Derived form the successful GoldWing flagship machine, the 2012 F6B retains around half of the original tourer. With the unmistakable front fairing and massive allure, with the 6-cylinder boxer engine and the ample bars, one simply cannot mistake the F6B for anything else, save a GoldWing.

The rear half of the bike is however, dramatically changed. The Goldwing was transformed into a low bagger, with integrated sidecases and a low, two-up one-piece seat, all oozing road-ready attitude. Much lighter and agile than the GoldWing, the F6B is probably one of the most beautiful bikes Honda reveled after 2010.

The Honda F6B took the motorcycling world by storm, as it embodied two of the iconic concepts in one bike which seemed almost too good to be real. The F6B brings all the acclaimed, proven touring capabilities of the GoldWing, including the iconic opposed-6 engine and excellent road stance and mixes it with the low-rider roadster attitude, an asset fans feared Honda forgot how to use.

The 2013 iteration of the F6B carries on the GoldWing heritage and brings forth a lightweight, modern build which offers an enhanced experience for both solo and passenger rides. Multiple optional features are available to help riders get the bike of their dreams.


2016 Honda F6B[edit | edit source]

If that’s what you’re after, Honda’s Gold Wing F6B is your kind of bike. Big, smooth, powerful. The Gold Wing F6B uses technology gathered from our own Honda Gold Wing, a bike that’s set the standards in Luxury Touring for the last 40 years. But the F6B is lighter, trimmer and leaner. You’re going to find that it’s perfect for around-town rides, shorter trips or weekend getaways.
