I can picture myself riding that Valk. I actually considered the F6B to be a step in the right direction and would have consider it except for the hefty price tag.

Two windscreens (one short, one tall), saddlebags, LED foglights, a backrest, a rear carrier rack and a leather touring bag highlight a wide range of accessories.Dude  ... I guess they'll be goldwingish bags though... -Mike "I can't see leather bags on that thing, maybe that's not what they meant... bag, not bag s"

Need to see it in person before I commit.
My first impression:
To much black(even on the blue and red) making it to subdued, ie. not enough flash.
Like the mechanicals, ABS not a biggie, do not want integrated braking
Colors ok but would like a silver or gray
Would like to see the accessories also
Thanks Honda, it is about time.

 If you are riding and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast. |

I'm sure it will be a blast to ride, but I'm going to reserve judgement on its styling until later.
Too bad, because I LOVED the EVO 6 the first time I saw pictures.

I checked out Discount Tire and a 225/50/17 is readily available and a close match in diameter, this bike is darksideable. http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dosHankook  Yokahama  General Altimax  Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500  many, many more..... |

If I wasnt fundily challenged I would be the first one at my dealer to buy one.I think the f6b was to see if valk riders would accept it as a valk.Which of course we won't.I really do not understand goldwing,f6b,ctx 1400, now the valkyrie.The wing and valk are enough in my opinion.

Well, at first blush, the front is odd .... Okay, garish, maybe even a little weird. I'm sure the 2015 models will include a Tourer, and because some folks will complain there ain't enough Tupperware on it (storage), they'll come out with the Interstate model in '16.
I just sold the Goldwing and have pretty much decided on the F6B as the next beast in the garage. The release of this bike has not caused a change of mind ...... yet!
I do believe the heafty price tag on it will make the '97-03 crop of Valkyrie's even more relevant. They are, after all, motorcycle looking motorcycles!

Hefty price tag? I think it's coming out around $17k? My 2001 Valk was listed new at $13999...so I'm not really seeing $3000 more after 12 years all that hefty...granted, I didn't pay list for it...but I don't really expect to pay list for a 2015 model either... That said, the 97-03's will always be relevant...'cause they just plain kick ass... |
