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!

You might as well just buy a soft top car.

 

I've thought the same.  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.

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.

Both fun machines, including the Goldwing.  Solution:  get all three.

Holy crap this new couch on wheels looks nice - it makes my VFR look like a folding chair in comparison! :tongue:

 

 

 

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 believe all of Honda’s DCT bikes have them.

And an airbag :tongue:  Although they've actually been putting them on the previous gen Gold Wing for a number of years as well.

You never seen a Wing before Greg?

 

This thread is about the 2018 version - it was just revealed to the public 5 days ago - so no, I haven't seen an '18 Wing yet :tongue:

Awesome!  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" :tongue:

Wow. Technology leader. Hopefully see some of those on bikes lower down the scale soon.
