Hello all, I'm new to the forum. My wife and I went to check out the 2013 F6B and she told me to buy one. She loves the Princess seat but said she couldn't deny the styling of the F6B.

I started doing research and was wondering 2 things...

1. What changes do you hope they make on the 2014 F6B?

2. Should I pull the trigger now or wait to see if they fix some of the issues people are having?

I'm a patient guy so I don't mine waiting if I need to.

Thanks guys. I love all the content of this site, keep it up!

1. Cruise Control would be nice.

2. Paint could be of better quality.

3. Adjustable passenger back rest.

4. Unlike you...I'm not a very patient person, so I pulled the trigger with a deposit last November when I saw the bike online!

5. With line 4 being said, go ahead and live today! I highly doubt you will be disappointed!

I'm not a very patient person either, I bought the first F6B in AZ and the second one sold to a member in this site. I'm two days behind BlackBetty.

Paint is the only issue for me I'm not real happy about that. Other than that I love the bike

Cruise controll isn't a big deal for me, neither is reverse. I'd like a louder stereo but thats just me being picky, its pretty good for stock factory.

I didn't see you on the VIN LIST. Did you choose not to be listed?

I was on the first one before the site crash, haven't got around to updating yet. I haven't even posted as much since the crash, We lost a lot of great info, and I lost a little interest( not in the bike) anyway 2/16/13 00465 is mine

The site crash was a bummer but we're making a come back!

Noone was more disappointed than myself and our webmaster. We must rebuild, it has been 17 days since the crash and we are coming back strong. I applaud everyone in their effort to restore the site back to where it was. It will take sometime but we will recover. Just keep posting anything motorcycle related.

It was unfortunate but several websites lost everything. The day of the crash the hacker group known as "ANONYMOUS" attacked Century Link's Internet services for 12 hours. Century Link customers were not able to access the internet during that time. The hackers were successful in crashing several Hosting servers and corrupted the back-up servers. Don't know how they did it, but they did.

To put it in simple terms, imagine putting the data of over 100 websites through a paper shredder, then tossing it off a 50 story building …. good luck in finding the data of a specific website ……. is virtually impossible. I have some of the corrupted data, the estimate to restore it by a professional is approximately 160 -180 hours :icon_frown:

Since the crash (on a weekly basis) I have been backing up the website on my personal external hard drive. Our hosting company has new servers and also backs up the data on a daily basis.

Speedy, once in a while we get knocked down on our ass, you just have to get back up on our feet and keep pushing forward, never quit, never look back but always learn from the past.

I don't care much about cruise. A Throttlemeister or other throttle lock is great on the long boring stretches. On hills and twisties, I like all-manual throttle.

The paint could be a lot better, but I can't help but think this will get resolved with enough effort from all of us.

Fix the paint and leave the rest just as is. If you want all the bells and whistles, buy a GL1800 big Gold Wing or other over accessorized bike. The F6B is uniquely simple. Just keep it that way!

Higher red line/rev limit
Sportier sounding exhaust
ABS
Cruise
(Would really like to be able to stay with my brother on his K1600GTL, it's about 3 mph faster in the quarter mile according to MC magazines.)
