Hi. Last summer I tested the F6B as well as the Triumph Trophy, Yamaha FJR1300 and Super Tenere and have been looking at bikes for ever. On May 21 this year I checked the local dealers, the Internet, Ebay and Cycle Trader and discovered my new 2013 Red Deluxe F6B still languishing on the dealer floor from last year, so I bought it. $5000 price drop was too much to resist.

Since then I have clocked up 2500 miles. Love it. Remarkably smooth. Fantastic torque. The only downside is the wind noise around my Shoei fullface helmet. I just spoke to Clearview Shields and ordered a short, sport tour, clear replacement. I am 5' 8" and I have been following the discussion on this topic, and wanted to make sure it would not detract from the clean lines of the Honda design - even as it provides more protection from the wind. Today they are quoting up to 18 days for order fulfillment, and the F6B is now one of their most popular items! The customer service rep, Andy, was very helpful in discussing options etc. Seems like a great company to do buiness with. Hopefully I can report back in about a month about the results.

I also learned that Clearview now has 9 employees, including the owners. Personal service is to be expected!
