Member Contributer GatorGreg Posted October 28, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted October 28, 2017 Holy crap this new couch on wheels looks nice - it makes my VFR look like a folding chair in comparison! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Stray Posted October 28, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted October 28, 2017 Folding chair is mobile - you can take it places. Couch is much more cumbersome and swallows up money between the cushions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiutis Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I would love to test ride this couch; hope it does not make me wanna trade in my VFR. I guess I should stay away from freeway test rides or it might just do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer mello dude Posted October 29, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted October 29, 2017 I am drooling at the new F6B... the bike doesn't look as dorky as the previous model. My wish list includes stripping many of the bells and whistles but Honda won't do that..... Oh yeah... I caught its 4 valves per cylinder ....... heh heh heh..... Oh oh....MBD attack!

Member Contributer Nelix Posted October 29, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted October 29, 2017 You might as well just buy a soft top car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MX5 would be a good one to have. That said, Honda did a great job on this bike if that's what someone wants to cruise long distances. It's a lot of overkill for a lot of people though, me thinks. The good news is we have choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Erm, like wow. I didn't expect that from Honda. New gold wing? I expected wider, longer, heavier and even more accessories you could never ever use but that, that I didn't expect. Lighter, funkier, better looking. Well done Honda! I'll keep my VFR though.

May be a couch but your ass might not hurt as bad after a long day. There's been many days I wish my ass didn't hurt as bad but this bike in the twisties 90% of the time might present other issues, so not for me. Might be good for you Gator in Mouseland......

I had an '03 Spyder with the 6spd SMT - it was a great car - at the time it was the only car ever tested to pull OVER .90g on the skidpad AND get OVER 30 mpg (according to EPA). I got compliments all the time from chicks and dumb guys on my "nice Porsche" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
