F6B SIGHTINGS...

[MichaelG]

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Motosport happened to still have 1 red F6B which was their demo, coincidentally the same bike I had sat on 6 months prior.

Funny thing is...I just happen to have ridden THAT Red F6B...on April 6th, as their demo bike, and I ended up buying a all Black standard model, and rode it home that day. I did NOT go to the dealership to buy an F6B. I went there to buy a demo ST1300 ABS, which was a 2012 model that was part of the Honda demo fleet. They had a very low price on several of the demo ST1300's, and I drove 125 miles from home to buy one. After a two (2) mile ride on the ST1300 ABS, I returned to the dealership, handed them the bike back, and said...hell no ! It reminded me of why I no longer ride that style of bike, or in that riding position. As I was getting ready to drive away, the owner came running out, and asked me if I would please test ride the Red F6B for them, as...they were sitting on six of them, and no one had bought any yet...or even test ridden one. Since I was all dressed for riding...in the light rain...I said..sure..I will give it a test ride. (I was familiar with the new F6B, and had gone out of my way to see them at the local dealers)

After another two mile test ride..but this time on the F6B, I returned to the dealer and bought a new Black standard model.

Now...YOU have the Red demo model I test rode.


BTW...where did you get that white or shiny batwing sticker for the back of your helmet????? I would bet that a lot of us would buy those and puit them on the back of our helmets. Please tell me where .........

Picked it up on eBay, its white vinyl. This is the same seller I used.

I saw a red F6B Sunday around 1 PM heading from Mount Greylock MA, home to Ct. It was not as big a suprise as the first F6B I saw. I picked this one out in the distance.
So far in Ct, I don't see many of these. I wonder how they are selling? I actually like to be "different" from the masses so it's OK with me if these bikes are NOT selling well. If I wanted to be like everyone else I'd buy a V-Twin.

To be honest with ya'all, I am hoping that Honda discontinues the F6B, and does not bring it back as a 2014 model. It would be nice to have the single year model of this bike. I do not beleive that a 2014 model would have any appreciable changes to it...like a electronic cruise control, or ABS brakes, etc.

So, for me, I would like Honda to stop making the F6B, and have the 2013 model year be the only one.

Not me!!! It would kill the avaialbility of F6B-specific aftermarket do-dads!!!

If you want a (darn near) one-off, go buy a DN-01!!!!!

The Honda DN-01 is a cruiser motorcycle made by Honda from 2008 to 2010. It was introduced at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show[4] and went on sale in Japan and Europe in 2008, in the United States in 2009,[3] and was discontinued at the end of 2010.

Scotrod, by now we F6B owners have already bought 93.14159 % of the aftermarket do-dads that we want for our bikes, and if there is anything that we have not bought yet...it will still be available for the next 6 months to a year before the manufacturers decide to stop making it.

As for the DN-01...way too small cc, and not for me. I checked one out...no thanks.

No way!!! I'm just getting started!!!!!

Due to the release of the F6B:

Cobra finally came out with some 'sporty' pipes for a Wing now, Bassani is reportedly working on some. (Cobra had some Wing pipes before, but not like the 6-2-6's. If memory serves, Bassani has never had Wing pipes.)

Ultimate is working on a seat, Mustang may follow suit,,, (Neither works for me, but TONS of folks like 'em!)

Windshields,,, ALWAYS room for more F6B specific 'this-is-not-your-Grandapa's' windshields!!!! LOL!

The 'sporty' version of the modern Wing has just now arrived! Killing it now will stick a fork in the 'sporty' creativity that brings new stuff/new direction to the aftermarket. We want MORE than just a catalog full of Kury-Chrome!!!!

Or, was the F6B just designed for the G-Wing crowd? The 'Restaurant Raiders'???, They guys who are happy with just a new piece of bling and a HungerBuster?!?!??!?!?!?

I say NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOO!!!!
