Lov my F6B

[Heavvyduty]

Just lov my New F6B, But I'm lucky enough to have kept my Yam Stratoliner also, Witch is also a great bike.The F6B I can ride all day an just eat up the mile's.The Strat is great for in town an short ride's now.Plus you get the cool factor with the strat... v-twin .
I Would keep F6B over my Strat.. Saying that.
How Many of you mis your V-twin's. Just for sh##'s an giggle's?

I have posted a few times here, that I miss my Harley. Had a '10 Deluxe, before that '07 RG. I'm watching for a Fat Bob now to go with F6B.
Life is too short for one bike...

[Cool Hand Luke]

I agree with you! My F6B is my primary ride, it is just so comfortable and reliable. I don't worry about if I'm going to have any mechanical issues along the way. I just sit on and ride. That feeling is priceless!

Sometimes, though, I'm in the mood for a different ride. For that I also enjoy my Harley VRSCF Muscle. This is not your usual HD. It is rated at 125 HP and 86 ft/pounds of torque. It is water cooled. Fast and smooth and also reliable, but weighs about 670 lbs. (mine must be more due to fairing and bags but I don't know exact weight).

Here is me on it during Memorial Day Weekend up on The Dragon in NC and TN:

So now I have TWO bikes that I am usually asked while stopped "What is that?" :icon_biggrin:

[Scotrod]

The old 113 really was a kick in the azz when ya cracked the wick at ~2500~ rpm! I believe it was 127 ft lbs at the crank, or something like that,,, :yes:

I believe my 09 Stratoliner had a bit smoother riding chassis as well,,,

Noisy, hot, lacking HP compared to the 6, but still a nice bike! (Lost mine in an accident. :icon_frown: )

[GiddyupF6B]

I had a M109R that I put a lot of time and $$$ into and I miss it a lot. If I could have kept both I would've. I miss the V-twins rumble with brutal power and torque. Mine was around 120whp & 115ftq, it was a beast! Here is a pic..

With that being said I wouldn't trade my F6B for anything else on the market right now. I have spent the last year and a ton of dough getting my F6B aka "Darth" exactly suited to my tastes and comfort. This is the best bike I've owned to date. I've owned 4 other bikes, 3 crotch rockets and the 109 but this F6B is exactly what I need for my riding style now ....

still have a twin 1984 HD Softail, wife hates it though

[CheckpointChcky]

I do miss my Yamaha Road Star.....one of the best bikes I've ever owned. Like driving a Cadillac down the road.

[luckyluciano]

I still have my VTX 1800. Just drove it. It feels and looks OLD next to my "6".
Test drove the 2014 ZX14 last week.
Man, that bike is fun and scary at the same time. When I drove off on my "6" it felt so smooth and comfortable and refined next to the zx.

All my V-Twins

[Scotrod]

[QUOTE=Heavvyduty}All my V-Twins[/QUOTE]

I had a Spec 1 06 1800 C w/ flames and then 09 Strat in Blue w/Deluxe bags-Mem Shades batwing painted to match,,, I miss the Strat more than the VTX, but REALLY like the 6!

[SmallPasture]

Can't say enough about the Dream Machine (F6B). Picked mine up 3 weeks ago and have had perma-grin ever since.

Never owned a V-twin but I did have the learning experience of ridding a 96' Ultra Classic/Electo glide (father in-laws) from Houston to Amarillo and back in August one year. That was by far the loudest/butt numbing-est/hottest ride I have ever taken in my 20+ years of ridding.

I did trade in my mid-life crisis for my new Bumble-bee:

This 2010 Kawasaki Concourse 14 was the mid-life crisis...and it will scare the crap outta ya!

You have one beautiful yellow bike!

[richw56]

I had a VTX 1300C with Ultimate seats.
Had the bike for ten years, and really loved it.
I miss it, and knew that I would.
But I picked up my yellow 6 a couple of weeks ago.
I struggled with the idea of keeping the VTX versus trading it in - in the end, I figured that I probably just wouldn't be likely to make enough time for the VTX while I had a 6 sitting next to it in the garage, so I traded the VTX in as part of the deal.
I have nothing but great memories of the VTX.
Now it's time to make some new great memories with the F6B!

Just lov my New F6B, But I'm lucky enough to have kept my Yam Stratoliner also, Witch is also a great bike.The F6B I can ride all day an just eat up the mile's.The Strat is great for in town an short ride's now.Plus you get the cool factor with the strat... v-twin .

Just sold my '97 Valk and '05 Rune. Love the Rune, but hard to justify keeping a $18k bike just to look at or keep as a collector.

[RickW]

I still like my V-Twin, a Kawasaki VN 2000 (http://www.valueaccessories.net/VN2000/VN%202000.htm).

Hey Rich, its Mark from the old club. Hope youre well. Got my f6b last November and love it.

[rumble-b]

I've still got my customised 2010 V Star 1300 and we have my wifes 2011 883 Sporty. As much as i like the 1300, the F6B is a whole different level of motorcycle.

Any type of long trip or even when it's cold out the F6B is the way to go and the other bike stays in the shop.

I have a VTX1300S that I've been riding for 11 years. I was happy with it, but wanted a better long distance ride. I saw the F6B last year and never looked elsewhere.
Thought I would keep the VTX, but my new yellow F6B makes it feel like a wind-up toy. (I need a smilie for that).
The VTX is currently for sale on CraigsList.

:shock: :icon_laugh:

As a former 1800 "X" rider, we would occasionally give the 1300 guys a little grief,,, :poke: but we never called 'em "wind up toys!!!" :crackup:

I had never thought of it like that before, but this new Wing has spoiled me. 'riding'
