    That is the same ad they used on their web-site in 2016 for the F6B...Nothing describes anything new for any 2017 model!!!

    It's sad that Justin Bieber came from here. But I'm happy that we get 1 more year of the F6B !

    I spent 3 years in Giessen and 3 years in Nurnberg. Had a midnight Virago 920 while in Nurnberg. Best riding experience in my life. Even the farm roads are in better shape than most of our highways here. I would ride to a gasthaus where the moped gangs hung out. There would be so many of them looking at the bike, I couldn't even get off for 5 minutes they were crowded in so close to checkout the bike. Loved the food and drink.

    in the name of all that is sacred in motorcycling (bagger division)

    how can they be talking of dropping the f6b when:

    BMW Concept 101 becomes a reality with K 1600 B bagger

    Moto Guzzi has the Moto Guzzi MGX-21 Fyling Fortress

    How many units do they need to make a business case when so much is identical to the full Goldwing?

    I won't even bring up the amount of American iron that moves in a year.
    2014 Red F6B with ABS
    Baker: Hand Wings, BikeMP3: rack, Cardo Packtalk Bold Cyclepump: air compressor, Garmin Zumo 396
    Honda: battery maintainer, center stand, passenger backrest, shop manual (2012-16), tall screen
    MEC: first aid kit Nelson Rigg: Route 1 Traveler Tour Trunk Bag
    Rivco: Honda Adjustable Highway Mounts, Flatfoot pegs

    Well, I suppose in a few years all of us F6B owners could be like the older Valkyrie bagger owners a few years back. They quit making that bike as well and now as a second hand unit they go for a premium. Actually it is the whole lighter concept on a GW platform that steered me in the direction of the F6B in the first place.

    Not certain why they "may" be discontinuing it but I love the bike to much to worry about it. Usually a big disconnect between the top of these multinationals and what is happening on the ground.

    All good......
