The stripped bare Goldwing F6B is due to hit Australian shores in April, 2013, and will sell for $24,990.
A reincarnation of the Goldwing, the F6B is lighter, trimmer and leaner while still offering plenty of storage capacity and performance, along with many of the Goldwing’s comfort and luxury features.
The aim of the Goldwing F6B was to produce an agile bike that would be comfortable to use on congested city streets but fun on a winding road -- and of course perform on the open highway.
The F6B jettisons the standard Goldwing top box, and has a smaller screen. There’s also a four-speaker sound system. The machine houses the Goldwing’s legendary 1,800cc, horizontally opposed SOHC, two-valve, six-cylinder engine.
There’s a twin-spar aluminium frame, dual Combined ABS braking, and storage is provided by the lockable twin rear bags and a cubbyhole in the centre console.
Colours are magna red or graphite black. The Goldwing F6B will be available exclusively through Honda Goldwing dealerships.
