2013 Gold Wing F6B Overview - Honda Powersports

I like that Honda has decided to refresh the GW model. Without seeing other angles, it does take on an RK look in a way. By losing the trunk and BarcaLounger rear seat, it appears more an everyday bike option.

not on santa's list is it.....

Zounds, a Gold Wing Vaquero!

This is a great idea. I always admired the Gold Wing, but discarded the idea of getting one because so much of its design (and its price) depended on carrying a passenger - and I have no prospect of carrying a passenger.

If this bike had been available last year I would have given it a HARD look. <sigh>

Not for me. I don't like the look of it.

Click on the link Lu gave and you can see all angles. Not my taste but it is nice. Also when something "starts at $20,000" glad it's not my taste

I did click but no other images. When I went to the Honda site, I see the other images with the red/black option. Not in my price range either but I see their marketing push would be as an alternative to HD riders. When you do that, price is equal. And it's a bike that will run for 200k miles without too much effort. Curb weight at 842lbs is decent as well.

It looks nice.

I like it a lot too. The new CB1100 is also really cool, retro styling.

There you go Paul, now Dan won't be offended if you park next to his vic.
You know how he likes to stand out from the crowd, especially "those" sport-tourers.
