1) The F6B (along with the GL1800 of course) is the ONLY motorcycle engine that has zero vibration throughout its entire operating range. No other current engine that I'm aware of can make that claim.
2) The torque curve is so high and flat that the engine has absolutely no peakiness or zone of lacklustre performance. Acceleration is truly like turning the rheostat of an electric motor.
Back to the cold garage to look at and sit on my sleeping F6B.
