Reporting from Rochester NY metro area: I've seen two other F6Bs in the area, though it's possible it was the same rider. My dealer had two '13s (I bought one), a '14, and a '15 in stock as of last October.
8 of 10 bikes around here are Harleys or crotch rockets.
Former Ride:
2013 F6B Standard, black; sold 7/2019
Latest Addition:
2016 Gold Wing Level 3, red; SCT transmission stuck in manual mode
2019 Miles:
7,900 as of 10/6
But I have seen a few. I would not have bought the regular Goldwing, just too much. I love that the Canadian F6B has ABS, I have no use for the radio or intercom, not a fan of the noisier pipes on the 2015 and 2016 models. The cruise control would be nice, I suppose, but not necessary. JMHO
I spent a long time thinking about how much I would use cruise, since I had the choice between a leftover '13 without it and '15 with it for $3000 more. I decided to go with the '13 because of the riding I do - mostly county and state highways, lots of curves, towns, etc. I rarely am on an interstate and/or four-laner of any kind. I would use cruise very infrequently if I had it.

Dealers around me still have leftover F6B"s in stock as well as regular Wing's. I love my F6 but my wife would have rather I bought the full blown Wing but out of the 6500+ miles I have on it already she has been on it less than 200 of those. The cruise I have used a could of times, I would rather have had the adjustable rear suspension for the few times she does ride.

Well we did end up buying two F6Bs, his & hers.
Not long after we bought the wife's red F6B we went to a Saturday night bike event at the local Tilted Kilt. After we parked the bikes I had to go back to them to get something she forgot. A gentleman parking his HD next to them was looking them over. He asked me "what you got in it?" I told him $29,500. He gasped & said "that's more than I paid for my Harley!" I said that was for both of them.
He was a bit taken aback....

2013 F6B, black standard.
2013 F6B, red Deluxe for the wife.
I've seen a few black ones down here. I see them from time to time. Not as much as I would have thought. Saw a guy on another site and he has a B and said it may have ruined him for other bikes. That is sort of my feeling too. I hope they don't discontinue them, I don't need a full dressed Goldwing. I'd rather go to another B after this one, once I ride this one to death.
