Honda F6B Gold Wing. Would you buy one?

waterman · 06-07-2013, 06:24 PM

Nope. The Goldwing just doesn't fit me right.

george james · 06-07-2013, 06:53 PM

Yes, it's not your dads wing.

c_law23 · 06-07-2013, 07:02 PM

I would definitely buy one over the original type of wing, but looks too "plasticky" and "space ship" like for me.

deacon · 06-07-2013, 07:04 PM

Reminiscent of the Valkyrie. I would like to ride one!

jasperboy · 06-07-2013, 07:16 PM

Just kinda looks like a Goldwing that got "low bridged".

dshelly · 06-07-2013, 07:24 PM

Probabbly not, I'd have to ride one first. By the way, what's the sticker price?

landman · 06-07-2013, 07:37 PM

20k and no cruise or abs brakes is I think a major blunder on Honda's part.not even available as options.

That's a big error in judgment and would absolutely be a deal killer for me.

**ringadingh** · 06-07-2013, 08:04 PM

They cost about 30k up here.

I sat on one and it felt more comfortable than a reg wing. Felt like I could stretch my legs more. I kinda like it

It's the seat. Much more stretched out than the seat on a Wing.

The Honda engine is awesome but it sticks out too far. Can't get the right riding position. They need to do some product development for a new engine and make a cruiser that really is one.

My buddy who rides wings showed one to me a few months ago....the first words out of my mouth was "They tried to make a Vaquero, only its ugly"

Kevinhyland · 06-08-2013, 04:16 AM

I saw one at the dealership this morning while picking up an oil filter. It does look pretty sweet, looks like an 1800 CC sport bike but with extra stuff on it, the price on the one I saw was 22,500 + tax and fees. Hope It's more comfortable than the wing, my buddy has one and I rode it and the driving position is so cramped I couldn't wait to get back on my Vaquero. The Vaquero handles way, way, way better also.
