On another note, I wonder if the F6B comes out in October as well, what are all these Honda dealers going to do with the 2013 & 2014 F6B's they still have in stock? I have emailed back and forth with a few of them and they don't want to budge much on price. I talked to one in North Carolina about taking my R1200RT as a trade. They quoted me the KBB trade in price for my bike. When I looked up the KBB retail price from a dealer for a 2013 F6B, it came to $16,325. When I told them about that, they still wouldn't come down from their $18,096. Of course they had it advertised on Cycle Trader for $16,999, but that was before the $800+ for shipping and prep and $199 document processing fees. I mentioned about it being a model year old and they stuck by it saying it was still a new bike because it has never been owned. While true, when you go to sell it at some point in the future, whoever buys it is not going to care when it was purchased, they will only look at the model year. Sorry for the rant, but dealers bug the S**t out of me.
Also, I bet there will be a lot of 2013 and 2014 used models for sale from owners wanting the cruise control. I wonder if dealers will be able to retro fit the older models. I might just have to wait for the 2015 model now before I get one.
