Had to stop in and pick up a couple parts at Al Lambs this morning...

Side note...out of there for only $14. Pretty sure that means I was never officially there, right? If you don't drop a $100 bill in the motorcycle shop or home improvement center, you're haven't *really* been there...

Anyway, they have 3 F6B's on the floor, and say they've already sold a half dozen or so...

Didn't have time to ride one this morning (plus, with this weather, I may not have come back...today anyway...) but I sat on one and got a close look...

More leg room than the 1800 wing. MUCH lower CG...perhaps even lower than the Valk's CG...haven't ridden one yet and can already tell you it's gonna be a nimble machine.

Love the blacked out wheels and valve covers...the red is very nice, but so's the black.

Wish the engine was more exposed...and the bagger part worries me...I've had a lot of mis-adventures on the Valk and if I did the same thing on the F6 it would be mucho-expensive...

But...it really is a looker and sitting on it...yeah...it's a standard and is very reminiscent of the Valk... Gauges/such are nicely laid out. Have never been a fan of the stationary fairing but it works well on this machine.

Fits me fine.

I could work with this...I'm wondering how hard it would be to pull the bags and add a rear fender/lights..."standardize" it a little more...

And that 1800 and fuel injection *drools*.

Going to have to find the time to go back and take a ride...they do have a demo unit there (the red one!). They have a mid-level windshield available as well if you don't like the shorty...

I can't afford one at the moment. I've had a couple tough years and 2013 is going to be another one...but I've got my eye on this one...

I bet it would be really hard to even have just a solo seat on it. Its not like on a
Valkyrie where you take off the saddlebags and there's a nice motorcycle underneath...

HEY DANIEL,  What did they say when you asked them if you could throw a bucket of dirt on it.  2funny

Daniel, that F6b sure looks sweet to me too .It s the ST the VALK and the WING put together!
I d imagine the bags would be the detachable ones as in the ST. very convenient.  cooldude
I ll have to buy a lotery ticket or wait ten years for a clean one! Grin
