2013 Honda Gold Wing F6B
New Way To Go Everywhere.
Think of it as the Gold Wing’s bad-boy cousin. The all-new Honda Gold Wing F6B takes the superb six-cylinder engine and advanced chassis of the touring legend, then strips off the rear top box, chops down the windshield, and covers everything in midnight black to create a premium cruiser like nothing else on the road. Long, low, lean and mean, the F6B is built for the boulevard, and built to turn heads. Thanks to its touring-bike underpinnings, it hasn’t forgotten how to carry you long distances in ultimate comfort, too. Where the Gold Wing coddles you and your passenger in a luxurious cocoon, the F6B lets the wind and the scenery wash over you. The fairing still protects you from the elements, but the shorty windshield gives you an unobstructed view of the road ahead. The F6B’s slimmer design also improves its power-to-weight ratio, which makes the legendary 1,832 cc six-cylinder engine even more impressive when you twist the throttle. And the lighter weight helps the F6B handle with an agility that you really have to experience to believe. Four-speaker sound system with iPod and USB interface, Dual-Combined Braking System with ABS, spacious saddlebags... the Honda Gold Wing F6B leaves other premium cruisers way, way behind.
Whether you have an hour, a weekend or a week to leave it all behind, here's a new bold and blacked-out-styled machine to satisfy that urge to get away from it all-the brand-new Gold Wing F6B. This machine is loaded with all the good looks and key features you want, and it's all set for short hops or weekend trips. It starts with a powerful fuel-injected 1832cc six-cylinder engine that provides an unrivaled level of performance in the class. Honda's unique, horizontally opposed six-cylinder layout also contributes to an exceptionally low center of gravity. That design, along with a large and stout twin-spar aluminum frame plus a sophisticated suspension system, gives the Gold Wing F6B remarkable nimbleness and maneuverability for superior handling. The blacked-out styling treatment with long and low lines gives the Gold Wing F6B an aggressive look, while large-capacity saddlebags, a comfortable gunfighter-style seat, premium audio system and more means there's no need to rough it on the road. Available in standard or deluxe trim and offering a wide assortment of Honda Genuine Accessories and Honda Signature Accessories, the 2013 Gold Wing F6B leaves plenty of room to add your own personal touch.
Honda’s new Gold Wing F6B takes the world’s greatest touring motorcycle—our own Gold Wing—and puts a whole new spin on it. Lighter, trimmer, leaner. Perfect for around-town, shorter trips, or even a weekend getaway, the Gold Wing F6B still offers plenty of storage capacity and performance, along with many of the Gold Wing’s comfort and luxury features. Best of all, it has a clean, fresh look that’s all its own.

Seems with the new phpBB software they have blocked specific words that were used commonly by spammers such as "Cas-ino". Try emailing me your message and I'll see what work it is rejecting.ceemes wrote:Mike, when I try to post my comments on this bike, I keep getting this:

Re: This week: 2013 Honda Gold Wing F6B: Vote Now
I actually had a GL1200 at one time and I removed the top trunk and the pillion backrest and rode around with just the saddlebags. I used to get a lot of compiments from people (especially non riders) on how great the bike looked. So since they stole my idea, and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I give it an awesome.

Re: This week: 2013 Honda Gold Wing F6B: Vote Now
Does it have the option to add a rear case and bigger windshield?
I like the look. I want to see one in person.

Re: This week: 2013 Honda Gold Wing F6B: Vote Now
I like the looks, too. But the only way I'd buy a bike of this size is if I was riding a passenger, and I'm sure she'd want the security of the backrest behind her. So I'm not sure what to vote- I'll give it a Cool for good looks.

This is the direction the Valkyrie should have gone, not the Ruin... No, not a typo, that line was totally ruined by the Rune, an awesome power cruiser turned in to a bar hopper.

Re: This week: 2013 Honda Gold Wing F6B: Vote Now
I voted Fail.
The whole point of the 'Wing is that it's a full sized touring bike. Seems to me if you want to end up on something like this, it's more natural to up-option a lesser model than strip down the upper model.
Plus, those rearview mirror/turn signal assemblies are atrocious. Makes the whole thing look like a Tokyo Transit Authority scooter.

Re: This week: 2013 Honda Gold Wing F6B: Vote Now
To be honest, I never thought the Goldwing would ever look cool...practical, comfortable and the bike of choice for a long haul...definitely...but cool, NEVER...and yet here it is...
I voted: AWESOME
Just because I never thought I would want one until I "matured", but I think it's very cool...cruising or touring...
Later.
