Been lurking here a while as my next ride will most likely be the F6B. Pretty new to forums but learned a ton about my bikes on them. The regular gw forums seems to not like it or much else that I could tell but I don't see too much bad on any bike w the 1800 F6 engine. The F6B hits the sweet spot perfectly w bags and wind protection though.
who want the kind of performance no cruiser can match
Well, that may depend on your definition of performance,,,,
Until they change the overall design of the old 6, it won't be the fastest cruiser,,, if fastest is part of your 'performance' equation,,,,
Cruisers with 'traditional/conservative' designed 300cc chambers serviced by 2 valves red-lining at 6K are going to need at least 6 cylinders to 'keep up' with bikes a lot older than themselves.
Not slammin the 6,,, Just sayin it's a bit long in the tooth,,,
