Finally took a test ride. Fifteen minutes in, I was seriously considering asking if I could turn it in tomorrow and going riding all day. Instead I brought it back and put a deposit on a new black Deluxe, comes in next Saturday. Time to go accessory shopping!

You know, all the chatter about how gravity-defyingly light on its feet this bike is still didn't prepare me for the wizardry Honda pulled off on this motorcycle. It feels more responsive even than my Multistrada, only with a ton of comfort.

Can't wait to get it out into the backcountry to see how she does in the sweepers and twisties. Stoked! :041:

You will be amazed at how this 800+ lb. bike handles the twisties! 'riding' It almost defies physics which is probably due to the unusually low CG. Welcome to the group who has "seen the light" :idea:.

Congrats. I'm sure you'll love it. I think it handles the twisties better than the St1300 I Had. JMHO

As a recent "convert" myself, I can only echo what everyone else is saying. I've had my red Deluxe ("The Red Queen, Off with her head!") for 13 days and already have 500 miles on the odo. She is SO sweet and responsive! Let the fun begin!

.welcome20. many more smiles ahead. I'm
Still riding with the HD boys myself. When I first got the F6B of course they had to make fun saying things like "I can't hear you" or "looks like a scooter". They said I must of fallen on my head etc. Now after many rides together they defend me to other HD riders bragging about the amazing Torque it has Etc. Etc.
Definitely puts a smile on my Face..:banana:.......................Dickie

Didn't have to ride it, I owned an '86 1100, just signed the contracts and waited three days.
