A few more copies of the F6B will be available this year … to say goodbye to this singular bagger. Honda did not offer him a passport to standards and his career ended. And yet, admirable first attempt. Mi-Goldwing mi-custom … Is it possible!?! What preparer would dare to try such a challenge ? Can we only consider stripping the Japanese golden bird, when its raison d’être is precisely the excess and the culmination of Great Motorcycle Tourism? ?
It’s possible, it’s called the F6B, and Honda made it.
Crazy ! But not only. The biggest Japanese manufacturer does not venture off the beaten track without a good reason. Here, it is the American market which speaks, and a tendency more and more marked for the baggers; you know, that mix of GT and custom, where the road can only be conceived with a pair of valos, a windshield and style. The F6B is the same principle: a stripped-down Goldwing which retains only the essentials, namely a piece of nose screen at the top of the fork crown and a set of suitcases. Bye bye the large windshield, the top-case, the passenger chair and footboards, the senatorial seat, the heated saddle, the reverse gear, the automatic blinker reminder, as well as the optional GPS and airbag . This makes it less bazaar, sanctioned by a drop in weight of 28 kilos and price of around 6,000 euros..
More slender, almost aerial, this Goldwing light has a new saddle, footrests and specific grab handles for the passenger, the side panels with the new design, and retains its audio installation compatible with USB, iPod, MP3, etc..
The F6B stands out clearly from all the other baggers: in addition to its affiliation with the most majestic of the GTs, it is also the only one equipped with a 6-cylinder. A velvety, inimitable suppleness and availability, perfect for lifting with enchantment the 384 kilos. Its 118 horses are not exceptional (the BMW 6 in line 1600 comes out 160) but its roundness and its approval are of a pedigree of majesty. The F6B will behave very similar to the Goldwing because the engine and the chassis have not undergone any modification. The super-bagger can take advantage of leading technical equipment, with its aluminum perimeter frame, its 45 mm fork with anti-dive system, its single-sided arm, pro-link type shock absorber, ABS braking combined with 2 front discs 296mm, rear 316mm disc and 3 piston calipers.
Small cosmetic touches finalizing its custom side, the F6B covers the engine, wheels, frame, belly pan, fork and side tubular protections in mat or gloss black. Chrome logos made exclusively for it are embedded in the fairing sides.
