a Goldwing or a Victory Cross Country.

It wouldn't be on my shortlist, but it's got a lot of tech in it.

The three bikes I would test ride are the GW, K1600GTL and the R1200RT. I would consider the others and may be test ride them, but unless they impress me, the list would get shorter fast.

My dealer has already sold my trade in!! The color on the F6B was the deal breaker for me, I just couldn't like that red. I told them if they could track down a yellow 14 maybe we could deal but they told me all the leftover 14's in yellow were on the west coast. I had the dealer throw in the tall windshield because I knew it was gonna be needed. My bike is 9 days old now with over 1300 miles on already, I just can't stop riding it! Stay in touch.....

I will stay in touch. Color isn't a choice when buying used sometimes. Red isn't my favorite color but I wouldn't walk away from a deal because of the color red either. I like your blue and its one of my preferred colors although
white is my color of choice. Been riding mine back and forth to work and hopefully will get sometime on the weekend to take a longer ride. Al

Maybe we can meet at next years F6B rally labor day weekend in Russellville Arkansas I'm hoping to make it down there. The home base for the rally is Honda of Russellville. I just missed this years rally and the bad part was it was in Tenn. and I was riding only about 80 miles from where it was, dang! For me if I didn't have the new 14 Vaquero as a trade I seriously would have considered the red 13 just because of the money difference but the wife said we should go newer not older and I couldn't argue with her and I really wanted that blue!!

Maybe you two would want to consider joining a FB6 forum. I would have to believe that it would be more beneficial to discuss your bikes with others that own similar ones. Just like we do here for Vulcan Baggers.

There are lots of guys on here that had Kawasakis and then changed brands.

Does the f6b come with cruise control?

The one I looked at last year didn't have it.

That doesn't change the fact that this forum is for Vulcan baggers.

They didn't look very hard for a yellow one. The dealer 15 miles from me have a 2014 yellow one. North east indiana. http://www.haydenhonda.com/new_vehic...20&pov=4118570

Ive seen a lot of guys on here with BMW's Harleys and other brands. Hasn't seem to bother anyone up until now. So I will bow out and never return. Didn't know you owned the forum.

Hey Richard, if you don't like the thread, why are you reading it?

Your post just answered my question as to why all the veterans of this board have stopped posting.

They don't buy from other dealers, they checked the Honda factory inventory for leftovers.
