    2014 F6B video from Italy

    .batman-smiley. With love from Italy .... I see chrome (aftermarket?)

    Also notice the BLACK Fury next to it. The 2014 GL1800 is available in Black also, are we seeing a trend?

    What's TA, NEWS and AF on the left control box? I also noticed the headlight switch has a passing light feature that mine doesn't have. Those rotor covers would look good in black.

    TA NEWS ETC is an RDS radio they don't have CB on Euro bikes but RDS is the radio data system it allows you to search for radio station types, also as many radio stations are national they have multiple frequencies these radios automatically hop as signals strengths change.

    The passing flash is also a Euro requirement on vehicles

    Yes, I saw that too. There is no excuse for it.

    Another thing that you can see.... is a properly mounted front tire and a not so properly mounted rear tire. The Rim white paint (NEVER REMOVE) dot is the lightest part of the rim, the painted yellow dot on the tire is the heaviest part of the tire. Once you line up the dots the need for balancing weights is minimal. Someone at the factory didn't mount the rear tire perfectly.

    When mounting tires, you should always ask the technician to align these dots, many don't have a clue.

    Hard to tell but it looks like (Prezzo - price includes VAT*) 24,800 Euros
    At today's rate of $1USD = $1.35 Euros, that makes the price for a 2014 F6B in Italy... $33,400 USD

    * VAT stands for Value Added Tax
