    It would have been nice if Honda marked their GW Anniversary with this newer design.... oh well. Funny, when I first saw the F6B I immediately thought of the old Dream. In fact I thought F6b Dream would have been a cool name.

    Like it or hate it Honda is never resting on it's laurels, always innovating their product lines. When you think of their massive line of products and that dedication to continuous improvement, it clearly sets them apart from the rest of the herd. IMHO

    Interesting, that mag pic looks a lot like an ST. Would love to see the new ST be based off the GW.
    2015 Honda F6B Deluxe
    2007 Honda ST1300A (176K miles)
    2003 Honda VTX1800C (80K miles)
    Waaaay to many MX bikes to list.

    Looks like an over-engineered BMW Telelever design.

    When I look at that picture, the front end reminds me of an Aspencade.

    The "B" still looks better! That's one reason I bought the 6, and not a Full Wing. Looks like Honda still uses the same motor, So the Wing won't be any faster. If the front suspension is that much better, it will most likely fit on our 6s. Frame looks the same too. JMO

    I would like a view from the back to see if they changed the shape of the lights on the top case to finally match the style of the lower lights...right now it looks like an old case added to a new bike. The dashboard and gauges would be something I would like to see. The front suspension looks kinda weird. I owned a few Beemers the suspension components were hidden well inside the cowl. The front suspension is the only thing I miss from my K1200GT although replacing 2 ball joints was quite expensive.
