I saw the F6B at a dealer and the lines reminded me of the old Honda Dream for some reason. I thought Honda could have named it the "Dream" and gotten away with it. When I rode one for the first time however, I reconsidered the name and thought it could have easily fit the ST category. GoldWing ST1800 has a nice ring to it! F6B not so much, but it's what we have.
In a way, I'm glad it never clicked with the masses and the owners circle is small. Yet the GL 1800 platform is so pervasive that it gives us access to most of the GL1800 parts pool and wide Honda network. It was the GL 1800 platform reputation of reliability (why many people didn't, appreciate this is beyond me) that sold me as much as the styling.
My thoughts now: We are a lucky few to own and ride the best bike ever that never sold, and never gets old.
