    I agree with Bobby. The new red and black full wing is beautiful. Would look even better converted to a F6B.

    I totally agree! That paint scheme really should have gone on the F6B being how the F6B is a sportier bike. I don't like the blue, it looks like a WRX or BRZ....to kiddish (no offense) looking for me. Maybe it is better in person? The matte Gray is nice but it would have been much better in gloss. Matte finishes are a swift pain in the butt to deal with and take care of. Besides I think the trend is over!!! All of this is just my opinion though.

    Its nice that there is room on the Forum header...........2 more colors to be added

    The Canadian specs for the '15 F6B are now up on the Honda Canada website.

    Again, we do not have base and deluxe models, only one model.

    Yes, cruise has been added as standard equipment on our only model.
    And yes, ABS is still standard on our only model. Our colour choices are the same as in the US. Price is also TBD later.

    The bummer is still if we want all those accessories that come on the US Deluxe version, we have to pay the outrageous Canadian accessory prices, or cross border shop.

    Can someone explain to me why the Canadian model has ABS and the USA model does not? Just curious.

    Unless a member on here works for Mother Honda, you'll never know why.

    I believe Honda Japan (http://world.honda.com/motorcycle/) builds them to specs requested by their various national distributors. If Honda.Ca (http://motorcycle.honda.ca) wants ABS, they get ABS. If Honda USA (http://powersports.honda.com) doesn't, we don't get it. Europe doesn't want some Goldwing models (http://www.hondamc.eu).

    That's interesting. Well it looks like Honda listened to people about wanting cruise control. I guess if enough riders voice their opinion about wanting ABS, then Honda will include that in a future model. Maybe 2016? I've had it on a couple of bikes I've owned. To me it is a nice to have, but not a necessity.

    I read on another forum that ABS is mandated by law on anything over a certain displacement (200cc?) in various countries. Removing for the US is simply to increase profit margin. I cannot confirm that this is true.

    The Gray looks like a battleship.

    I'll stick with my Black.
    Re-tired, or Re-tard. Depends on your attitude.
