The REAL Harley Killer? Honda Goldwing F6B Review, Ride, Impressions, Walk Around, 0-60 mph!
Today we're taking the beloved Honda Goldwing F6B 1800cc MONSTER bike out for a spin. This is, in my opinion, one of the best kept secrets of the motorcycle community. Tag along as I take this touring bike for a cruiser and share my thoughts and opinions on why I dig the bike so much. Harley Killer? I'll let you be the judge of that. Awesome bike? I think so!

I really like the Valkyrie version even better.

[@luiscarrion696]

I ride an 2014 F6C Valkyrie. None of my Harley Friends can keep up. In fact, after going over a suspension bridge and having Harley parts fly off and almost hit me, I ride in front of my Harley Brothers.

The F6B is now the Goldwing non-tour model. Goldwing is the king.

[@johnford5568]

Yes, non tour dct. Honda designates the model with a "B". The F6B secret was the chop and the seat which made it much roomier than the previous goldwing which jammed your knees and nuts up in favor of the "queen's throne" behind you. The F6B was passed over by many due to lack of key features like cruise control. The non-tour learned not to omit certain features and leave others behind. I do not need electronic suspension or a heated seat.

[@kevinclark8764]

[@larryambrose5078]

I rode HD Baggers for 31 yrs and still Love Em, but my 2013 F6B (Flat 6 Bagger) is now my only street bike. Bought it Dec. 2019 from pvt party with 10,000 mi on it. It had HeliBars, Mustang Saddle, ClockWerks Windshield, 2Brothers Exhaust slip-ons. Love the HeliBars and the Windshield. The seat was 1" lower than stock, did not like sitting that low, took to a shop and had 2" added to the riders seat area and now it's Perfect! The exhaust had a Great Sound but at hwy speeds a Horrific Drone Noise. I had "Torque Loops" installed which eliminates the dual Cats and eliminates the Drone Sound! I've put 22,000 miles on it this year and most always pulling my trailer with my 2 Girls, 75 lb Labs! I absolutely LOVE this Bike!!! Ride On Bro, Adios and Los Vamos!

[@raylilliquist3275]

The 2015-2017 F6B Deluxe does come with cruise control. I average 42-46mpg on my F6B. Depends on winds, what I have loaded on the bike and temp. My most favorite bike I have ever owned.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Nice! I knew at some point they added cruise control standards. Couldn't remember the yrs. I knew 22 sounded way too low. I like the numbers you're getting much more. Thanks for watching!

[@96BlackSVT]

I have a 2016 F6B ( standard Model } and it has cruise on it . I have been riding bikes for a great part of my life and have owned more than a few of the heavy hitter over the years. I find the F6B to be a great all around bike. Little heavy if just crawling around below 5 mph , but after that it has great balance. Also very nimble for such a heavy bike.

[@superturboawesome1]

Gold Wings always made me think "oh, a Grandpa's bike"... boooring... But Grandpa got back into shape and he's gonna woop yo ass! Hahaha... this new one looks sleek and sharp!!!

[@JonsMotoGarage]

[@RufusCapstick]

Never ridden a Goldwing but I just bought an F6B and rode it 1400 miles home through gale force winds, hail and rain. With my partner on the back. Never got less than 220 miles to a tank. It ran faultlessly and is amazingly comfortable and smooth. The heated grips were a life saver. The stock screen looks cool but is awful on the freeway. I totally love this bike.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Heck yeah! Super smooth ride! I hope one day to do a long ride on the f6b. Thanks for watching and commenting! Ride safe!

I'm on my third Goldwing. I've had many bike's and always go back to the wing. I do love the F6B but have gotten used to all the storage. But what an Awesome machine. They did great with this bike! My full Goldwing handles the same. I live in the mountains and people can't believe the way it takes the curves...

[@luisjromero]

Great video, thanks a lot. I have a HD 2004 Heritage Classic and a 2013 F6b. Love both but not possible to compare. I was a HD fan and I was looking for a new bike (possibly a Road Glide). Never thought in a GW...but when I knew about the F6b, found causally one in a Honda dealer and tried it, I fell in love and still I am. I’m from Spain, it’s very very unusual to find one here and that make the bike special. Last summer I was in the Alps for 2 weeks. I couldn’t follow my friends riding BMW 1200GS in that mountain roads plenty of tight curves but after watching your videos I have to be honest and say that was because I have not skills enough to take advantage of all the qualities of this bike. Personally like much more the look of this model than the new one (2018 I think) Improved the bike with a smoked Klock Flare windshield, a Mustang Tripper Fastback Deluxe Seat and a center stand...looks massive and awesome. Always people looking around and far from a grandpa's bike. After 7 years no one problem. Yes, I agree with you. It’s a gorgeous motorcycle. Thank a lot!

Thanks for the great review! Have you tried a Goldwing touring version? I'm starting to think I might be ready for Goldwing, just wondering if the suspensions on the touring version is so much better than the F6B? The roads around here are pretty bad. My Africa Twin is pretty comfortable, but I think this might ride even smoother...

[@pittss2c601]

Very good review and you ride it very well. I agree with everything you said except the gas mileage. I have a 2014 Honda Valkyrie. It handles like a dream. Silky smooth engine like an electric motor, great suspension, great brakes, rigid frame with sport bike sized tires. I had a Hayabusa for 13 years and traded it in for a leftover new Valkyrie and haven't regretted it once. Honda obviously makes great engines but they also make awesome motorcycles.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Yeah, the gas mileage was clearly way off. I need to double check my research next time. Lol. I would love to get a valkyrie at some point. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I had the first year GL1800 (2001) and it would pull 220 km per hour just passing cars without any effort at all. The faster you go the more stable it got. The dealer said it would go 245 but I never tried that!

Your right it’s such a good bike and feels like it weighs a lot less then it really does, I’m a retired Harley-Davidson mechanic and when I rode a Honda Valkyrie once I was sold on it ended up buying one for $2000 with I think like 7-8 k miles on it now it has 90,000 showing it’s my long distance go to bike, I’ll ride my Harley and other bikes around town but long distance the big Honda hands down

[@boreed5734]

I have an old school '99 GL-1500 Valkarie that eats Harleys for breakfast. It's old school with 6 carbs with basically the same engine transplant as the Goldwing but with hotter cams & gear ratios. It's pretty much a forgotten bike with so many muscle cruisers on the scene. The gold wing is the gold standard but my Valk runs perfect with no fuel injection, no ABS, no fuel gauge, no LED instrumentation, no cruise control, and no GPS but the engine, brakes, acceleration and handling are all top notch and it's 20 years old. I guess it's a poor man's Goldwing.

[@upsidedowndog1256]

@@JonsMotoGarage Don't confuse a Goldwing with a sport touring bike, they are very different. A sport touring bike is derived from a sportbike, light and nimble with accoutrements towards touring. Any touring bike made sport like comes from heavy stock. Honda did good with this new one but a ZX14 derived Concours would be my choice. H2SX even more so. Boost is good! Edit: and quite addictive. Power wheelies are great fun! I have an old turbo 750, no new ones. Boost is good. Sport touring bike from 1985. Runs away from most anything short of race replica bikes. I like the CBR600RR.

[@BizOrNot]

Great review! I agree 100% I have been riding dirt & street for 40 yrs. I loved the F6B when it came out in 2013, but thought Honda was nuts not to include electronic cruse control and ABS, especially at 840 lbs. In 2016 I pulled the trigger on a matte-white F6B, but the key was I IMPORTED IT FROM CANADA! In Canada they only sold the Deluxe (cruse, center stand, heated grips) AND ABS!!! With the exchange rate I landed it in my driveway in Colorado (Purchase, taxes, duty, customs fees, shipping) for LESS than the "out the door" price of the non-abs bike at the Denver Honda dealer. I had an ST1300 ABS before the F6B, and on the mountain twisties I was constantly having to shift up and down to stay in the power band. The F6B pulls so strong in every gear that it is damn near like an automatic. Best bike I've ever owned. BTW I think the new GW (F6B) replacement looks like the F6B & ST1300 had a love child. I prefer the F6B, but I'm sure the new GW is a blast, too.

Jon, if you liked this get your hands on a 2014/15 Limited Edition Honda F6C Valkyrie All the Power and Handling of the Goldwing and Goldwing F6B but a slightly tweaked up motor and only about 700 lbs , i love mine !!!

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I've heard great things about the valkyrie and will snatch one up if the right deal comes along. That's great to hear (especially from a retired harley manager. Lol). Thanks, brotha!

[@brucesantacory1390]

@@JonsMotoGarage Well for Whatever Reason the Public didn't like them, they are an Odd looking bike, but because they were in my opinion Over priced at an MSRP of $18,995 they just didn't sell, Thus in 2018 Honda Released a bunch of left overs brand new in the crates, one of my local dealers up here in NH got a bunch of them and were selling them New with full Warranty for $9995, after a test ride on their demo, i bought one, and turns out Honda only made $5000 of them world wide for the 2014/15 model years (that's both years only 5000) so now that all but 1 or 2 of the leftovers are gone, like the Rune the prices of the 1832cc Valkyries are going up, with used ones selling in the $12000 range, and i have been offered more than i paid for it when i bought mine last sept 2018, but mines not for sale, never ridden a more fun and powerful bike in my life and i've been riding for 54 years.

[@afgcop]

@jons moto garage. Hey brother , I’m wondering what brand that passenger seat is? Is it honda or aftermarket? I’ve got an F6b 2016 deluxe and am looking for a passenger seat with the higher coverage. Can you please let me know ASAP if you know ? Thanks. Great vid and fantastic riding skills.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I'm pretty sure the passenger backrest was an aftermarket option (not from Honda). The Honda one is a lot smaller, as you pointed out. It was on the bike when I bought it so not sure of the exact brand, but pretty sure it's corbin. Good luck!

[@afgcop]

Jon's Moto Garage thanks. I figured Corbin is the way to go except the price lol

[@jasonahbh4880]

I never like big bikes.. I drove one of those Goldwing and I felt like I'm riding a mad horse 😁

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Hahaha...different strokes doe different folks. Definitelt a big bike.

[@tms372]

Harley's, for me were dead long before the Gold-Wing was installed.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Hahahah...I hear ya!

[@TaterGrabbinBass]

I’ve been looking for one of these for the right price. I’ve had sport bikes from GSXR600/750, Yamaha R6, BMW s1000rr and s1000r, and I currently ride a Softail Street Bob and I’ve wanted a F6B for about 5yrs now. I think I’m going to save up some $$ and buy one for my road trip bike. I’ve never ridden one but I did ride an older Gold Wing from the mid 90’s and I loved that bike, it was just too much for me as a solo rider. But I think the F6B looks bad ass! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼 Wow, I just realized you’re in Arizona, I live in Phoenix. If you ever want to sell that thing hit me up! 😂🤣😂

[@k3rkis]

awesome bike! is ir true that all fb6 do not have reverse or its a matter of configuration?

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Thanks, man! To my knowledge, none of the f6bs have reverse. I think it's only offered on the full goldwing.

[@Planet2A]

Im 6-4, with a 34in inseam, hiw uncomfortable will this be? Can it be modded cheaply to accomomidate taller riders

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I know lots of guys add on highway pegs. Not sure on exact price, but pretty sure they're not too expensive. I think that would be your best bet for stretching out the legs on longer rides.

[@drjd2real]

How is the acceleration compared to the m109r?

[@alexquevedo831]

I love these bikes such nice lines

[@acim2228]

where did you get the ying yang emblem I like them.

[@dickravis]

I have a 17 Road Glide Special, but this thing has definitely got my interest.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Oooh! I really like the road glides too!

[@ccasche5088]

I went the other way. Love them both; F6B sportier and firm, RGS is more plush and slower. Can't go wrong either way.

[@dickravis]

I'm afraid to give the Honda a test ride - I think my Harley days would be over.

[@mrolsen6987]

"what comes to your mind?" I remember when I was just a boy in the early 90's a neighbor had a goldwing, when he drove by and listen to music loud and clear My jaw just droped to the ground 😮 It looked like a crossing between a motorcycle and a car in My eyes! 😂

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Hahaha! That's awesome! I didn't even mention the fact that it has radio. Lol.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Sometimes I forget the most fundamental stuff. Hahaha.

[@ridingwithjon3048]

That thing looks like a space ship, in a good way. I do have to say it still seems like a bike for an older dude. I still want a light, nimble bike. I don't might the extra work to keep it steady on the highway.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Hahaha! It does have a spaceship vibe to it.

[@Kickstart500]

You’d be amazed at how light and nimble a Goldwing feels. Especially compared to a big air cooled twin.

[@Believe231]

@@Kickstart500 Agreed, actually feels easier to tool around on than my old Sportster 883 evo (when it was at standard height). Just don't put yourself into a situation where you can't get it out of its parking spot without forward throttle, as you may think you can muscle it out, but it may not be possible without help!

[@Kickstart500]

Believe231 those tight parking spots is what the wing has reverse for! It’s awesome to park on a downhill slope that would take help pushing out of.. just push a button and creep backwards uphill👍

[@douglashawkins4402]

For me, if I'm going to spend a boat load of money, I want performance and reliability. You don't get that with HD. I know they've improved, but for the money they should be at the top and they simply are not. Great job on the video!

[@rogerdunaway9079]

I've had mine for two years now. Loved the power and the comfort from the start, but with a 36" inseam I felt cramped . I had the seat reworked,up and back 2", added handlebar risers and now fits like a glove. This bikes performance will surprise a lot of people.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Nice! Yeah, it's interesting that some people bash these for their sound when it actually sounds like a sport bike with stock exhaust. You get on it and it's got a nice tone to it. Super fun bikes imo.

[@HolyBibleOpen]

Harley is Americana. I bought the new Goldwing dct and love it. But I'm a Harley man still. Always will be. Love my Goldwing.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Yeah, harley definitely has something unique about it. I dig my dynas and will likely have a harley in the garage at all times.

[@kevinstockman8866]

Harleys parts are made all over the world.google it.my goldwing out runs my ultra classic like its standing still

[@georgejohnson3982]

Love my '13 F6B Deluxe. My favorite do everything bike, from a long list of sport bikes, cruisers, and muscle bikes. What windshield are you using? The stock screen is terrible.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Not sure on the windscreen. I bought the bike from original owner and it was already installed. If I remember to, I'll check and follow up.

I believe this was a 2014 but could be mistaken. This was a few years back.

Not quite a fan of the goldwing for looks but they def do have the comfort! The new Indian Chieftains comin out are wicked sexy!!!

[@JonsMotoGarage]

My Austin trip would've been easy peasy on this bad boy. Lol.

[@heathenbiker]

The closest I've come to writing a Gold Wing is my 1999 Valkyrie which is of course of the same family line but not quite the same as goldwing The F6B seems like a good compromise between the two and I hope one day to own one of those beasts
