Over 1100 F6B owners, responded to the poll, over the past few years. Wonder how many are still owners. I know some have switched to the new Goldwing.

I've still got mine.
a 2013, 6 years old next month.
Just turned 60 on the 13th of this month and my(14) F6B arrived on the 14th. Went on a 200 mile ride after the rain cleared on Sat. and rode with a Big smile! Currently have a couple Valkyrie's 98 Tourer and 00 IS. I hope the Phat Gyrls don't get too upset with me! :o
I just turned 56. I've had my B since 2013, bought it new, and still love it :o
56 years old, just bought my first Goldwing F6B, 2014 Deluxe.
I'll be 67 next week. I got my Black 2013 Deluxe early this past August with 16000 miles on it. I have several other bikes including a 1975 Red GL1000 that I bought new and a 1981 GL1100 I bought used in 2010. When I got the F6B it had a car tire on the rear. Took almost 48 hours to get it off and it will never go back on. Tire mileage versus handling and safety just isn't worth it. The bike wouldn't turn a corner at low city speeds. Try and try and then it would climb up on the curve of the sidewall and suddenly turn. Not fun! Put a Bridgestone on it- now it's FUN!
55 in march
Hitting 78 this year, that's not MPH!
Did a cross country last year from Cleveland, Oh to LA and back. Was planning to do Alaska this summer but resent feedback indicated that there is a lot of "off road" gravel pit type of riding which I do not want to do with my F6B. I will stick to the paved stuff and wind my way to Washington and back this year.
Turned 50 in January. Waiting on delivery of my 2015 F6B deluxe
I’m 63 now and still a hanging on to mine. Two bike accidents have put a damper on my riding. Waiting to see how I feel this Spring.
55 years old. Bought myself a new to me 2016 Deluxe. Been riding for 32 years. By far the best motorcycle I’ve ever owned. What a beast
This thread was started in 2013. Has the chart been updated to reflect current ages of riders? Does it update automatically each year to reflect age of riders?
Just wondering how accurate it is in 2020.
The "poll" is simply a total of all votes since it was started. Voters must be member of the Forum and can only enter a "vote" once.
I'll turn 74 next month. I've always said that I would ride into my 70's but recently changed that to 80's. I first saw an F6B about two years ago and knew that I would eventually have one. I finally found exactly what I was looking for 385 miles away on E-bay. I made the offer that same day, got an acceptance and before the sun went down I had my motorcycle trailer hooked up and was on my way. After my first ride on the B I put my Valkyrie on Craigslist. I loved that Valkyrie and put over 40,000 miles on it, but this B is everything the Valkyrie was and more. With the addition of the Madstat windshield that I installed yesterday this bike is perfect.
It would be interesting to see how many have kept their F6B over the past 7 years and what age group they are in today today. I am 65 and soon will move into the 66-70 age group. Wondering if the percentages in age groups have changed much.
I'm turning 66 this year, still riding my 2015, and plan to for many more years. Hope to see a big group at this years rally, in Franklin!
I am 33 and riding from last 15 yrs. Just bought my 2015 F6B bagger .... traded my Yamaha raider ... also have a 2017 Honda CBR 1000RR
Finally decided after putting 70k+ miles on my '02 Valk to move up to a "B". I've put 44k+ miles on my 2015 B and enjoyed every minute of it!
I'll be 78 this June and hope to make the "West Gathering" again this year.
Really enjoyed the Cortez roundup in 2018.
I'm gonna be 63 in June, hope to put as many miles as my *#@&€*# back will allow on my 13 f6b.
Coming up on 78 in Sept. Hope to keep riding for a few more years.
62 and dividing up my time with my two rides. Renegade is my 98 Valkyrie, love her and will never get rid of her. Taking it to my 5th InZane this June. InZane 2022 in Billings. I love my B = Stinger and ride it often different ride and love it. Not planning to stop love my wind therapy! :cool:
32. started riding dirtbikes about 20 years ago and been riding on the road (legally) since 18. always had honda's. picked up my f6b last friday and rode it 850 miles home. looking forward to many years and memories with this bike.
I turn 40 in a couple months, started riding about 9 years ago....in those 9 years I've put just under 200,000 miles on bikes and I hope to put on hundreds of thousands more in the coming years.
68 and still riding
still alive got to be happy
59. Bought my first bike in 2008. It was a Honda shadow aero 750. Put 30k on that bike, rode it back and forth across the country. I have t ridden it much n the last few years because it beat me up. So I moved up to a bigger more comfortable ride. If I’d have done those rides on this bike, it would have been a much nicer ride. Most of those rides were just endurance rides trying to hang that little 750 with wings riding 80. I remember flying up a mountainside hanging off the right side trying to get more out of the throttle. This new guy has all the throttle I need.
76. My first bike was a Honda 305 Superhawk in 1964. It was my only means of transportation for about 3 years. I believe I had it about a year before installing the 350 kit. My riding partners were a Harley Sportster and a Triumph Trophy. I had no trouble keeping up with both of them, plus I had reliability and didn't leak oil. I've had various bikes over the years, but really like the Honda Opposed engine and I've had a 1984 Goldwing and a Valkyrie. I've also had both a V45 and V65 Magna, both were sweet running beasts. But this F6B is the smoothest, sweetest most comfortable bike that I've owned.
I'll be 70 in 2023. Had a lot of bikes but the F6b is by far the best.
My Harley got great mileage. 150 Decibels to a drop of gas!
But I'm really liking my Burgman lately.
If I decide to sell the B this spring, I'll list it here first.
I'm turning 70 in April and I ride a F6B deluxe. Best bike ever owned!!!!
