Hello F6B Riders! I signed up a couple weeks ago, making my intro today. This is my first Honda and I'm very pleased with it. Before the F6B I had a 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 900, a 2005 Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 and just recently I sold my 2013 Triumph Rocket 3 Roadster. (If you've never had the opportunity to experience a Rocket I would recommend riding one at least once. It's an extraordinary motorbike.) I had every intention on switching to a Rocket 3 Touring model, but somewhere in my search I came across the F6B, looked a bit longer than I should have perhaps, and now I own a 2015 matte grey Deluxe. I added an Ultimate seat and backrest. The dealership added a Klock Werks 14" tinted windscreen, so I have a bit more wind protection. So far I'm really liking the cruise control and the stereo. Looking forward to many happy miles with this bike.

.welcome20., TommyB, from NC :039: As a previous R3 owner, I know what you mean about experiencing a Rocket. Seriously, the ONLY thing I miss from my R3 is that awesome 3-cylinder motor. Mine was tuned for 150 HP. Tremendous power plant! That said, with your new F6B, I doubt you'll be looking back too much.

Rocket III is an awesome machine, not as graceful as our F6Bs IMHO

From the great state of Michigan, and of course you chose the fastest color, my matte silver 2015 deluxe will get out of anybodys way. Oh by the way Check the final drive oil, the dealers have been skipping that, mine was 3 ounces low and its only a 4 ounce reservoir.

Welcome also, but you know what's funny....I have the same bike, standard, and I don't use the cruise or even the radio. I just did a trip to PA and back and didn't touch either. Different strokes I guess! It's an awesome highway machine. There can't be much to compare it to.

Thanks for warm welcome fellas. @Hornblower..yep, I'll miss that inline triple, too. @53driver..Yeah, I've been following the 2016 rally thread, looks to be an awesome turn out. From what I hear/read Arkansas has many great roads and beautiful scenery.

Thanks, I checked final drive oil level and found it was a couple ounces low, so I added enough to bring it up to the appropriate level
