    Yea I really didnt want to let her go, i showed the buyer every little scratch on her , but with only 5,500 miles it was a deal for him. But now comes my new dream bike and quite possibly the best road bike available today, the F6B. If you guys could have any bike, just one, would you change? The BMWs are ugly imo, the harleys are beautiful show bikes and kinda cool but very expensive for what you get but for on the road performance, comfort ect the F6B is it for me. But please tell me what elese you would consider?

    Yea finally got it done. Tried Shawnee honda like you said but i can save 3500 going to Russelville, besides they are forum sponsors. And the ride home will be cool if it doesn't rain on me. Looking forward to meeting up w/ you. You going to the rally in sept? Want to team up for the trip?

    I feel your pain, audiochris. Sold me '05 VTX 1300R a couple weeks ago. It went to a new home in two days. No regrets . . . just great memories of some fantastic trips and lots of anticipation for many more with the B.

    I honestly wasn't looking at the B, I wanted to switch up to a sport tour...Tried the Concours, wonderful bike just couldn't get comfortable like I was on my VTX. Had I seen them before I bought the B the Triumph Trophy looks promising. However I have no regrets with my B, we got comfortable with each other really quick. No issues in the 5 months we've been paired up.

    I test road a BMW GTL1600, I believe that's what it was, wonderful machine, however to many multifunction wisbangs for me. The Triumph Rocket 3 was high on my list, it lost to a Honda again...When I purchased my VTX it was between the VTX and the Rocket, VTX fit like a glove. I'm not ready for a road couch like the full wings yet, maybe next time. Although who knows what will new and exciting things will be on the market in 5 or 10 years...

    Having rode the "6"? Nothing.........
    Kept my '95 Heritage for sentimental reasons. She's loud and a bitch, but I still love her.
    Isleen however? She's my mistress.......

    Isleen - 2014 F6BD

    NOTHING and I did try many others. As you said, probably the best road bike available!

    I really liked my '03 VTX 1300R... until I rode it again after two weeks on my new B. It kinda felt like a little wind-up toy!
    She's got herself a new guy.
