HONDA F6B Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

In 2013, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda F6B Deluxe version, a bike that brought several aesthetic and functional upgrades over the base model but retained the amazing character of the GoldWing and the custom bagger look of the new machine.

The riders that opted for the Deluxe package benefited from the upgrades brought by the 2013 Deluxe model, which included convenient heated grips that allowed more comfort in less-than-ideal conditions, a center stand, a passenger backrest, and self-canceling signals.

Other than that, the bike featured the same features and specifications as the base model, such as 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.

In the performance department, the 2013 Honda F6B Deluxe had its soul in 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 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 stopping power, the bike was handled by 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.

The Honda Gold Wing was a series of touring machines manufactured by Honda, powered by a flat engine, delivering the power to the rear wheel through a final shaft drive. The motorcycles were assembled in Marysville, Ohio, from 1980 to 2010, and from 2011, the production was moved to the Kumamoto Prefecture in Japan. Honda registered more than 640,000 units sold primarily in the United States market.

A Honda Gold Wing GL1000 manufactured in 1974 was one of Honda's 240 Landmarks of Japanese Automotive Technology, included in the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan. Until 2012, several Honda GL machines appeared in the Cycle World list of Ten Best Bikes worldwide.

Over its production time, the Honda Goldwing received many modifications, such as the 1975 model with a 999cc flat-four engine that evolved into a 1,832cc flat-six power plant by 2001. In 2012, the Gold Wing received ABS, cruise control, reverse gear, an optional airbag, a fairing with heating, an adjustable windscreen, panniers, a trunk, a passenger backrest, and a six-speaker audio system.

In 2013, the Japanese maker introduced a new version of the traditional Gold Wing available in two models, the F6B and F6B Deluxe. The F6B machine was a stripped-down version of the standard model, with most chromed elements replaced by a black finish, giving the bike an appealing look.

Some changes to the F6B included the removal of the rear trunk, a smaller windshield, and redesigning of both passenger and rider seats without an oversized backrest. In contrast, the Deluxe version packed a small passenger backrest, heated grips, a self-canceling turn signal switch, and a center stand.

In the power department, the 2014 Honda F6B boasted 118 hp at 5,500 rpm and 167 Nm (121 lb-ft) torque from a flat six-cylinder four-stroke liquid-cooled engine. The bike was fitted with a five-speed manual transmission and a final shaft drive to deliver the power to the rear wheel.
