Looks like Honda has a new sporty version of the Goldwing.  FB6.  What's your thoughts?

Looks like they might be trying to compete with the Victory Vision, IMHO.

Not a fan of Japanese car or motorcycle styling.  To each his own.   :nixweiss:  Looks like they might be trying to compete with the Road Glide Custom.    :nixweiss:

Rear end looks better than the Victory......but still pretty chitty.

It has some design elements of the RG which I'd like to see on a future wet SERG. To hide the plumbing and direct heat you need the fairing and lowers to wrap like that which makes a fixed fairing necessary. If that was a prototype for a wet 2014 SERG I'd be putting money down right now.  Doc

Since I always liked the boxer six..... :2vrolijk_21:

Would I spend 20K for one?... I'd let someone take the depreciation hit then buy one.

I've seen worse. Doesn't jump out and grab me but it isn't bad looking. Would never buy one.

I like it. I'd still rather have a Kawasaki Concourse 14, but I like that bike. A taller windshield with motorized adjustment would be a great feature to have. Let Honda tweak it a couple of years more.

Nice bike. I'd buy one.

Wow, someone's going to look good traveling to the Honda Hoot. 

Why do we ride Harley's?  Because we can...
