Yes that blue is very sharp on the F6B. On the Valkyrie I was less enthused about it and preferred the black or the red.
I am sure I hear the exhaust of the new ones soon enough. I look forward to it. I'm keeping my eyes open to see the new Two Bros. Exhaust.
Just a thought, perception sometimes can be very subjective. The CTX1300 at 76 hp and 78 ft. lbs of torque and a Cycle World test 1/4 mile of 12.8 seconds, it measures a full second slower than when Cycle World tested the F6B. I really liked the ergonomics of the CTX1300, and if they had left the engine alone when they transplanted it from the ST1300 who knows. But Honda decided to neuter it for a more Cruiser style feel I guess. Nice bikes though.
