Almost NO one knows F6B, "Honda" sounds imprecise and generic, I usually say "a stripped down Goldwing" but that is kinda odd sounding...sometimes I say a big cruiser that isn't a Harley" but what's my point in saying that- it sounds spiteful...anyway what are some more civil, yet descriptive answers??

Stripped down fast Gold Wing is the most descriptive and the one I tend to use more often.

I usually say it's a "Honda flat Six Bagger" and if pressed for more then "based on the Goldwing platform" and if they want more info I just smile and say "visit your Honda dealer".:icon_lol:

I had a Harley guy this weekend ask if we could trade bikes for a few miles. I told him-
"No, you won't want to give it back!" :icon_mrgreen:

I say about the same. I'll tell them it's the Bagger version of the GoldWing, sans trunk and some other bits. I usually explain they have 3 models the Goldwing, the F6B (bagger) and the Valkryie or F6C for Cruiser. Mainly cause I have all 3 lol.

I tell them, "F6B Honda". When I get the "deer in the rear lights" look, I add Gold Wing.😎

Usually followed by "That's a Gold Wing?" and a look of wonderment.

It is weird that I feel obligated to tell everyone how great a bike it really is. It's like I know they will never believe me.

It's a Goldwing guys. Full stop. That speaks for itself.
Personally I've always thought it should be in the ST class, but that's just me. I don't give a shit about what anybody thinks it looks like, nor do I defend it.
The curious will have to pull money out of their own tight pockets to find out how it rides.

Assuming they cannot read the badges, I go with:
"Gentleman's sport bike"
"Heavy cruiser"

Stopped at a store today , one guy almost tripped looking at the bike and came over and asked what it was, he said is that a Goldwing? I said yes w/o the pizza box... it said it was beautiful !!!!! Came out of the store and saw someone taking a pic thru the front windshield of their car...to funny !

For people that are in to bikes I tell them it is a big ass sport tourer........in my mind from my perspective that says it all.
For folk that aren't really into bikes I just say it is a stripped down Goldwing......no way to explain it ti the uninitiated so I try to steer clear of those conversations.
