What was your previous Motorcycle before the F6B ???
We only get one choice.....
Steve, I should have made the poll so that you could have made multiple choices, my bad :icon_redface: . I wasn't thinking and I can't change it now. Just post below this response what else you had or have.
Thanks :beer3:
I've had a bunch but last was a Suzuki M109R.
My last ride was a 2010 Can-am Spyder RS-S man what a fun ride she was.
Had a couple of Valkyries, actually sold one and a dirt bike to buy the F6B. I still have a 1997 black and yellow Valkyrie that looks like new. It's all set up for travel, I tow a trailer with it and it has so much chrome on it it hurts your eyes. With the F6B I am anti chrome for this bike. I tell ya 16 years of technology between the two bikes is incredible when you ride them!

2003 Honda Vtx 1800c and that was a bike I thought I wouldn't stop riding for a long time. The F6B changed that and I know I would still have that bike and still love riding it if the F6B hadn't come along.

Wild Bill - I'll stick with the last 3...
2007 Harley EG Ultra
2005 Harley Sportster (could not get the wife to ride it on her own...)
2003 Harley EG Classic
This bike (since the last 20) is my favorite. At my age, and with this economy, will likely be my last. I chose wisely...
After getting my F6B I had to sell one of my other 3 bikes. The first one to go was the 2005 Harley-Davison FXDX. It sold within 2-hours after I posted it on Craig's List.
Attachment 623Attachment 624Attachment 625
When I bought F6B At the time I also had:
2006 Goldwing
2000 Road King Custom
2009 V Rod Muscle
Recently sold GW and RK, kept the Muscle.
Here are some pictures of my Muscle (VRSCF) transformation. I love this bike, too.
Here's what the RK and GW looked like, sold them both after buying F6B, just stopped being fun for me. I had over 70,000 miles on Road King with no problems. I bought RK slightly used 9 years ago for $9000 and sold it for $8000, ebay.
I enjoyed riding Goldwing but I was never really into it. Probably why I sold it as soon as I could after buying F6B.
Before that I had:
1992 GL1500 Goldwing
2000 BMW K1200LT
1986 Kawasaki Concours
1998 Yamaha V Star Classic 650
1985 Kawasaki Eliminator ZL1000
1986 Honda Super Magna 750
1988 Kawasaki KZ1000P Police
1986 Honda Rebel 450
All my bikes were either black or some shade of red.
I maybe missing a few...
my last bike was a fully customized M109R ...awesome bike.. But my F6 can run rings around it in every category...handling..comfort..speed..smoothness..p ower..cornering.. I don't regret 1 thing about the change I made...had a previous white wing..and a few Hayabusa's all badass... This ranks right up there!!! Simply put...I LOVE MY F6B :clap2:
I also already ordered some Hot Goodies.. Risers..( just the wedges as I'm 6' tall, to push the handle bars fwd 1&1/2") baggershield 11" to 19" ..cobra 6-2-6 (still waiting) ..6000K HID's.. And more to follow!! :icon_cool:
Here's a pic of my old Street Glide, even though I hate looking at it. I got the letter in the mail today that it's PAID OFF! Sweet. I tried so hard to like this bike. I had some really good rides on it, but in a year in a half I went through 5 radios, an engine rebuild at 35k miles (thank you warranty!) and various other issues. Then there's the super expensive maintenance. My 50k service cost me $800! I couldn't wait to get rid of it. I almost traded it for a Triumph but I'm SO glad I got the F6B. I told the salesman, "the only way I'm leaving with a smile on my face today is if I get the F6B." We worked out a deal and I never looked back!

They look similar, but I always wanted a fixed fairing. Options for me were Road Glide, Vision or GW. Thank you Honda for bringing us the F6B so I can finally have a GW I'm proud to ride! :icon_mrgreen:
I have owned a number of Harley's, Valkyrie's, a Rune, and still own a 2011 HD Deluxe, picture below. But, I love my new F6B!
At one time I owned a V8 Chopper, kind of cool, but not very practically with a range of only 80-100 miles between fill ups.

Honda Interstate 1300
I did not take the poll as I have not yet bought an F6B...I now have a 94 Honda magna V4 and a 99 Honda Aero 1100..
I think I will wait for the next year edition of the F6B because of reported paint problems, no cruise control and lack of tall (very tall) windshield...all three are showstoppers for me...

2012 HD FLSTN Softail Deluxe. Best HD I've owned of eight. Won't bore you with the other 42 since 1960.
ST1300. I still have it & I like it nearly as much as the F6B. When you're 70, 200 lbs makes a huge difference in the ability to move bikes in & out of the garage. I just finished a 4000 mile ride & I'll mostly use the F6B as long as I can maneuver around the garage & parking areas.

Standard Goldwing is not listed for 2014 either and the ST1300 has not been changed since 2012 and still listed as such but still available and on the Honda site, I think you will find that Honda USA are going to be pushed more like the rest of the world with model changes every few years not every year, in Europe when you buy a bike its registered the year it was sold not the model year so theoretically a 2006 GL1800 could be sold brand new today and classed as a 2013, the rest of the world is not so fixated with model years just a new bike is a new bike.
Bet we dont see a change for 2-3 years and I doubt it will be the significant upgrades people mention like ABS and reverse as far a Honda are concerned you can go buy a full wing
