Hello! New F6B owner in Ohio

[Buckeye_F6B]

Hello all. New owner of a used 2013 F6B Deluxe with 3k miles. Of course after I bought it it decides to rain everyday for the past week.:icon_frown:

So far I love it. I added a power port and Grip puppies so far. It has a larger windscreen and LED fog lights.

Welcome to the forum. Looks like you have a custom paint job too? Is that silver or white? Great bike. Many things to learn here. One of the best bike forums on the net. Enjoy your B.

Welcome to the forum

That is not a stock F6B Color.

Black or Red were the only options in 2013.

Honda of Russellville or the previous owner changed the color on that bike.

'welcome gang' welcome fellow newbie :039:

[Jimmytee]

.welcome20. Welcome. Yep you got a custom paint job right there.

Welcome from up north in Central Ohio! I lived in Hamilton, OH for a few years, miss the area. Enjoy your sweet ride!

Oh I thought they made Silver ones. That's pretty cool info. Thanks. Is this what you were referring too? I'll have to look into it since I need touch up paint for 2 tiny rock chips.

Since I don't even know that the paint on mine isn't stock I was wondering if the horn is stock. Mine sounds like a 1970's Buick. Do the stock ones sound like motorcycle horns or car horns? I like the one I have. It's pretty loud.

Most likely, your car-sounding horn is stock. That's one of the many nice surprises about the "B". And BTW, .welcome20. from NC :039:

[Geronimo]

Welcome from Columbus here. I have a standard red, in the shop right now, laid it down last month. Cant wait to get it back, and yeah the horn is a loud ass car horn.

.welcome20. Nice bike!

[Circle-5]

Welcome and congratulations on the custom glossy silver. I caught a glimpse of a glossy silver F6B recently and it looked stunning (even if it's a bit slower than the red ...)

[Buckeye_F6B]

2,926 days since Michigan beat Ohio State in football ;)

It is in all good fun. I can't wait for Football season to start. Go Big Ten !

Welcome from Columbus here. I have a standard red, in the shop right now, laid it down last month. Cant wait to get it back, and yeah the horn is a loud ass car horn.

Geronimo, I live on the West Side , is that possibly you I have occasion of seeing cruising on West Broad outside of 270 ? / Don't have a "B" yet ! but have heard comment many times about the automotive style horn on the Wing. I think late model Hondas in general just have very functional mirrors. My NT mirrors are just basic plastic swing out mirrors on plastic stalks , very good vision & low vibration . Mirrors on the VFR 1200 are probably the best I've experienced on a bike . Not the largest but shape is very user friendly, great visibility and vibration free . I think I can read license plates at 100 mph .

[lawnguy]

Can you PLEASE tell me how the f6b compares to the harley ultra?

[Wing'n it]

Welcome Ohio rider! I'm just north of you and always down your way riding the river area on both sides, great riding down that way.

[Crazyhorse]

Nice bike. Welcome.

[Buckeye_F6B]

Can you PLEASE tell me how the f6b compares to the harley ultra?

Hey lawnguy! I just replied in your thread. I liked both but I like the F6B more. I just never felt comfortable on HD. It felt like a big bike and I didn't have a lot of confidence on curves. I think it had to do with seating position. The 6 feels like a smaller more nimble bike.

[sabre85]

Hey Buck, I live in Cincy, Delhi. Maybe we can hook up for a ride.
