And.... another.

Well,

I picked it up last night... weather was overcast so the piccies were dull on the phone cam, SWMBO was in hospital getting a knee replacement, so I wandered up to see her and got a couple of pics

Magic buttons :icon_cool:

Had a lot of fun sneaking home from the visit later that night, still tentative around corners, worrying about scraping, haven't touched yet. Just gotta get a little more used to it, but the motor is just plain great.... so smooth...

And reverse is awesome for waddling past the car into the shed! :clap2:

Now, where are my damn accessories?:yikes:

How much does it cost in Australia ? If it is for $ 25,000 AUD, that comes to around $ 19,723 USD. Still puzzled why we don't have cruise and reverse here. Looks like we are paying more getting less. Am I right ? What are other factors that Honda won't introduce it in US. Marginal cost and Marginal revenue :)

We should start importing "grey" bikes to the USA to give Honda a "hint".

Another West Coaster! Hey! :039:

They reckon they've sold around 20 a year over here... I think they're parked somewhere. Sure as hell haven't seen one yet.

2 things you tempt me with...
- used to be a black addict, now I wonder if I should 3M matt finish on front and back and paint the rest in a great shiny color..you bike looks awsome...
- became a kiwi previously in my life, now in Canada they refuse knee surgery "because I'm too young".. I'm 51 you're 46... I should put Perth on my "to live" list and become an Aussie...(after getting Canadian citizenship of course ;) )

Before I bought the F6B I thought I would need reverse. I thought the bike would be a little tall and heavy to back out of the garage into my front sidewalk for a three point turn around. After the first time I did this I realized that the F6B is so well balanced that I did not need reverse. It just as easy to move as my Harley ever was and it never needed reverse.

Now the cruise control would be nice, but for $13600.00 out the door I still have a lot of money to burn on gas etc.... With my insurance check I did not even have to pay any tax. They gave me $13700.00 for my 2010 HD Fatboy (totaled, they really hold their value!!)

The F6B is the greatest bike and I love it more every time I ride it. I just wish I could ride it with no police restrictions. It is nearly impossible to drive the speed limit and not flip around all the other cars and bikes. As we all know almost none of them can run with the F6B.

Enjoy your beautiful new F6B!!! (You will love it)
