Honda Gold Wing F 6 B Deluxe
2018
2018
The 2018 Honda Gold Wing F6B Deluxe represented Honda's attempt to capture a different segment of the touring market, offering a stripped-down, bagger-style alternative to the fully-dressed Gold Wing. Think of it as a more rebellious sibling. It aimed to provide long-distance comfort with a more streamlined aesthetic. Competitors included models like the BMW K1600 B, which offered a similar blend of touring capability and stylistic flair.
At the heart of the F6B Deluxe lies its impressive engine: an 1832.0 ccm (111.79 cubic inches) six-cylinder boxer, four-stroke powerplant. This engine produces a substantial 114.0 HP (83.2 kW) at 5500 RPM, providing ample power for effortless cruising and confident overtaking. 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 readily available torque ensures smooth acceleration from low speeds. The fuel tank holds 24.98 litres (6.60 US gallons), allowing for reasonable range between fill-ups.
The riding experience on the F6B Deluxe leans towards comfortable touring. While not as plush as the full Gold Wing, the seat, with a height of 734 mm (28.9 inches), provides a comfortable perch for long rides. The bike's ergonomics are designed for relaxed cruising, with a comfortable reach to the handlebars and well-placed foot controls. The chassis offers a stable and planted feel, inspiring confidence on various road surfaces. The suspension effectively absorbs bumps and imperfections, contributing to a smooth and enjoyable ride.
The 2018 Honda Gold Wing F6B Deluxe was targeted towards riders who appreciate the Gold Wing's legendary reliability and performance but prefer a more streamlined and stylish bagger aesthetic. It appeals to those who want a comfortable touring motorcycle without all the bells and whistles of a fully-dressed tourer. If you value a smooth and powerful engine, comfortable ergonomics, and a distinctive style, the F6B Deluxe could be a good option.
