#1 reason guys/gals give for selling their 6b?

[27TJNJ]

Getting ready to pull the trigger on a new ride and F6b is in the top running spot. While doing my research I've come across 2 in NJ both 15s on Craigslist and wonder why?
I've had lots of bikes along the way and many brands as well, still trying to find that one that ticks the most boxes and I can keep a few years.

So what in this forums great collective pile of knowledge (of which I've picked through a bunch) would be the reason why there are A. Slow sales, B. Dropped from Honda, C. 15s in the used market already.
or is it a case of A+B=C?
What do guys give as to why they are giving up the F6?

A lot could be financial, ergonomics, no time to ride, etc...I have my 15, over 20,000 miles in less than a year, stock everything except windshield and hwy pegs, and I love it. There's no way it's the ride or handling....no way.

For me it just to change. Something new, not saying there was something wrong with the B. After 33K I wanted or was ready for something else. It's one of the reasons marriage should be a lease plan. If at 7 years or 33K, you don't want to renew your lease, you both just move on.

That is my story, on my third marriage and the first two both lasted 13 years. On another note I had two separate Honda's I kept for 12 years. I guess that is about my limit!

I loved my F6B, and if I rode by myself exclusively I would still own it. My wife and I ride together the majority of the time and she could never get comfortable on the back of it so we went to a full Gold Wing. I must admit some of the full Wing amenities are pretty nice. (Adjustable windshield, integrated NAV, better sound system, TPS, reverse, etc.)

I enjoyed my 15 F6B, but yearned for something quicker and lighter.

You ride like I do.

Bought my 15 GL April 1st already have 10,400+ miles on it.

I really like my f6b but I have a big chubby for the Honda Africa Twin so as much as I like it she will be going down the road in the spring if I can get my price if not I will keep it and ride it either way it it is a win win situation.

Funny. I had a deposit for the 1st DCT Africa Twin that Ridenow Rancho in Vegas was going to get. Then I saw my new 2014 F6B Dee-Lux for sale and got it after it was marked down 9K. Haven't looked back.
I'll just put some knobbies on it when I get the dirty urges.Attachment 24219Like this cat did.

I have had over 30 scooters, loved them all, Now I only have 2 a Kawasaki Concours, which I love, Fast as you care to go , Light and Nimble,
use it for the Mountain roads and Speed Runs to Okeechobee , My F6B, with King Ultimate seat, and dual Back rest cause NO BODY LIKES the stock seat........... is for me and the wife, I got to run home from Daytona Sunday to Palm Bay 102 miles , following a Bentley, 100-110 all the way home and Honda wasn't even breathing hard, she loved it, V&H pipes never sounded so good, Just another note I'm a real believer in Amsoil 20-50, but just for shits and Giggles I changes to 10-40 Mobile 1, and put in a little bottle of Zinc Additive I use in My antique Street Rod.
It has Never shifted so good, both UP and DOWN shifts...........
