  • Honda F6B video review. I guess that most of you never heard about this model before. It is actually almost the same as the famous Honda Goldwing. The owner of the bike John agreed to share his experience with the model with the idea to provide some useful information.

    My brother has a GW6 - not my cuppa tea! I've done lots of k's behind the bars on it and the handling is ponderous at best. But the motor; the motor!!! Linial is apt - bags of power from zero revs and it just builds and builds and builds from there. Everyone should put a ride on GW on their bucket list - up front or hanging off the back. You have to experience that motor. You will be spoilt for the rest of your life.
    The GW6 makes you plan ahead. You plan ahead for cornering; you plan ahead for braking; you plan ahead for parking; you plan ahead for everything.

    Good video! Does anybody know what the bar on the handlebars for the GPS mount is called? Or where to get it?

    Picked up a 2016 model last year. Best motorcycle Ive ever owned. Very pleased. Would value info on the handlebar and most importantly the clamps used to secure the bar. Ive been trying to figure out how to add a few farkels and youve done it. Where did you find the clamps ?

    I don't think you've reviewed the newer Honda VFR 1200X, which is a rather tall seat height adventure bike, yet. Let us know when you do! It has the option of the DCT shift and has a shaft drive, neither of which you prefer vs manual shift and chain drive.

    It has reverse?

    • @RufusCapstick
      @RufusCapstick 5 лет назад

      No, the F6B doesn't have reverse, but I've never needed it. The early ones didn't have cruise control either.
      I've had over 35 bikes, this is the only one I wish had ABS, it's so heavy it takes a lot of stopping. Looks like this one has ABS tho, mine is a US model with linked brakes.

  • @RufusCapstick
    @RufusCapstick 5 лет назад

    I have one, same colour, I love it, best bike I ever had. That's not the stock screen btw, the sock one is shorter and terrible over 80kmh, the buffeting and noise is unbearable.
    It's so smooth and comfortable, it's almost cheating.

    • @eugstefan22
      @eugstefan22 5 лет назад

      what's the fuel consummation on such a bike and how many liters of oil does the engine needs?

    • @RufusCapstick
      @RufusCapstick 5 лет назад +1

      @@eugstefan22 I get at least 230 miles to a tank, without the light coming on. So that's at least 34 mpg, don't know if that's good or bad, cos it's not one of my considerations. About 3.7 litres of oil in it.

    • @jtdundee
      @jtdundee 4 года назад +1

      I ended up putting a full sized Goldwing windshield on mine, and it went from being in buffeting and noise hell to an island of calm.

      You are joiking, but I have R1200RT and went with my friend for a ride. She has got a scooter and when she was checking my bike, she laughed a lot and asked where I have air conditioning and why my panniers are not cooled :D

      @henryhonda8408 5 лет назад

      I have a 2012 Goldwing with 142,000 trouble free kilometers on it. I call the vent on lower part of the windshield my air conditioner. The red/black color on the 2014 F6B is to this day my favorite color on the F6B.

  • @herbwag6456

    I like it, but WAY too big and heavy!

    • @henryhonda8408
      @henryhonda8408 5 лет назад

      It doesn't feel heavy at all the second you start moving and it's 100 pounds lighter then the regular Goldwing which I've been riding for 8 years. I'm 67 now and it still doesn't feel too heavy for me to handle.

    @buddhastaxi666 4 года назад

    I am about to import a F6b from Queensland to WA. Im transitioning from a zx14r and upgrading an old Nomad which I hardly ride now. I live in the south west 100s kilometres from a cit y so this bike will suit me. I was going to ride in the US next year but considering Trump has ruined the place I have cancelled the Hired Harley cruise up The Pacific Highway tgrough the Redwoods to Canada and Vancouver. So bought a f6b instead n will crewz WA.

  • @buddhastaxi666
    @buddhastaxi666 4 года назад

    I bought one imported from Queensland. Do not waste your time or money. Useless screen, seat, bars. Boring motor. Selling mine after 3 months and losing $5000 .Do not bother with it as it fails. Plus has mechanical proplems with front end. Mine sameyear and colour. That stock screen givesyou extreme buffeting over 60 kays. That seat cuts into your thighs when you stop. Thosebars flex half an inch and give vaque feedback. Andthe motor is Boring...low revving no powerband lw powermundane BORING. I am 67 and riding since 17 and this bike fails dismally.

    Rented it in Dubai, it's called valkyrie there, even got it offroad, it feels like a car, less my liking.
