The Honda F6B was built to rival the Harley-Davidson Street Glide. It's definitely a smoother ride and you can get lower in the turns than the Street Glide, but is it a better bike?

This bike is engineered beyond belief. Super reliable, super smooth, technology years ahead of its time, costs less and vibration free. For these reasons alone, it can never be compared to a Harley leaker.
Harley Davidsons are like God, I have no problem with God or HD's, it's the fan club that is so irritating.
0-60 mp 3.3 sec.
1/4-mile 11.84 sec. @ 110.97 mph
I own a 2015 F6b Deluxe. Above are the official times, There is defiantly a sweet spot between not allowing any tail wagging on launch and a 5700-5900 1st to 2nd gear change where 3.5 second launches are easily attainable after a few days practice. 4th bike in my life, and easily my favorite... great bike...
I was researching Baggers and looked up the F6B before... as I walked into a motorcycle store to waste some time... I saw a '15 F6B Deluxe in person... with a slanted look, blacked out engine, and a flat dark grey color... I fell in love right there and then... and walked out with it... this one in the video has a Corbin heated seat, an aftermarket windshield and the Helibars... I prefer the Honda accessory taller windshield (to barely look over)... also as of 2015 F6B models have cruise control, which is a blessing and saved me from the 5 O's with the radar guns ... That jixter guy is probably still wondering what passed him in those tight twisties... the Deluxe model has the passenger backrest (for comfort) and center stand (which helps with maintenance)... I like the look of the gunfighter seat, otherwise I would have chosen the shown Corbin heated seat btw... I don't miss the reverse or the trunk... just park pointing uphill and get the rear rack... it is a breeze to ride with a strong engine... your passenger will love you too... radio is great (I prefer listening to the front speakers over plugging my helmet into the connector and listening to the headset) and you can plug up your phone to stream your favorite playlist too (or buy a cheap bluetooth adapter)... maintain the locks on the bags every so often as they loosen up a bit over time and get LED lights for no bulb changing pain... if you wanna save a penny or two don't be scared to turn the wrench as maintenance is a little time consuming, however with maintenance book in hand and/or TH-cam advice you become the ultimate mechanic... I still can't believe that the airfilter is burried so deep inside the bike... the more important question is if would I buy the F6B agaiYESSSSSS...
great points marcus!!! just very hard to find a deluxe, low miles, ive been trying! thanks
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know a method to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost my login password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@James Terrance instablaster ;)
@Levi Kendrick I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Levi Kendrick It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
I think this is the nicest motorcycle I've seen on your channel, and I'm a millenial,not an old man.
This use to be my bike… I miss it
I absolutely love the look of the F6B. It is low, sleek and fast. I traded my 2017 Harley Road Glide for a 2018 Goldwing DCT Tour.. The technology of the Goldwing was the deciding factor for me.
By the way, " it's not what you ride, it's that you ride!" Good day to you
No boys not men, ride crotch rockets, everything else is fine
That's why Harley folk ONLY ride Harleys. It's a fashion thing. Leather, Bandanas, Pony Tails. You get the picture.
After owning a Vulcan 1600 Classic for 12 years I was in the market for something else, something more in the long range touring vein. I spotted a used 2014 F6B in black for sale locally at a decent price, it had roughly 67,000 kms (42,000 miles) on it but had been ridden by an experienced mature GW rider before I got it so I figured that it hadn't been abused.
It already had a some extras on it like a center stand, Garmin GPS, XM Radio, highway pegs, throttle lock....
My bike is a Canadian model so it came with ABS which I thought was quite important for a motorcycle this large and heavy.
When the seller invited me to take his F6B out for a rip through the countryside and see if I liked it I immediately fell in love with this thing, man Gold Wings Rock! It was a two and a half hour ride to get it back to my house from where this guy lived and it was a blast! Super highway bike! Lots of power, smooth power. And boy does my wife ever love this thing. This was the best choice for us, it ticked all of the boxes.
Over the course of the winter I have purchased a new air filter which I will install myself as soon as my bike is out of winter storage. I also purchased a whole lot of goodies for this bike during this time, a heated Corbin Dual Touring Saddle, Madstad windshield, 4 Pathfinder LED headlight bulbs and a pair of Pathfinder Fog/turn signal/DRL cowl lights, a Show Chrome luggage rack and a Givi v56 Trunk to mount on top of the luggage rack whenever we take a little trip.
Also need to buy a new set of tires for it this spring and get the brakes checked over.......then we should be all set to go!
Another great video. I currently ride the 2015 F6B deluxe. I've had two other wings; a 96' at the ripe "old age" of 34, and then the 01'. It's never been an "old man bike" to me! I've wanted one since around 1979. Semper Ride, Gunny J. OUT!
I just bought mine a couple months ago, uneven checked your site out before we left to see if you had one. I am definitely loving this bike!!! And I dig your videos!! I will be looking into the M1 gloves, once we get through this virus. Right now with only myself working, money is tight.
I actually almost got this bike before choosing my Victory Cross Country. I chose the XC because the Goldwing lacked the legroom I wanted. Being 6'2", legroom was very important. I do however love the looks of the F6B and all the bells/whistles. Keep up the great videos! Ride safe and God bless!
But xc which i have, now is hard to find parts. Hard to find anyone to work on. And tons of problems
@@jhezy2000 Join a Victory group, lot's of good people can help you source parts, and I've never heard of a Victory having problems, I know mine certainly hasn't. When I was working for VicBaggers we had bikes coming through for oil changes, brake pads, ect. during cross country trips with over 200k on them with nothing but general maintenance done to them. These bikes were built to last.
@@jhezy2000 all mechanical items will have a problem at some point, but Victory Motorcycles are one of the most problem free bikes on the road
I have a 1999 Valkyrie and have to say that I love it with a passion. Fast, stable, elegant, bad ass, sexy... Simply the best bike I have ride on.
Love the words of wisdom Sean. Its what life boils down to, any way you cut it. The Word.
Yo what's up car wizard! So true! Hope everything is going well with you!
I always appreciate your videos. I just bought a new 2018 Goldwing DCT yesterday and am getting the tour pack removed before I bring it home. It’ll be an interesting change from a Harley Ultra Classic.
great review sean, almost as enthusiastic he was as he did w/the vulcans!
Also, a tour pack keeps your Bat-cape from fully deploying...
I've owned both type of bikes. I had a 14 Streetglide Special and a 13 F6B. Hands down, the Honda was faster and smoother than the Harley. The looks of the Harley was better than the F6B in my opinion. It all comes down to the rider and what they desire out of the bike. I choose performance and technology over looks.
Smoother for sure - you can't compare Honda's bullet proof flat six to a Vtwin. Agree with you again on styling. However, if I wanted a bagger, it would likely be the new Chieftain Darkhorse ...definitely a bad ass bike with the 117 Thunder Stroke.
@@ronfriedman8740 Yes, the Chieftain Dark Horse is an awesome looking bike. Only thing I didn't like about it was the shape of the hard bags.
Funny just traded my 06 Road Glide end up with a o-16 Honda Valkyrie wow best Touring bike app ever had love it easy next to no maintenance wish I'd had it many years ago met Street Glide
Still love the f6b, the new non touring gold wing has a higher seat height, of course you get electronic windshield, wishbone front suspension, whole new frame with better handling, but I still love the f6b and am buying one, those heli bars are funky but I'm sure they custom tailor your ergonomics to better comfort, great motorcycles, still like the taller windshield,
How come it doesn't have a 6 speed manual with over-drive like the UK spec ones
I like this bike. I own an older Goldwing with custom paint, blacked out frame, and I took the tour pack off. But honestly the Harley just sounds better. That V-Twin rumble is what people like about the Harley. This Goldwing is more aerodynamic, looks sportier than a Harley, may be faster, better gas mileage, and handle better, but it doesn't have that rumble or rugged look of the Harley. I'm sure this is a great bike. There's an identical one for sale near me I'm tempted to go buy but I'm also always looking for a deal on the right Street Glide. I want a black one with black frame and black pipes, don't need all the chrome. This Goldwing looks like a modern sporty bagger, I wish they would have put a big V-Twin in it from the VTX 1800. If i was going on a long weekend trip with a buddy I'd take this bike though. They are super smooth and comfortable. Cruise would be nice but you can add an aftermarket solution.
Picking mine up in 2 hours.So stocked.2016 Matte white.
Your going to love it!!! You probably no now LOL...
I love Honda bike. Always heen a fan of the old PC 800, but I really love the F6B. I'm a 20 yr Army war Vet from PA, just too poor to afford anF6B.They are a great looking bike!!!
This bike has been on my mind for a while now.
Th best review of an f6b!!!
Those wind deflectors on the side are to draw air towards the rider. In the right order they grab cool air or hot air from the engine for winter riding
This is an awesome bike! You guys should stick the most recent bike that you have a video go up for on the landing page for your site (or a link to it on the landing page). Would make it a lot easier to tie the two together for interested folks. :).
I love your videos and have been really thinking hard about the f6b and boom I jump on TH-cam and you do this
Excellent bike love mine..
Foot positioning behind cylinder heads, a little getting used to..
But learn too love it in the fall 😎
Over 800 pounds and they don't have reverse? My Road King weighs around 800 pounds, no reverse. I must make sure I don't park where I would need to back up, up hill. I can't push it up the slighted incline.
2015 and newer models have reverse
Do a PC800. It's the v-twin MiniWing of the 90's.
“How wide are your legs” 😂 The side wind deflectors can be used to draw air toward you on hot days as well
Never been a Goldwing fan at all but this one looks OK. I'm not big in to back boxes etc but can see their use in certain cases. However I'd far rather they designed and made the bikes with removable boxes that looks as though it's never had boxes on it but also looks right, as this one does with them on. Those ones aren't really intrusive and nearly blend in with the bikes shape.
F6B for me ! The only bike I hanker for and quite rare here in the U.k Jees I wish you could ship world wide Sean I so want that 6B !!
You sure it's not competing with the road glide? or do they have a version where the front fairing moves?
I like how Sean shouts out at the folks going "45" mph to make it seem like he's not going 85 lol.
Bahahaha
GREAT looking machine! I want one!
Smoothness is more about engine layout than size. For example a V10 is actually not particularly smooth but a V12 is because of its natural primary balance.
That 0-60 sounded like a car was doing it. I can't feature myself not buying a really epic and powerful bike because it didn't have cruise control. Geez. I guess i have been into vintage motorcycles a long time.
Best bike to buy!!😎😎
Cool in the summer..
Warm in the winter..
Beautiful bike but how is the gas mileage gold wings that I know often only get like 30 miles per gallon
that corbin seat is probably 700$
I have one on my FZ10 and it was pricey but damn son if it wasn't worth it!
F6B is ten times better bike than a Street Glide .
Your miss informed...
@@northrider8628 I've owned both so go ahead and tell me how I'm misinformed. Its an opinion.
I still waiting for you to try and film a video of 2020 Triumph Rocket 3R.
I especially like the cheeseburger compartment 😝
I currently am on my 1st hd and like Honda too. That looks cool.
90s Valkarie has 6 carbs and sucks the fuel when going 85mpg. New ones might be fuel injected which should help.
Shouldnt you be comparing to Harleys Roadglide? With the fixed fairing rather than front end mounted like the Streetglide.
Does anyone know who owns this specific bike? I use to be the owner and would interested in buying it back
Quoting a Bible verse to me is the best part of the video. It's simply overwhelming...
It's not about the bike, it's about the driver. When you can out smart 3 biker club members with nice expensive Harleys that would smoke you in a heart beat that's a great driver. I had a 500 cc Harley and out smart them lol they was Shocked lol
but this is more the ahole-version of gold wing or doesn't they have navigation and car play?
I didn't know this existed! I might need to buy me one
Last year I didn’t know they existed either. I happened across a TH-cam video of one these bikes. 3 days late I found a dealership in Ohio that was selling new old stock 2016’s for $12500. I bought one and by far the best bike I’ve owned and I’ve owned just about every brand.
@@Miskini-tj6ec I have contemplated the full wing a couple times, but just too much mass (looks wise) I think this could be just right
Right on brother. The market is flooded with some real nice used ones. If you take one for a test ride you will buy one. Take care and stay safe
Miskini 2014 care to share which dealer has them?
I like how he rolled his lil pants up an didn't tie his boots, soocute!
how about not the 2014 /15 valkyrie, how about the Honda f6B baby brother, 2014 CTX 1300
What was the point of that CTX1300 they made?
If only they could figure out how to make the VTX 1300 engine look like this.
I tried my first wing in 2010 I’ve been riding them ever since.A 2000, 2005,2014,They truly are the king of the highway,Regular maintenance no troubles and ride ride ride clean it and ride ride ride LOL
sean any way you could make a video on how just because motorcycles are "dangerous", "unsafe" and "deadly" (even though they are) that we shouldn't own them? I'm really trying to convince my parents to let me get a bike but they arent budging and I've been wanting one for years. I know its sounds dumb but I dont want to go behind my parents back and just buy one, I want at least one of them on board. any tips/ advice?
The thing about it is this, bikes are not dangerous at all, unless you get involved in an accident, then you are the bumper or the fender and when you wreck, it's always bad news. The only way bikes are not dangerous is to never ever wreck on one and that is almost impossible if you do enough miles on a bike. A few people have been lucky and never wrecked, but those people are few. Some only ride for a couple of years and quit before a wreck, but if you are going to ride a lot of miles expect to crash at least once or twice, your fault or someone else, it's just a mater of odds catching up with you. Your parents are smart to not want you on a bike, but you have to live your life, it's not your parents call, unless you still live with them. You may need to move out first, don't lie to them though. You may delay telling them a few months until you have proven you can at least ride without crashing, but keep in mind, it takes years, at least one year of every day riding to get good at it.
Don't ride in the rain, keep good tires on it, always ware a full face helmet, not just for a wreck but for flying rocks and bugs and rain and wind, practice near perfect habits so you will always have them in the future, don't get lazy about safety. dump riding with idiot friends, only smart friends around you. Good luck.
I am used too big bikes i rode my fathers 1200 gw and 1500 absolute no problem just be carefull with gravel and need some good boots etc
Always wanted one but am afraid of limited leg room for my 6'5 height. Seems like the valve covers require an angle on the legs that just wouldn't be as comfortable as V twins. Love the sound and torque of that flat 6 though.
You will be fine with your hight. Im 5.11 and tip toe on the balance. I have to lean to flat foot. You can also ad foot pegs by the engine guard to stretch your legs. I have being salivating this by since 2013, its 2019 and finally got me one. With DCT automatic transmission and i love it.
Are the bars on this Goldwind Heli bars?
I’m not a goldwing person had a 2001 Valkyrie but I’d ride this one if it had cruise control.
The Honda CTX 1300 I always thought that was the mini bagger
It's not in the invetory
Farkel? They're wind deflectors. On a hot day you open them up and you get tons of air.
I'd say it's more of a road glide competitor, fixed fairing...
My dream bike, hate the seat and red stripe but love the bike, you guys always have those in the winter or when I have other financial responsibilities, you're killing me,lol
I want this like totally
Hey, not sure if anyone has caught this but, your intro has a bad edit. The blue jumps back in after a fade. If you got a guy that can fix that cool, if not I can get you covered. Love the channel.
If i had the money i would buy this but mine 02 fjr doing great but this is superb
Those don’t look like factory bars.
Well it seems like it is struggling to keep up with a street glide
This or a vaquero?
Look I dont care what anyone says I have a goldwing and I want this
Damn. They was rideing bikes in biblical days 165 year old women rideing 65lb bike
117 years later and everyone is still trying to compete with Harley, and Harley just keeps on doing their thing.
" Harley-Davidson, often imitated, but never duplicated"
honda has zero reason to try to compete with HD...honda sales blow HD out of the water
you mean roadglide streetglide has fork mount fairing honda there has frame mounted fairing no offense.
its not the bigger the engine the smoother the more cylinders help offset the vibration that's why v12 ride so smooth with little engine vibration
But......will it wheelie?
Does anybody have any information on those handlebars and risers?? Those aren’t stock!
biker aaron he said in the video what they were
Helibars= expensive
That's a good-looking bike, but I think some of my friends would disown me if I bought this and not a Harley...lol!
I ran a 12.9 @101 on my goldwing on a 85 degree day! Not a f6b tho, mines full size.
I watch a variety of different bike reviews, and I never know it’s your review until you read the Bible... always a pleasent surprise.
Honda needs to bring back the Valkyrie. That was a bike to compete with Harley.
The new gold wing is a awesome bike...
That f6b would probably smoke my road king m8?
It definitely would. I have a Road King with a Stage IV and the RK is only quicker 0-70. After 3rd gear the F6B starts to ease away. Top end is a no-brained...
Mutch better than any hd
What the hell do all those buttons do? Looks like a damn cockpit in a ✈️!
Say Brotha , nice bike ! However ... not smoother than my BMW 1600 B ! And certainly not faster ☝️ ( guess you haven’t ridden a Beemer yet ) other than that I like your videos & I ❤️ Jesus . So .. GOD BLESS !
I want a vintage naked Goldwing.
Love all the videos. God bless brother thanks for the lords reminders.
Love this bike!
i wouldnt be caught dead putting both feet down at a stop
That Car in the Passing lane at 45 mph is more than likely a California driver, its typical, they don't understand the concept of what a passing lane is
Dont forget about mopeds
I want one
Will you and your guys be jumping on some Harleys and joining the bring it Home Rally???
Thomas Charles that happened before your comment was posted.
@@bonnevillebagger9147 Yeah i figured i am in the UK and didnt allow for time difference... thanks for the reply tho.
Lmao! Even young guys go to the store or take a road trip. That tour pac comes in real handy when you’re hauling a bunch of crap. Never been a fan of how the GW lineup looks. I know they have the specs; just can’t get past the looks and sewing machine sound. Lol...it’s all good tho. Ride what you like.
TOO much plastic on those damn things.. look up how to change the air filter! Harley just minutes, on this hours and hopefully you don't break any plastic tabs in the process.
What’s the point of buying the Goldwing without the tour pack? If you can get over the name, and the badges on the bike, Honda kicks all bike makers butts.
Actually heard the wheel spin haha
Keep it up Honda!
