I turned 70 just a bit ago. Have spent years doing a lot of skydiving but decided that it was prudent, considering my knee replacements, to knock off the jumping. I have consoled myself by trading my Valkyrie for the F6B. Wheee!

Traveling horizontally is a lot better than traveling vertically, I think. And congrats on the new purchase.. and turning 70.

Turn 65 this November! When I'm out riding I occasionally pass by one of those "Last Stop Hotels" (cemetery) and immediately appreciate and remind myself that being "over the hill" is much better than being "under the hill":clap2:

I call it the complete evolution of a motorcyclist. Starting hunched over, feet tucked way up and back on the most aggressive sports bike I could afford. Overtime I found myself slowly sitting further upright, legs un-folding as a result. My last bike (which I still have), a Concours 1400 was very comfortable and what I thought was the peak of evolution, and then came the F6B. I am now what I consider fully evolved. This bike has such a neutral riding position I just don’t know what to think, but that’s ok, as long as I don’t start to De-evolutionize, aka Harley riding position. I am the proud 2%...

I'm beginning to get old @ 55.
My neck couldn't take my CBR anymore. Then I got a new VFR and that wasn't much better, certainly not for long trips.

This, and my husband's 2012, are the two most expensive bikes we've ever bought. Most young people don't have that sort of disposable income at that point in their careers..

Will be 65 in about 3 weeks, been riding since 1962. First Honda 1966 305 Super Hawk. In the garage sits: F6B, 2012 Super Tenere, 2011 650 Burgman, 1978 Honda CB550 and 1975 CB750, I restored both CB's to café racers. I bought my wife a Suzuki S40 which I ride every now and then.

Just turned 68. The F6B is my 42nd bike but who's counting? Been married 44 years so I guess that puts me a couple of bikes behind schedule. This new bike probably won't be the last but could hold me for quite a while:icon_cool:

I got my first Goldwing when I was 20 years old. I drove it to Alaska and back. That was one of the best summers I've ever had. When I was 34, my daughter was born and I promised her I wouldn't ride bikes anymore. Now I turned 55 last week. I retired last year. I NEED TO RIDE AGAIN!!! I LOVE THE HONDA F6B. I have to figure out how I'm going to get one! Maybe if I sell my second car, but we have two little boys now and my wife doesn't want me to get a bike. I'll figure out a way! I want a Honda Goldwing f6b! I really want it!

I agree!! I am 32 and wanted to by a wing after several years of sport bikes, power cruisers and a harley. I would have except for the wife shut down the fact i also was considering a boat. She was not going for the motorcycle and a boat strategy, she has since changed her mind, thankfully i forcefully waited. This is by far one of the best bikes i have owned!!

Im 45 and I have an 86 V65 Magna, put 25,000 miles on a 03 VTX1800C,traded for a FJR1300 and found out that my 6'2 300 lb body didnt fit well,traded that on an 09 Yamaha Raider,and in the mean time picked up an 02 GL1800. I just traded the Raider and Wing in on my Black F6B Deluxe. Outside of the paint and radio volume issues I LOVE THIS THING!!!!!!!

62. Wife says I behave like I am 8 sometimes. There is such a wide range of ages posted, I think that's terrific. The one and only time I ever thought about age was last year after a 5 day hospital stay. (not bike related) Those thoughts went away as soon as I got the wind in my face again shortly thereafter. Aren't motorcycles just the best therapy ever?

According to our poll, almost 40% are 50 or under. I think Honda has achieved it's goal. :clap2:

With 80% being between 40 - 65 , Honda has captured an audience where the majority wasn't looking for a traditional Fully equipped Goldwing but wanted something Big and yet still practical.

On the other poll, over 60% of the F6B owners have come from riding something other than a Honda as their last Bike. That to me is a large accomplishment.:icon_cool::yes:

I did not take the poll as I do not own an F6B yet.....I am 77 and have a Honda Magna V4 and a Honda aero 1100....I will likely buy an F6B once a very high windshield is available.....

F6B is a Beautiful bike.

Just put a deposit on an F6B. (Signature Series in blurple) So, not an 'official' rider yet.
48
Honda VTX 1800, then a Stratoliner.
Always passed by the G-wings before as I was 'Cruiser-minded' and Wings felt cramped. Never wanted a trunk, either. (Still don't!) If it wasn't for the F6B, I still would not consider a "Goldwing".So glad Honda came out with the F6B with no trunk and it's new seating position! :yes:

Hah! The hook is set. Glad to hear you decided to bite. After last night's long ride I'm convinced this F6B is right for my 67 year old chassis...makes me one of the 5%'ers in the Poll. With an 18 year old brain of course. They are an excellent motorcycle.

55 when I bought last week but turning 56 in a month. Was riding a Yamaha T-Max 500 for thr past 5 years and still am...just knew the F6B was for me the minute I laid eyes on it. The T-Max is a great commuter for around town, but looking forward to some open road on the F6B.

11-08-2013, 02:54 PM
61 years old. Started on a 49 cc Zündapp gearless bike with just a clutch. To crank it, the clutch (left hand lever) had to be pulled... Then it could be paddled like a bicycle... Once up to enough speed, releasing the clutch lever would crank the engine and off you'd go. Stopping was simply pulling the clutch lever and breaking. On take off you could increase your "acceleration" some with a burst of paddle assist:-).
That was about 48 years ago. Since then I've been through a variety of bikes (about 17), usually the fastest I could get out the showroom. My slowest and lightest was that Zündapp, my fastest was a lowered, somewhat stretched and "Muzzy'd" ZX14... Best handling was my 2007 CBR 1000...My heaviest was a 2005 Goldwing... My most "interesting" is obviously the F6B... It gets more attention and generates more questions from others than any of my previous bikes. I very much enjoy this bike and don't miss the crotch rockets at this point. This one just might be my last.

..... is simply a chronological measurement of how long one has been on Earth. Happy & Healthy is the greater achievement of life and how many more miles are left on the odometer of life.

I was born in the first half of the last Century and doing mighty fine, gracias a Dios!

My son just graduated from Texas A&M and once wrote a term paper relative to the fact that when, "Dad was born there were no televisions, VCR's, DVD's, cell phones, laptops, iPads, iPhones ......What in the Hell did kids do?"

Thank God we have them now and we operate each from a switch on the handlebars!

Traded in a 2010 Harley Road Glide for the F6B in March 2013, NO regrets. I was looking for a sport tourer. I was thinking a
ZX14 and was going to add the hard Corbin bags. Then I came across photo of the F6B, never seen or heard of it before hand,
and loved it. Found a dealer that had one, went and sat on it and as they say, the rest is history. Sooo glad I seen that photo.

Owning more than 1 bike isn't as much fun as I thought it would be and this is the perfect way to make more space in my garage.

Owning more than 1 bike isn't as much fun as I thought it would be and this is the perfect way to make more space in my garage.

BTW, I just joined this forum and this is my first post.

Welcome aboard!

Ditto!!!
I, too, will be 58 in September.
Had been very happy with a VTX for the past 10 years, but loved the look of the F6B, and figured if I was ever going to switch, there was no point in waiting any longer.

66 years old here. Biking all my life and love it. F6B and loving it ! Haven't been on a wing since 04. Owned many throughout the years but finally got a lemon I guess. Too many problems to list and then I got a frame recall and that was it. Since the 04 wing, I went to Royal Stars, Harleys, and then to a used 05 Kawa 2000 LT.
I am glad to be back "HOME" on the F6B !!

Will be 27 in August. Rode v-twins since I was 15, and took my father's full wing out a few times and loved the handling but not the looks. F6 definitely solved that. I'm confident I could out-ride the young 'whippersnappers' on their "cool" bikes with my "Old"-Wing.

I have been reading the form for a while now. This is my first post. 20 year old brain 61 year old body. My first bike was a new 79 Honda CBX and what a great bike for its time. I believe the first 6 cylinder. Had her until 2003 (age 50) before I got rid of her. I now have a 750 shadow for the last 10 years. Rented the F6B for a week end and 557 miles and 2 days later WOW!!!. Will go and order mine this Saturday.

I'm 60 and love to carve up the corners but now my butt tells me I cant ride those bikes. So I've jumped of that cliff to the old fart stage. I test rode the F6B was impressed with how nimble this 850 lb bike is. It's no hot rod but I can still carve the corners with sparks flying. It will take some miles before I get use to this cruiser. I love the looks of the bike. 1100 miles so far.

I just turned 67 a couple of weeks ago and yesterday I purchased a lightly used 2013 F6B up in Quebec. I traded the dealer for my 2009 Harley Street Glide and rode the 420 miles home. It was a great comparison test. I rode the Harley there and rode the Honda home. I could not believe the difference. The Harley was more comfortable and I will miss the cruise but this F6B is a real pleasure to ride.

The Shadow is a cruiser, but the F6B really isn't. Honda officially calls it a bagger (hence the F6B designation), but it's just a Goldwing Tourer without the trunk and a few other accessories missing. It's funny because a lot of diehard Goldwing owners don't consider it a Wing even though it says so right on the dashboard. Same engine, same frame and most of the body parts are interchangeable. Yet it looks so much cooler, handles better and is faster than a regular Wing.:icon_cool:

Praise God, it doesn't get much better than that. Have put 9,000 on the f6 since I got it used in March. Best bike I have ridden. Good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise we both hope to ride a lot more miles. Stay safe all!

I ordered a '14 Black today over the phone and the money guy called me back to say that he's taken the $2,000 deposit out of the CC, so I'm not sure whether I'm an "owner" or not at the moment but will certainly be in the first fortnight of November when I collect it from the Dealer on the Gold Coast (Australia).

Bikes owned over the years -
Yam 175DT which I learnt to ride on.
Montessa Trials 247T
Suzi 550
H-D Road King
F6B

The biggest pleasure jump was going from the Monti to the Suzuki and I'm hoping that I'll have a similar experience going from the Road King to the F6B when my fillings stay in place.

I figured I would hear some ;tp; for saying "41" is old. Thanks for being kind about it. It's all good. I'm a firm believer in ride what you like. Even if you don't necessarily fit the intended marketing demographics... or do I?

It's always neat to meet new guys from different forums and to get a feel for the culture of the group.

So far, it's been fun and I've talked with some good people.

Off topic, but I went to my first bike night with my F6B. My observation. I'm too old for this $hit. I enjoy looking at different types of bikes and various customization, but I just want to ride. I think I've seen nearly every type of bike and most every after market accessory.

Is it a Goldwing thing or am I just becoming practical in my more mature years?

The F6B is not meant to be stationary. She'll make you "want to ride."
My take on the bike nights & bike shows are that they are for the "jack & polish" riders. As in polish the bike then :jerkit: to it.
I do not believe that 2 wheeled vehicles should be reduced to passive works of art by adding so much bling.
Having said that, I do own the Guggenheim "Art of the Motorcycle" book. But that's at another level.....

...roger that. Nothing against clean bikes. Nothing against some guy with a lot of coin looking to bling out his bike. But don't take offense when someone asks "how much for a girl, overnight?"
And? Let's not get started on the "creations" from American Chopper and the rest. Yeah, they're cool to look at for a few minutes and then, "next."

Now, if you put a blower on it? Or do something really technologically cool? Now you got my attention.

29 - my matte silver standard should be here in the next 5-10 days. can't wait!!:icon_mrgreen: rode one at the Hollister dealer last Thursday and bought mine on Friday, I just knew i wanted it. I had a 2001 kawi zr-7s with cortech saddlebags that fit a 6 pack perfectly along with my lanzar speaker setup, removed all the emission crap and re-jetted it. I miss my - what i called cruiser. The f6b was incredibly large looking when i arrived for my test ride, when the salesman hopped on to bring it out for me i noticed how effortless he brought it up to the 12:00 position. Sold the zr in 2010(with regret), bought a cbr600rr last august(hated,fast, still hated) - sold in april. I just know i don't want to hop around different bikes, i want to grow with one and be one with it, i confidently believe i'm there. Never was a harley fan:shhh:

Anybody near for a group ride - I'm down Yosemite?

I just turned 58 in June. I have owned the F6B for a week now and love it. I had a 91 ST1100 and have missed it since I sold it several years ago. The old ST was a little tall for me. The F6B is a lot like the ST just better for me in almost every way. Big Red and I plan to do a lot of happy miles together. Could not be happier at this point.

55 and just got my 3rd wing. First was a brand new 1981 when I was a young punk of 21. Got married a few years later and had to sell it. Second was a 1976 had for a few years and traded it towards a car we needed. Hopefully nothing similar will befall this one. :icon_rolleyes

First post and all. I picked up my new out of crate 2015 deluxe F6B in blue metallic on the 1st of this month. The progression has been Yamaha V-star classic --> 92 Goldwing --> Yamaha Roadstar --> Honda St-1300 and then I had a lapse of judgement and got married and sold the bike. Now that I am recently divorced and decided to dive back into the motorcycle world! I loved the look of the F6B so I bought one! I am 26!

54 and the proud owner of an F6B (black '13 model) for all of one week. Spent eight years on a VTX 1300R before this and several years with a Suzuki Volusia prior to that. Still getting to know my new ride . . . plan on making the owner's manual my new favourite 'book' over the next month or so.

When I told my friends I was buying a Goldwing all of them said.....And old fart guy bike laughing, (I'm 55 years young) since most of them are around 30's early 40's and, none of them knew about the F6.....Now, I noticed that some off them can not take the eyes out of her...LOL.
But, I see for this poll that the age of most us, owners range from early 40's up to 65's.
So, My question is; Is the f6 most appealing to middle age guys like us?
What you think?
Just curious......

For me the answer lies with the economy. Folks our age should/do have disposable incomes in which motorcycles, planes and boats can be purchased. Of course the F6B is a fantastic motorcycle, which you friends will be seeing the back of and at some point will want to be in front again!

Just picked up a leftover 2013 black standard model yesterday...currently 39, for about 13 more days. Started with a 1982 GS650 in June 2010, then a 2008 VStar 1100 , a 2004 VStar 1100 (my transition bike after crashing the '08), now the 6er....my oh my I feel like I'm in a different league now..,

I am 59 and after 25 years of being bikeless. I retired and bought myself a bike (Honda F6B) for a retirement gift to myself. I get giddy ever time I cock my leg over my BIG RED SEXY bike. Only thing that has change from the time at I rode when I was young too now. Is that I'm a lot more safer driver. I also took a rider safety course before I bought this bike. It was one of the best thing done. Keep your wheels on the ground and drive safe everybody. Big Red 1 :biker:

Not an owner yet, but hope to be next spring. By then I will be approaching 73! Some tell me that it's too heavy a bike for an old guy like me to handle, but right now I'm not having a problem with a 750 pound cruiser, how much harder can it be to handle the extra 90 pounds?

The low center of gravity on the F6B makes it very comfortable to get up and off the sidestand, hold upright when stopped etc. It feels lighter than the V-twins and even lighter than my old Valkyrie. I'm pushing 73, of average strength, and have only a 30 inch inseam. The bike is very manageable and inspires confidence. You'll feel comfortable and right at home on it. Enjoy.

After learning on a 550 four cyl when I was 15 circa 1980 I went dark on motorcycles aside from rentals in vacation spots until my 35th
birthday. I went Kawi 1500, lasted 2 yrs and then embraced the Harley Style as I was so impressed with the styling. After about 12 years on road king classic then Ultra Classic dresser ( and $$$$ in customs) I sold it for post divorce house. Three years with no bike, I decide forget the Harley style and try on something tried and true back to my Honda roots. At now 51 1/2 I no longer give a damn about how cool I am rather about the total riding experience. I pick up my new f6b in 10 days.

I loved it when I pulled away from my buddy on his Indian. He hates the idea I'm on a Honda. They all think it's a slow tourer. I'll be 60 at rally time.

Congrats!! I'm a bit past 42 years old, and picking up my bike today. I admit, some of my Harley-riding friends are giving me a hard time about buying an "old man's bike." Too bad they won't be able to see my big ol smile from behind me. :icon_biggrin:
