Some Input on New Purchase of a 2014 F6B Deluxe???

[Batt13]

I recently own a HD 2002 Roadking & 2012 Softail Heritage Classic. I am looking into buying a 2014 F6B Deluxe in Black and will trade the 2012 softail as part of the deal. Their bottom price is $18,600.00. I would like to know if that is a fair price?? and if there are HD riders who have made the switch to theF6B and their input??? This is a tough one for me so input is important and appreciated!!!

I have seen 2014 Deluxe models for $16K to $17.5 K at several locations. Plus dealer prep, taxes etc.. I am getting close to buying myself and was hoping to see $15.5 before buying.

Is that an out the door cost? What are they charging for the F6?? Yes there are quite a few who have made the switch !!!!
We need the price of the bike alone...

Traded my 09 SG for an f6. No regrets, few rides on the Honda and you'll wonder why you didn't do this in '13. Best advice, take a look at Cycle Trader and print out the best deals you find nationally. Will give you room to sticker dicker and pretty much got me where I wanted with the price even if a few salesmen threw fits and had to be carried off the showroom floor. Honda of Chattanooga had the best prices nationally as I recall and used them for my bottom line comp. If you can wait, sell it yourself, some dealers will handle the transfer of title for a few bucks, possibly offer finance to the new buyer, you will probably see an extra couple grand if you sell it yourself. The only thing you won't like about the f6 is the paint, it goes to crap in months and comes nowhere near the quality of the MoCo's painting process. I'm not sure about a black one, get a bunch of f6 riders together and suddenly your in a pack of black, bit of a passé pose. But winter is the time to deal, since this is when dealers are hungry and are more inclined to eat their offspring. I would get the deluxe, those heated grips and center stand are well worth it alone. Take your offer to a few dealers, you should expect an extended warranty at cost and a standing discount on parts out of it. The only downside I foresee, is waiting at intersections for your Harley buds to catch up with you. Enjoy my friend.

How much just for the bike....taxes vary state to state so the bike price is all we could really give advice on...here locally the price is around the 16500 mark for a Delux...do a internet search and go for a ride!!!

I actually had a 2012 Heritage Softail and got rid of it for my F6B. I also previously owned a Road King. I bought a leftover 2013 F6B so my price was much lower than yours. I would recommend looking for a leftover 2013 since they are still around and can be had for around $15K, sometimes even less.

As for the switch from my Heritage to the F6B it was the best motorcycle related decision I've ever made. I absolutely love the F6B and don't miss the Harley at all. The F6B handles way better, has significantly more power and offers incredible wind protection. I just needed to get the F6B to fit me right and by adding a Mustang seat, Vstream windshield and Helibars I'm as comfortable as I need to be.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

Out the door $18,600 plus tax

:bendover: does that deal come with vaseline ? :shock:

$2000 over what I have seen from our Website Sponsor .... Honda of Russellville

[JackB]

I just saw a 2013 for $14,300 with no fees or set up in Wis red or black, they were not deluxe's.

[F6B1911]

In my area there a a few more left over new non-deluxe 2013's going for $15,898.00

[Spanky]

Standard $16200 out the door plus 1000 in honda gear

I have had a V-Rod, Screamin Eagle Fat Boy, and Road King Custom. I purchased my '13 F6B Deluxe for $13,999 Bartlesville Cycle Sports in Bartlesville, OK. They also happen to be a HD dealer as well. The F6b is an amazing bike even when compared to the HD. It is much smoother, faster, corners better, and is more comfortable and easier to drive than any of the HD's I've had. The downside....the paint and you will notice that Honda sometimes uses plastic for some of its smaller bits and parts whereas HD will make them out of metal/chrome so they can charge you another "HD" ($100).

Couldn't agree more! Harley wins in the paint and chrome department all day long. .batman-smilie. Power, handling, reliability and comfort all go to Honda.

Not a bad price if they offer $18.600 OTD...and your satisfied with what they are offering on your HD Softail..I traded a Victory Vision in on my 2013 Deluxe and got a really fair trade so I cannot address what the 'HD is worth...In any event, you will not go wrong with the F6B and will wonder why you waited so long...If your okay with the dealer, and the deal, it really does not matter what others feel is a better deal as someone will post what they think is better...Follow your heart and all with be well.....

Coming off a Street Glide the F6B is a totally different machine.

As far as ride you will not miss either of your H-D's.

Miss that classic rumble at times but find I'm enjoying the quiet smoothness more and more with every ride.

[zzh54]

I came off an ultra classic, and by far this is the best idea I had in a long time. I've had my 6 for about 3 months and put the miles that I normally put in a year on the bike. I still have an older fat boy, but that gets out less and less. I don't think you would be sorry for the change, just the power is enough to keep you on your toes. I am completely happy with the change.

Everybody should own or ride a Harley at LEAST once in their lives... but for day-in, day-out, long-haul, and sport riding... the F6 can't be beat.

The paint issue is not that it looks bad... it's that there's no clearcoat and so some of the paint comes off when buffing. People here are big on Liquid Glass to protect the paint. I used OptiCoat 2.0... which is essentially a DIY clear coat.

I sold my 2011 Road Glide Ultra after a sweet ride , my third to Sturgis, from East coast of Florida. I'll never look Back, 4 quarts of oil and a filter every 10k, I use Amsoill 20/50, so much easier then 3 seperate oil changes on Harley. I have has 3 Gold Wings but they were top heavy and I'm 65 now, I have a Kawasaki Z1000 sit up sport bike when I feel like scaring my self, but I love my F6B.
added Satellite Radio and I'm off to EVERY WHERE !!!!! 129 here I come !!!!!NE Georgia is a great starting place to ride for ever !

Never owned one, but drove a few. A mid-90's Electra-Glide. What a dog. Twisting the throttle only made it louder, not go faster.
Then a '13 ElectraGlide Ultra Classic or something like that, with Stage 1 pipes, intake, etc. It went a little faster, was a little louder, but same old, same old. That is what convinced me to try a 'B. Never looked back.

Traded in a 2012 Softail on my 2013 F6B in May of this year. Got 14K for the HD and paid 14999.00 for the Honda. Out of pocket was a grand plus a couple of parts I wanted. Great bike. Mine is yellow and haven't had any paint issues. I put a little over 10,000 miles on since I got it and couldn't be happier.

[mundo]

Still kept my road glide but the f6b is no comparison --18k is a good price for what you get but don't look too long your missing out on the ride

[srt8-in-largo]

I paid about $18,600 out the door for my 2013 standard in June... and it was a demo with 200 miles on it.

So the same price for a 2014 deluxe isn't terrible. If you want to do the legwork and deal with the shipping and/or travel costs of a remote purchase, I'm sure a better deal can be had, but I just didn't want to go through all that. Plus buying locally establishes a dealer relationship and I liked that idea.

[Batt13]

Tks for the input. Going to see a 2013 F6B Deluxe in red at a HD Dealership asking $14,900 with 2900 miles. Will take it for a test ride maybee able to swing a trade in with the 2012 HD Softail????

[Watchdog]

That's about right for around here. You going to mavrix or moroneys? I picked mine up from mavrix in July. Hope to see you around. I'm always up in your area. Can't stand riding in rockland county. I have yet to see another f6b on the road. Mines a fast yellow one.

[Watchdog]

Didn't see your last post. Sounds like your going to moroneys. Never dealt with their honda dealer but bought 2 Harley's from them. Can usually get a good deal from them this time of year. I know the Harley's re usually $1000 to $1500 off the marked price this time of year.

Actually, took the F6B out from O'Tooles HD it was a 2013 with 2,900 miles. It rode smooth & fast, but still could not make the deal can't part with my Softail Heritage for now maybee in the future. It really was a hard decision to make.

[Watchdog]

Yeah I can understand that. I traded in a 2011 roadglide ultra. Wish I could have kept both. I bought a Electra Gide trike conversion from otoole's many years ago. Good luck on any decision you make. Hope to see you on a f6 someday.
