Attachment 7318Excellent bike but I made the mistake of test riding a black F6B....bye bye Triumph
Came from a 2004 Kawasaki Mean Streak.
I traded an '09 Silverwing for a carryover black '13 F6B
Just bought a 2013 Red F6B Deluxe. Traded in a 2010 Honda VFR1200.
It was a fantastic bike and would do anything asked of it. It never surprised me or performed less than flawlessly, but it made me a more aggressive and dangerous rider. It wasn't really happy unless it was accelerating or banked over into a deep corner. Also, I'm getting a little old to crouch on top of the thing like a gargoyle for more than a couple of hours at a stretch so it was time to let it go. Couldn't carry much either. Looking forward to some practical luxury.
Liking the FB6 so far. Getting used to the much longer wheelbase. She's a big girl.
Ready for my windshield to get here.
Peace, ya'll!
I traded in my 2013 Harley Road Glide Custom and a $1000 and rode out on the F6B.
Will be selling my 1150 Rt which has done 125,000 km in 4 years, hope the F6B can keep up, pretty sure it will.

Sold a KTM ADVENTURE 1190S and a SH300abs (adding 6000€) and purchase a black F6B...
Traded a 2010 Can Am Spyder RT-S to get my F6B, best thing I've done in years !
I absolutely LOVE IT :icon_biggrin:
Keeping the 'nad but no comparison to my new effsixbee! I'm in Canada, but took delivery in Mesa, Az yesterday. My Nomad has served me well over the last nine years but this F6Beast is amazing!
I am so looking foward to...
1. Retirement in one month (more time on the Honda)
2. Winters in Arizona (On my Honda)
3. Summers in Canada (Riding my Honda)
The last bike was a 2003 H-D Road King Classic and I swore I'd never get another heavy bike again......but, I was using it primarily as a daily commuter in city peak hour traffic, which was a tad silly.
Then Mr. Honda brought out the F6B and the rest is history. The moment I first sat on one and took the weight I knew it wasn't like the H-D and the deal was done 2 days later. (2014 Black) All of the Australian Dealers had runouts on 2013 Red for AUD $19,990 ride away, which all got snapped up, but I did have my heart set on that black and that's what I've got, or at least will have as soon as they get it out of the box. Can't wait to hit the highways and byways of South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales.....and Central New South Wales....and Southern New South Wales....
