Honda Gold Wing F 6 B
2018
2018
The 2018 Honda Gold Wing F6B represents a slightly more streamlined and aggressive take on Honda's iconic touring motorcycle. Building upon the Gold Wing lineage, the F6B sheds some of the traditional touring bike's bulk, aiming for a bagger aesthetic. It carves out its own niche in the market, competing with models like the Harley-Davidson Street Glide, offering a different flavor of long-distance comfort and style.
At the heart of the 2018 Gold Wing F6B lies its magnificent 1832.0 ccm (111.79 cubic inches) six-cylinder boxer engine. This four-stroke powerplant produces a substantial 167.0 Nm (17.0 kgf-m or 123.2 ft.lbs) of torque at 4000 RPM, ensuring effortless acceleration and ample power for passing. The large 24.98 litres (6.60 US gallons) fuel capacity allows for extended rides between fill-ups. This engine configuration provides a uniquely smooth and refined riding experience.
The riding experience on the F6B leans towards comfortable cruising, even with its bagger styling. The seat height is a manageable 734 mm (28.9 inches), even at its lowest setting if adjustable, making it accessible to a wide range of riders. The relaxed riding position and ample storage space contribute to its long-distance touring capabilities. While not as nimble as a sportbike, the F6B handles surprisingly well for its size, offering a planted and stable feel on the road.
The Honda Gold Wing F6B is aimed at riders who desire the comfort and power of a Gold Wing, but in a more stylish and less overtly touring-focused package. It appeals to those who appreciate a low-slung profile and simplified features compared to the full Gold Wing. The F6B offers a refined, powerful, and comfortable ride, making it a compelling choice for riders seeking a bagger with a distinctive personality and legendary Honda reliability. It's a solid option for riders who want to eat up miles with some style.
