F6B Riders .....
What Motorcycle did you trade, retired or sold to acquire a NEW F6B ?
I have seen several posts from Riders that are coming from another Brand of motorcycle. Just curious where everyone is coming from.
Came from an ST1300.
The wife suggested we get the F6B deluxe so we could pick up and ride at a moments notice. She would not ride on the ST, too quick and our other bikes are on display in her shop.
Came from a Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad. I had stuck a HD Road-Glide fixed-fairing on it

Looking forward to picking up my new F6B in two weeks!
U-Turn check out www.smokymountainrider.com for road conditions if you are still planning that ride.
I am currently selling my 97 BMW R1100RT that Iv'e had for 3 years now to buy the F6B. I've owned all Honda's before that bike. 74-550, 79-750 and a 82-900F. The big gap in years is from when I was married. lol Gotta find a wife that LIKES motorcycles. http://hondaf6b.com/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif
I traded in my 2008 Suzuki DRZ 400 Super Moto. I used the DRZ for heavy in town use and now that use had declined and it just sat all last summer.
I still own a 2005 Rune, 2009 DN01, Harley FLSTNI Softail Deluxe, Suzuki B-King and a Triumph Thunderbird Storm.
I bought a black standard and added heated grips, center stand and LED auxiliary lights. I have no need for the back rest as I ride solo.
The weather here in Minnesota is awful. It was nine degrees this morning and the snow piles are so high you can't see over them when in the car. So the F6B will sit for about another month the way things look now. So I'm envious of those of you are able to ride now.
I had purchased it new in Aug., 2010 right before I retired. I had 48K plus miles on it. It was a good bike. Nothing like the F6B. I thoroughly enjoy my new bike. http://hondaf6b.com/images/smilies/biker.gif
I purchased a RED Deluxe F6B. It's a beauty.
Just purchased a F6B. Ordered the tall windshield and backrest which will be installed free of charge by my dealerhttp://hondaf6b.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif
I just picked up my F6BD yesterday and cant wait to ride it. Minnesota is still frozen over. I have had a few bikes in my day but the Honda F6B rocks!
I traded in my old 2012 Yamaha Vstar 1300 Tour for the Honda.
So excited to get going!
Had a GW 1200, then GW 1500 back in Europe, drove through 16 countries.
Then moved to beautiful New Zealand, and now ready to go for nice, relax rides, after a long break from motorcycles.
(how did a managed ?)

Happy to be a part of this forum. In response to the poll, I did not trade, retire or sell another bike to get my f6b. Last year I bought a new 2012 Kawasaki Concours 14. I had no intentions on getting rid of that bike when I noticed the f6b just about three months ago for the first time. I just knew I had to have it, so somehow I was able to obtain one. And WOW, this thing is like the Cadillac of motorcycles! It is a different ride from my Kawai and I'm am happy to have both. With this being my first post on this forum, I hope to learn a lot and contribute equally.

I forgot to mention that I put a taller windshield on order when I purchased the bike and it came in about a week later. Man, it makes a HUGE difference! Especially on the freeway. I also installed the fog lights and the accent the bike sooo much--really make you visible.

I added the F6B to my collection. I also own 07 CBR1000RR (Black) and 08 CBR600RR (Graffiti Edition)

I had the same thing happen to me. Just bought a bike last year and then saw the F6B. I could not stop myself...
My accessory funds are a bit low so one part at a time. I will start with a wind shield and clear turn signal covers.
I just mine yesterday!!! Deluxe black. 63 degrees in Charlotte so today was a perfect day for my first ride. 120 miles and more to come. I was riding a 900 Vulcan and had no idea what I was missing. Great ride, great bike!
Be safe.
Welcome.....I put on 800 miles yesterday...smiling all the way!!!
08 gl 1800 traded in for black deluxe.
Havent seen a real bike yet but it ticks all the right characteristics of a bike which would love to own.
Can't wait for the bike to arrive from US TO malaysia. This bike will retail for 15 % cheaper then a classic wing. CW cost USD 56K SO F6B IN malaysia will cost usd 50k+
can't wait for May delivery!

We traded in our beloved 2009 Kawi Concours 1400. 17000 good time miles.
Did the deal Saturday afternoon. Bad case of buyers remorse this morning as I have anytime I make a high dollar purchase.. : p
We spent all day Easter Sunday on the super comfortable new F6B- 240 miles in the book.
50 mpg taking the ozark back roads nice and easy as she only had 1 mile on her when we rode it off the lot.
Congrats on the new F6B! I too had a few sleepless nights thinking about the "deal" I made. I took a few rides over the weekend and have not thought about it since. This bike has so many great features and could easily be my last bike. All of the great reviews, including May 13 Cycle World, should make you feel better! Welcome to the forum!

Just sold my 97 BMW1000RT so I'll be joining the club soon!! My bike has already been counted in the survey. http://hondaf6b.com/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif

FIRST RECOVERED Post from the archives, this is going to take some time, but we should be able to recover a large amount of our data. Patience
I traded in my 2011 Victory Vision. Thank God I sold that piece of junk. Do yourself a favor, buy nothing that say's Polaris.
Traded a 2005 Yamaha Roadstar for my Black standard F6B.By far this is the nicest riding bike I have ever owned.Waiting on a Baggershield 19" vented touring shield to get here to make my ride even better.Little story I was out on a short ride yesterday when I hear behind me the blip of a siren.Look into the mirrors and see a NV trooper on his police bike pointing for me to pull over.Thought to myself what the heck was I doing wrong as I pulled to the side of the road.He pulls up next to me and say's "Nice ride How do you like it so Far".I laughed and said it is great and we had a 5 minute talk.He was lookin to try one of these and I had bought the only one at the Reno,NV Honda dealer.So I offered to let him ride mine and watch his police bike for a minute.He came back and say it was awsome-felt as nice as his Kawi police cruiser.Nice to know I have a buddy now just in case.I told him the hardest part of riding this F6B is keeping the speed down!
I traded in a 2000 Roadstar for the 2013 F6B. The Roadie was a great bike that took me many places, but it was time.
Sold my 2004 Rune on ebay to get a black deluxe F6B.

Sold my 2001 Valkyrie and picked up a black F6B.Attachment 38 April 13th.
I traded my yamaha Roadliner for the f6b. But I was at the dealer which I have bought 30 bikes from making a deal on a 2010 canam spyder rts. Deal was done ,paperwork ready to sign, all I needed to do is test ride this thing which I think is a beautiful machine. Wife and I hopped on and this was the worst handling most insecure thing I have ever been on. We rode for about 40 minutes and finally I was tired of trying to keep it on the road so back to the dealer we went and came home with the f6b :-). I have ridden the smaller spiders and really liked them a lot.

Sorry to see the FXDX go but it was time! Onward F6B!!
'98 Valkyrie Tourer, 05 ZRX 1200 R, 89 PC 800 and keeping them all...well may be letting the PC go...need the room in the garage.
Traded 98 Valk though I'd keep forever! 13 F6B , 07 Bandit1250. MA.
I had to make a decision, put money into my 2000 Harley Electraglide with 83,000 miles on it, or do some research, find a bagger that is reliable, comfortable, and made for cross country touring. Rode my Harley over to the Honda dealer to test drive a Victory Cross Country and saw the F6B on the sales floor. After riding the Victory, jumped on the F6B, and that was it, sold!
Had my Black F6B for about 2 weeks now....LOVE IT!
Traded in my 97 Valk that I thought I'd be keeping forever. In fact - I had just got $1000 worth of work done on it. Was planning on steel braided cabling next. And then the F6B lured me in!
