I get a kick at how the old folks say Honda is not moving forward....looks to me like they are moving forward by leaps and bounds.....

Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.
HMMMM???? Maybe it will grow on me after awhile. Narrow fairing makes it look like a Triumph rocket 3 to me, kind of humped up a little to much with that 6 gallon tank, dont like
the shortened Rune headlight either. It doesnt look like a cruiser to me, looks like a euro touring bike on steroids, F6B is a better looking bike IMHO
Maybe ABS for the rest of the planet other than the U.S. like on the F6B (thanks, North American Honda!)Originally Posted by Phantom

Honda USA website says ABS is available. Perhaps as an option/part of a package.
I still have trouble understanding why people that ride get so "hung-up" on ABS brakes. Most bike publications feel that Honda's linked braking system works just fine on the F6B..I have been riding for over 50 years and have not noticed much difference in either system..I guess it is a personal thing like cruise control, but I personally have little use for either with my riding style...JMHO
I second the motion! The linked brakes saved me just fine when I skirted between Bambi2 and Bambi3 the other day! I also would add "Didn't you know the F6B you bought didn't have ABS or a cruise control or an air bag or reverse or NAV or a wind shield! That is what makes it an F6B.
Honda designers are continuing to tweak the general movement toward really sleek, fluid lines. Although this bike is eye-candy to my artistic side, I wouldn't buy it.

My needs continue to be for a tourer that has locking security in bags, and one that is large enough and stable enough, that long days OTR are rejuvenating rather than wearing. This bike would be awesome for day rides, but then, where would I put my water bottle and store the layers coming off? Hmmmm, I'd need a backpack... sigh. Stopped being a mule years ago.
This one will definitely have buyers, and fits a certain demographic. I wish Honda well in its sales. I wonder if the paint is the same quality as the F6b?

I'll pass, I like the original Valkyrie.
