I think I want a F6B, convince me.

As I stated in another post. I have been on here a week. I have not rode in 4 years, but I have the itch again. I had back surgery 5 years ago. I have been riding Harleys since the early 90's, had 3 the last one being a Electra Glide Classic. Since the surgery I am unable to ride continuously for more than an hour without pain, even with a drivers backrest, due to the vibrations and harder ride. Will the F6B be the bike I can ride. Looking for input from ex Harley guys.

I think so.
Older I am. I got back problems and other stuff, but the F6B is good with factory seat and Rivco pegs for me. Owned a lot of scoots ( all brands ). F6B WORKS !! Only you know your health and body.

Have your local dealer set you up with a test ride, then you can convince yourself.

Does the flat 6 generate a lot of heat. On hot days with the Harley you not only get the heat from the day but the engine heat rises up making it twice as bad.

I don't care if you get one or not. Leaves more for the guys that really want them. Just kidding. Kind of. You shouldn't let anyone talk you into something. Your choice should be based on fact and experience. Having said that , if you think you will like a 'riders' motorcycle and can handle a big bike with gobs of power , the B may be for you.

Really, really hot day, with the wind just right, you can feel some heat, but not like a Harley, and your girl friend/wife won't have a thermal melt down (unless you want such).

I traded my 2013 Harley Road Glide Custom (attached) because of the unbearable heat, especially in traffic, for a 2013 F6B. There is no comparison in the two as the F6B is far superior in evacuating the heat with two radiators and a high speed fan.

I came from a 2013 road glide custom. You will love the smooth power and ride of this bike. Although me personally am prob going back to harley. Trust me you will love this bike. I'm only prob gonna go back to harley for fitment issues. At 6ft3 235. I can't get comfy on this bike I also miss the sound of the hd. But I'm gonna say this. I can't say enough good about this f6b Powerful. Smooth. Fast. Smooth smooth smooth. And after back surgery. that's whAt you want

I wore shorts yesterday but the pavement wasn't hot. The most heat comes up from blacktop or cement. Would take a miracle design change to get me back on a Harley.

Shorts on a motorcycle?
