Honda is launching a veritable fireworks display of novelties at the EICMA Motor Show in Milan: After the three new CB500s (CBR500R, CB500F and CB500X), the world’s leading manufacturer of motorized two-wheelers continues its show with the Golwing F6B, a "bagger" version of its legendary six-cylinder roadster !

Honda Goldwing: golden customizations

This is not the first time that the Goldwing has been customized: Site readers – who, as everyone knows, have a little more memory than others – no doubt remember the F6C designed on the basis of the GL1500, an almost completely decarenated version launched at the end of the 90s and which will be renamed "Valkyrie" in the USA. A little later, the GL1800 will be used as support for the spectacular which was never imported in France.

Stripped of its high screen, part of its fairings and its spacious top case, the Goldwing F6B ("B" for "bagger") imposes a max !

More slender because of its lightened rear making furious reference to the dolls of American cars of the 50s, this Honda F6B calls out, surprises, seduces or repels.

One thing is certain: it leaves no visitor indifferent to the Milan Motorcycle Show, to the delight of Honda! Considered too timid in recent years stylistically, the world’s leading manufacturer is indeed proud to attract attention with this unexpected "bolidage" applied to its emblematic flagship road !

In terms of cycle and engine parts, the F6B "golden wing" is based on the same elements as the standard Goldwing. Ascendant bagger bikers will thus be able to taste the charm and the smoothness of the flat-six 1832 cc, a mechanical monument capable of delivering 118.3 hp and above all 167 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm with a unique sound..

Prices, colors and availability

The Honda Goldwing F6B will be available from March 2013 in the Honda network at a price of 23,490 euros (or 5,000 euros less than the original) in black or red.

Lighter by 28 kg (384 kg all full) than the original model, this new 2013 Honda exhibits redesigned saddles in favor of the look.

However, the heating system for these seats is now optional. The Goldwing F6B however retains its combined ABS braking and its powerful sound system (MP3 or iPad compatible).
