Will there be a 2018?

[Retired Army]

Here is a question for the prognosticators in the group. Will the Gold Wing F6b still be in production in 2018 and will it have the front suspension that Honda applied for? I am thinking if the suspension is changed it will come with substantial price increase.

The bigger question , will the F6B be continued. I'm guessing it won't. If Honda was smart, they'd make the Gold WIng where the trunk could easily be removed.

Like the Victory Vision. 4 bolts and it's off.

I have a "gut feeling" that the F6B will go the way of the old Valkyrie and disappear into the sunset...Sales were lousy by most reports and I doubt Ma Honda will keep a slow selling bike in the future line up.....Most dealers are "giving" them away for ridiculous prices just to move them off the floor.....JMHO

I visited an Indian dealer recently and was totally impressed to see how modern the technology and amenities are on their bikes. Updated motor, super adjustable suspension, plush rider and passenger seats, Touch screen everything. kick butt electronics. The fit and finish is outstanding.

All be it, they retail for around 30K.

My point being that some similar upgrades to the Wing line up are long, long over do.

I'm not sure MA Honda will hold much MC line market share among the tech savey generation coming up, without major changes.

All it takes is one built in Bluetooth..........sheesh, how hard is that? The bike is a top shelf winner for power and handling, but the electronics, the displays, the user input ergonomics just plain blow.

Odd, there are several folks on here complaining about high prices, when they are giving them away...

If folks are complaining about high prices for the F6B, they must be the ones that have not been paying attention or just like to complain...Some of us with 2013 models that bought them in 2013, myself included, laid out a lot of cash compared to what they go for now...$14/15000 for a new left-over 14,15,16 model is "one hell of deal" for this bike...Honda is giving the dealers a huge incentive to un-load these left over models for a "song"...and as I stated earlier, if anyone complains about high prices on these units, to me, they would bitch about anything!!..JMHO and ride safe

Well that will sucks... especially when it comes to buying extras for the bike...As much as I love this bike, if I knew it was going to be discontinued, I would have gone with the victory...

You can take comfort that these bikes are Gold Wings, and therefore there is quite a lot of aftermarket support and will be for many years.Most of what applies to a regular fully dressed Gold Wing is applicable to our F6Bs.
