. It's one of the first things I noticed on mine after the Crappy paint and lack of Cruise control. Other than that I love the Bike............Dickie
