I traded this one in today. I loved the VTX and planned to keep it forever.....until the F6B caught my eye and I couldn't look away.

Fury chopper this is a picture of it as I bought it. Was nice & low after I had my knee replaced.
I don't have an F6B yet but soon I will trade my 2012 650 VSTROM. Before that was 03Drz, 04sv650, 98 Road Glide 92Fxdwg something or other lol. 2 zx6 Kawasaki's and about a dozen more I can't name right now.
Don't own a F6B yet, plan to get one after my hip replacement. Current bikes are a 2011 Multistrada S Touring and a 2007 VFR800. Previous bike was a 1983 Honda VT700. I'll keep the VFR and trade in the Ducati. It's got a lot of positives but I've just come to find that tall-rounders are not for me, and given that long distance touring is my favorite activity I am looking for something with grade-A comfort and weather protection, but the full-on Wing has more than I really need in terms of features, weight and storage. The F6B looks about perfect!
My Bike Stable over the years:
1968 Honda CB350 Twin (First street bike - bought as a basket case and re-assembled/restored)
1976 Honda CB550F
1978 Honda CB500 Twin
1985 Honda V65 Sabre
2001 Honda Valkyrie Interstate
2010 Can-Am Spyder RT-S (Traded in for new F6B)
2011 Suzuki Hayabusa (Still have and love - for my more youthful moments!)
2013 Honda F6B - Besides the Busa, the best bike I have ever owned!!!
And finally, I have money down on a 2014 Elio Trike! :shhh:
1975 Kawasaki 500 2-stroke triple, 1980 Honda CB750F, and currently own a 1982 Honda CB900F. And if Miles is correct that the F6B is a one year only bike, I'll find a way to get one. As a matter of fact, I looked at a black one today at a dealer in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Not a F6B owner " Yet " I have rode one and love how it rode. I own ( 3 1/2 ) Valkyrie's one is a total I bought from a insurance company that bike is all over my garage in pieces and parts .

Rode Solo Motors on Hardly Ablesons of questionable heritage and deteriorating rode worthiness. Had 3 H-D FXPOS's: rode one; fixed one & kicked the crap outta the other one when I got off duty. Sort of a 'whipping boy' bike. Finally issued the great

Still have my Rocket 3 Roadster. It's good to have choices
Hi guys, just joined the forum; this is as good a place as any to introduce myself, I suppose!
"Previous" is kinda a weird word for me, since I'm one of those weird hoarder-types. The idea of SELLING a motorcycle is tantamount to blasphemy for me; I've sold a few over the years but always regretted it.
So, my stable includes, in no particular order:
1929 Harley-Davidson JD (almost finished restoration)
1931 Harley-Davidson VL (I ride this one a lot)
1935 Harley-Davidson VL hillclimber
1972 Honda Mini Trail
1977 Honda GL1000 (working on twin-turbo setup on this one)
'70s (unsure) Jawa Speedway bike
And, as of TOMORROW, a 2013 F6B Deluxe!
I've been riding since I was eight, just getting ready to turn 42. I love all bikes and feel that each and every bike has its place in the world.. though sportbikes have never been my style. Although the RD400 I had in college was fun.. sold that one and have kicked myself ever since.
Previously owned 3 other Hondas, GL1800, St1300 and VTX1300. All great bikes. Like this one best of all!

I have owned my 2013 Black Deluxe F6B for 3 weeks and have no doubt this is the best bike I have ever owned...and can't imagine buying another motorcycle. I have been riding for 30 years (I'm 48). I was thinking of buying another HD and rented a 2013 Electra Glide this summer (sold the last bike a couple years ago). It felt like it was going to fall apart, wobbly, high center of gravity, everything seemed loose (brakes, clutch, suspension, steering, etc.) Maybe because it was a rental and had been rode hard, but if I recall it only had about 8,000 miles on it. My wife didn't enjoy it at all (probably because I didn't feel very secure on it myself), but after a short ride last week on the F6B she said it was her favorite of all of them.
If you are on the fence....jump down and go buy that F6B.
About 20% former H-D owners, and it looks like the overwhelming majority of you are or were cruiser owners... Honda got something right in terms of how it packaged this bike.
Then there's guys like me who are the sport-touring types who wanted something with better comfort and weather protection (with an aftermarket screen of course) along with the great looks.
I think this bike is a really sweet package, I hope it's around for a long time.

2000 Shadow Ace Tourer. It was a great bike but when I saw the F6B, that was it. I picked her up yesterday from Shroader's Honda in Hendersonville, NC and have been getting acquainted with her since. They were very nice. I got a 2013 standard model for $16817 out the door with 0 miles. No complaints.
Now i need to figuring out what I want to do to her.

BMW R1150RT. This is a great and very refined motorcycle but the stock seat is to small and hard and has a relatively short wheelbase. It loves the highway, and its sweet spot is 6th gear and 75mph.
Ive owned quite a few. The last 15 years has been the endless search for the perfect bike that does it all. IMO, it doesn't exist but the F6B is the closest thing to perfection that Ive found. Big, fast, smooth, great handling, perfectly balanced, comfortable, customizable, good wind and weather protection, cargo and towing capacity, doesn't even notice when the wife is on back, does everything I ask of it - and ultimately a very sexy bike that all the girls seem to love. She gets good long looks everywhere we go.

Hey Smoking Joe, I recognized your bike from the Valkyrie boards. I sold my Valk a few years ago I was offerred way way more than what it was worth. Now on a RoadGlide but hope to do some more serious trading discussions with a local dealer and local owner next week. The dealer would be the easiest as I will have to sale the Road Glide but the individual I really like what he has done to his bike and its almost new.
Momma went out of town this week, ...When the cats away the mice will play.
