In 2013, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda F6B, a touring motorcycle derived from the GoldWing flagship machine that retained around half of the original tourer, with its unmistakable front fairing, massive allure, a six-cylinder engine, and ample handlebar.
The rear end of the bike was dramatically changed and transformed into a low bagger, with integrated side cases, a low, two-up one-piece seat, and a road-ready attitude, which resulted in one of the most beautiful motorcycles manufactured by Honda after 2010.
The bike featured blacked-out wheels, engine, and frame, a short windscreen, a gunfighter-style seat, adjustable suspension, and premium surround sound, plus incredible performance that set the bike into a class of its own.
As for performance, the 2013 Honda F6B was powered by a 1,832cc four-stroke six-cylinder liquid-cooled boxer engine that delivered an output power of 118 hp with maximum strength at 5,500 rpm and 167 Nm (121 lb-ft) of torque available at 4,000 rpm.
For suspension, the bike massive tourer packed a 45 mm fork on the front with an anti-dive system and a Pro Arm single-sided swingarm with a Pro-Link electronically adjustable shock absorber on the rear.
As for braking performance, the model featured two 296 mm discs with three-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 316 mm disc with a three-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
