Can we make this a sticky? It could help get fellow owners who are local to each other together.
I saw a black deluxe headed south bound on 17 in NC headed towards Elizabeth City, anyone on here?

I have not seen another F6B on the road here in Phoenix.
June 29th I took a detour to Crater Lake from Highway 138 on my way to Trinidad Cal. I saw another red F6B on the Crater Lake north Hwy going the opposite direction. Anybody from this forum? Btw, the bike performed superbly on my trip from Boise to San Francisco to Las Vegas and back. The luggage I had worked great and stayed put very well. A lot of riding but a great trip. :icon_biggrin:
I saw a black one on I-17 like a month ago and I gave him the thumbs up. I also saw the same guy (I think) at the gas station in Sun City Festival a few weeks ago. Before I got mine. The bike had a tall windshield added with the vent. Might that be you? I didn't get a chance to chat with the rider.
Hardin County, Ohio. I would like to see that change, so I'm keeping my eyes open.
I live just south of the IL / WI border, Harley Country. Although my local dealer has sold 10 of these I have yet to see another one on the road which doesn't bother me a bit. I feel somewhat exclusive. Everywhere I go a crowd appears to talk. Good weather finally around here and yesterday I saw a flat track race in Elkorn Wi. What a hoot !!!
Just did a round trip from NC to Southern NJ, I did not see a single one. Being voted the MOTY and all you would thing they would be all over the place...
Rode from Ga to Ohio and back last week. Didn't see any. Seen a black one at cracker barrel in faiburn Ga a month ago.
I saw 4 F6Bs at the Hollister Rally this weekend. One red and the rest were black. One standard and three deluxe....if you count mine that would be 5 F6Bs and 4 blacks and 2 standards.
Had a great day in Hollister at the Independence Rally. :icon_smflag:
I will post a few picks. I only saw one other F6B. But I was only there on the 5th. Great Rally Great Bike! :biker:
I traveled to two dealerships in my area (Lancaster, pa.)yesterday, and the first was knocking $3,000 right off the top and the second hasn't sold ONE yet. And I still have not seen one on the road? I am holding out for the 2014, just to see if they have any added features. I guess it's the economy stupid?
I bought my black deluxe on Wed 6-12, rode it to work on Friday 6-14, got a lot of questions about it of course, pulled up Monday 6-17 and there is one identical to mine in the parking lot. My boss liked mine so much he went out and bought one. Guess I dont get to be special anymore. Oh well

Spotted a Black Deluxe going north on 165 in Monroe La.
First one I have seen on the road. Had a tall clear windshield.
Saw a red F6B in Prattsville, NY Sunday afternoon.
anyone on this forum?
From ATL but went up to my lake house today in Glenville, NC and I saw a Black F6B by the lake on HWY 107. Looked like it was going to go south towards Cashiers.........not a good day to be on a bike or at the lake, was raining like heck!
I saw 2 black deluxe at Starbucks in Bonney Lake, WA......but it was just me and Miles BS'n :icon_mrgreen:
On 3rd week of July on the Las Vegas Blvd, and again on Hwy 215 NB, a day apart. Same one? This was before I knew what the heck it was!
Must have been you Dark Knight :cheers:
I rode into NC and TN Smoky Mountains area a week and a half ago and no sightings. Did get a lot attention from other bike owners and most were HD guys who loved the F6B. One HD guy wanted buy mine! Lol!
Saw a black base model there tonight. Anyone?
I saw a Black F6B at JP Cycle at Destination Daytona a couple weeks ago. Other than Steve 0800 in Sanford that's all I've seen since I got mine on 9/11. There has to be more around here. Are there anymore here in Florida? Perhaps we'll see more this Up Coming Biketoberfeast In Daytona. All Ya'll are coming Right?
Saw one the first time out on mine here locally in Houston! LOL! (Rd/Blk)
Saw 2 more here before that,,, (Both Blk)
I believe Texans like 6's!!! :icon_biggrin:
why are they not selling many . .. . is it because they are so new just being out this year?? oris it the price and the economy ??
I think the biggest negative is that they have No cruise control. The f6b is the first bike I've owned since 2000 without it. I love the bike but throttle locks and all the devices other than Cruise Control Suck! I miss my Cruise control! I'm sorry I'm off subject a bit, But she asked. Dickie:banghead:
I remember when Victory came out,,, Took quite a while to see one,,, Still not a huge number of 'em around here, and we have (5) dealers withing 60 miles.
Still haven't seen any (personally owned) Indians (by Polaris) Not interested in Indian (by Polaris) anywho, so NBD.
Have seen a dozen or so Rushmore bikes out and about,,,
And about 37,482 Street Glides!!!! LOL!!!!
While on a little jaunt with the wife we seen a red F6B in Damascus Oregon on HWY 212 about 2:30 pm. First one we have seen on the road.
Rode today In the Breast Cancer Poker Run In St.Augustine Fl. Spotted two other F6B's both Black. One actually had the keys hanging in the saddle bag lock. Didn't see anyone around it. This is a bit of a flaw. Its so dang easy to forget your keys in this lock. Didn't see the owner of either bike. Would have liked to talk to them. Any of you on Here? Dickie
I used to live in St. Augustine, FL...back in 1959.
There are many of us that have a key left in the saddelbag lock. But not the entire ignition key ring. We all do it with a custom knob on a shortened key, so it only opens the saddlebags, and will not work in the ignition. If done right, the knob looks like part of the bike, and unsuspecting hooligans would not know there is a key under that knob. :shhh:
Thanks for the welcome guys.
Basic story is after wanting a motorcycle for 10+ years I finally decided to take the plunge and get my endorsement in March of this year. With that I purchased a Suzuki C50T. I actually sat on the F6B the day I bought my C50 but the idea of a 1800cc, 840lb monster that cost $21k wasn't right for a guy just begining.
So over the last 6 months I rode 6700 miles on the C50 snd lusted after the F6B continuously. On Thursday I took the C50 in to have a coolant leak looked at (turned out to just be a loose clamp) and Motosport happened to still have 1 red F6B which was their demo, coincidentally the same bike I had sat on 6 months prior. I made the comment to Matt (finance guy) that I loved the bike and it was killing me to see it sit, he asked me what he had to make happen for me to be able to take it with me. I told him there was no way I could afford a $21k bike, especially since I was sure I was upside down on my Suzuki. He insisted I tell him what I could do, and I will be damned if he didn't make it happen.

Nice!!! I'll bet your out in the garage till late thirty tonight!
Funny thing is...I just happen to have ridden THAT Red F6B...on April 6th, as their demo bike, and I ended up buying a all Black standard model, and rode it home that day. I did NOT go to the dealership to buy an F6B. I went there to buy a demo ST1300 ABS, which was a 2012 model that was part of the Honda demo fleet. They had a very low price on several of the demo ST1300's, and I drove 125 miles from home to buy one. After a two (2) mile ride on the ST1300 ABS, I returned to the dealership, handed them the bike back, and said...hell no ! It reminded me of why I no longer ride that style of bike, or in that riding position. As I was getting ready to drive away, the owner came running out, and asked me if I would please test ride the Red F6B for them, as...they were sitting on six of them, and no one had bought any yet...or even test ridden one. Since I was all dressed for riding...in the light rain...I said..sure..I will give it a test ride. (I was familiar with the new F6B, and had gone out of my way to see them at the local dealers)
After another two mile test ride..but this time on the F6B, I returned to the dealer and bought a new Black standard model.
Now...YOU have the Red demo model I test rode.:icon_mrgreen:
BTW...where did you get that white or shiny batwing sticker for the back of your helmet????? I would bet that a lot of us would buy those and puit them on the back of our helmets. Please tell me where .........
