Review

The 2016 Honda Gold Wing F6B Deluxe is a cruiser motorcycle that offers a streamlined, bagger-style alternative to the flagship Gold Wing. Positioned as a more accessible and stylish option, it retains many of the Gold Wing's core features while shedding some weight and touring-oriented accessories. Direct competitors at the time included bikes like the BMW K1600 B, which also aimed for a blend of touring capability and cruiser aesthetics. The F6B Deluxe aimed to capture riders seeking comfort and long-distance capability with a distinctive style.

At the heart of the F6B Deluxe lies its impressive 1832.0 ccm (111.79 cubic inches) six-cylinder boxer engine. This powerplant produces a substantial 116.7 HP (85.2 kW) at 5500 RPM, providing ample power for effortless cruising and confident acceleration. The engine's torque output is equally impressive, generating 167.0 Nm (17.0 kgf-m or 123.2 ft.lbs) at 4000 RPM. This broad torque curve ensures strong pulling power across a wide range of engine speeds. The fuel capacity is 23.50 litres (6.21 US gallons), allowing for reasonable distances between refueling stops.

The riding experience on the 2016 F6B Deluxe is characterized by its smooth power delivery and comfortable ergonomics. While not as overtly touring-focused as the full Gold Wing, it still provides a relaxed riding position suitable for longer journeys. The seat height of 724 mm (28.5 inches) allows many riders to easily plant their feet on the ground, adding to the sense of control. The low center of gravity, inherent to the boxer engine design, contributes to stable handling, especially at lower speeds. The integrated saddlebags offer practical storage for weekend trips.

The Honda Gold Wing F6B Deluxe appeals to riders who appreciate the Gold Wing's legendary smoothness and reliability but prefer a more stylish and less bulky package. It's a motorcycle for those who want to cruise comfortably on weekends or take medium-length trips, enjoying the distinctive sound of the six-cylinder engine and the convenience of integrated storage. While it might not offer the full suite of features found on the standard Gold Wing, the F6B Deluxe presents a compelling option for riders seeking a refined and stylish bagger experience.
