The REAL Harley Killer? Honda Goldwing F6B Review, Ride, Impressions, Walk Around, 0-60 mph! 

Ok, ok...before anyone freaks out! The "Harley Killer" bit is a joke. Are you a fan of the Goldwing F6B? Likes or Dislikes? Leave a comment below!

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

I ride an f6b daily. I love everything about it

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.

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!!!

The best over all motorcycle I've ever ridden... own a f6b deluxe Love it!!! Really glad you mentioned the slow speed handling.. really, really, best all around bike I've ever owned

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!

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.

The picture of the older couple on the trike is a family friend! Crazy you found a pic of them!

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...

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!

I liked for the quick 0-60, nothing crazy. Keepin' it safe for all the little kids watching that don't know what speed looks like

Just bought a 2002 GW. Love it power - rides great for two. Can handle the corners. Have had a Harley. Broke down a few times. Honda just keeps running😎🏍🇺🇸

Great review - all true - this bike is a joy to ride. I replaced the stock tires with Metzeler ME888 Marathon Ultras and now experience even better handling.

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!

Any Goldwing is a Harley killer.

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.

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.

Harley Killer that is not a Joke. Harley may have a road king but the Goldwing is The King of the Road

I’ve been riding my 2013 f6b for 6 years. Love this bike. Very quick and comfortable Great handling 😎

dude dont tell everybody how am i supposed to get one cheap lmao

I owned one ,amazing motorcycle. This motorcycle was good at everything. Set of cobras and sounded great .I now own the new wing and it is great too

I was really considering getting one of these, but ended up getting a brand new 2016 touring. It’s such a nimble bike for its size. I think the F6B is better looking, but still.

Ha I owned one for almost 4 years.Underrated is best description. This motorcycle did everything well.It only flaw no tech ,so what.I now own bmw 1600b and sorry to say this f6b was so much more reliable. I owned many bikes cruisers ,sport bikes and that ole f6b may have been best I owned

Fan of the Goldwing in general. I used to go on group rides with sports bikes and a Goldwing rider would join us and have little trouble keeping up in the twisties.

Bro we gotta see a wheelie on this bad boy 🏍😎

Just had progressive springs installed in the fork tubes. Rides much smoother. Last summer, 5.5 wks 11K mile x country trip and waaaaaay into Canada as well. I'll keep it.

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.

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

Dam the secrets out! I had a 2013 F6B and you're right: it's an incredible bike.

The newest gen 'Wings are smaller, sportier, with a crazy front suspension and wide, low profile rear tire like a sportbike. The riders love them (always have, though).

I am on bike #138 over the last 50 years. I agree completely with the reviewer. I currently have a Goldwing F6B and a Goldwing Valkyrie.

Personally I have new Valkyrie same engine had Harleys for years wish I'd had Valkyrie many many years ago neat thing you do not have to put stage 1 stage 2 stage 3 to make it go

Excellent video. Informative and most entertaining! Super job! I have a ‘07 Wing … and I need to find one of these to ride for a day! Love the BLACK! Thanks for the video.

i prefer mid control on everything...and im tall. i look cramped but im actually confortable like that + better control

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

gold wing for mw mean comfort luxury big miles big bike and relability its a honda.i have a 2017 kawasaki concours, first big touring bike for me, i used to rides custom bike even baggers but boy i will never go back to those motorcycles the concours its so powerful and smooth at the same time you want to cruise at low speed no problem you want to ride fast no problem best bike i ever bought you should try one .ride safe bro

First thing to mind - quiet but a lot of fun

"You meet the nicest people on a Honda" LOL

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

My 2002 goldwing(its for sale now because the starter keeps f-ing failing) would get at least 240 miles on a full tank. Theres no way this newer model with less weight, wastes more gas. Also im looking to buy a 2016 goldwing f6b deluxe to replace my 02 and these videos just make this bike look absolutely incredible.

I love the Goldwing F6B; now just the standard Goldwing since 2018. They are just beautiful motorcycles.

Just found your channel. Sweet af bike. Might be my next , I am going to look it to one

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 !!!

First thing to come to my mind ... seriously, cuz I've shopped all the big bikes ... plastic ... lots of plastic ... some of it visibly ill fitting. Sorry, I bought something that I felt was a wee bit better built.

I had one of the first Gold Wings, no engine guards and believe it or not I had scrapped the valve covers without sliding out. Bike stayed the course.very stable machine.

Big big fan of this bike! I put a set of Vance Hines pipes on it and really woke it up!! Great bike to rip around town or take it out on the road… Your choice!

Great Video John. I am Digging the F6B. I traded in my Harley Road glide for a 2018 Goldwing DCT and absolutely love it. I love the Look of Your F6B, Low ,Sleek and fast.

Nice review and you can handle the bike pretty damn good 👍

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.

You said it all, " Being one with the motorcycle'. As I am with my 2000 Valkyrie Interstate without the trunk.

Your experience mirrors mine. F6b test ride and it was all over.

Man, what a beauty! I have the 2021 bagger but I adore the look of this previous model.

"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! 😂

I like the F6b’s & GoldWing’s, but I really like that a Harley dealership is in almost every town which is why I currently own the ‘14 Ultra Limited.

Excellent video, thx! way better than the professional reviews.

I like your take on this bike, it's simple and to the point. Great bike, great review thanks!

Goldwing = Reliability and Proven track record !!

What back rest is that? I’d like to get one

what year details, specs, and priced used?......you dont see alot of of 16 to 20' fb6 for sale out there!

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.

Sold my GT rocket and Just bought the same model F6B last week👍

Really Good Review!!! I think you should keep this one for yourself. BTW, the 15 & 16 had Standard Cruise Control. I get way more than 22MPG on mine, more like 35 to 38. Thanks for sharing this Vid.

I absolutely hated Goldwings for years and years, they just seemed ugly and bulky to me. But I'll be 100% honest - the F6B is growing on me thanks to your videos. Seeing you drag knee and effortlessly throw it around makes it look like a lot of fun for such a big bike. Looks to have a fair bit of get-up-n-go too... and the mid controls are a definite plus to me even at 6' 2". Now you have me looking up modded F6B's on Google, haha!

Older men’s bike 😬 lol but dang I want one 🤛🏽

My 08 Goldwing gets around 42 MPG on the HWY, don't know why the F6B would only get 20 being lighter and all.

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...

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.

The honda goldwing is huge but surprisingly is nimble too.

All Goldwings handle like a sport bike!! The problem with the new goldwings is that there is no where to put highway pegs!!

Serious Comfort, Put down lots of miles per day with 0 issues.

of this video 1 bike had the honda badge. 1 had a blacked out badge. and 1 had a black and orange yeng and yang sign badge.

I've owned several motorcycles and own an F6B now. Best motorcycle I've owned.

Long distance cruiser is what comes to mine, good bike for long highway drives to the cabin

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!!!

I had Honda before and I’ll tell you why I now own a Harley and will never go back to anything else. A Honda motorcycle is like driving a Honda car everyday. A Harley is like replacing that car for a muscle car. Plus, I see guys tattoo Harley Davidson on their body but not Honda. Harley is a lifestyle.

I had a Power Commander V installed on mine. It wakes up the sleeping beast.

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!

The F6B is definitely a smooth, great handling, and fast bagger. But I just don't like the looks of them or the sound of them. I have a 18 HD Road Glide which is the same class of bike with fixed fairing, and I just think the RG is a way better looking bike... Then put a set of slip on mufflers on stock headers and that deep throaty sound is way better without being overly loud. The other thing I really like is floorboards... granted you can get aftermarket floorboards for the F6B. Also I think the bags are way better on the RG, since they load from the top they are way more functional and easier to access items without everything falling out on you... and I can open the lids and grab things out while I'm sitting on the bike. Like you said it's all about personal preference

Great review... It will be a few years before I switch bikes but I'm already trying to decide between this and the BMW K1600B.

I actually had a Goldwing years ago and they are a great machine , if only they could lose a bit more of the plastic....the Rune nearly got there ; That huge Sissy bar looks terrible.....they look terrible on Harleys too

I love the Big Fast Touring Bikes.. Slow speeds scares most people with the heavy Bikes...beautiful bike ..rode one last year....Ride Safe

Thanks for the info 👍 .... 15:24 You said "Behooveeth" (Smile emoji)

I put 275k miles on a 07' softail nightrain... all I did was change the oil and tires and brakes....no question you get more chicks on a Harley though...I have over 700k miles and owned a 12' goldwing...both make great bikes. Goldwing is still an old man's bike who dont want ANY wind or bugs in the beard or on the helmet...with the right riders...both Harley 114 and the new goldwing dct are neck and neck on the drag strip....probably a bit better handling on a track with the goldwing.

liked the energy in this review! good job

I have one of these... love it!! Gets way better than 22 MPG Harley killer for sure!!

When somebody says Honda Goldwing, my first thought is "car with 2 wheels."

You could not said it better.........." you dont have any idea what this bike is capable of?" .......I was on a ride with sport tourers riders, I was way ahead of the pack with the F6B, the way this corners defies physics, what am amazing bike, mine is black color like yours

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

Why don't GWs have floor boards? What's the deal with pegging the riders leg/knee position? I've got floor boards on my Victory and just the ability to change the angle of the knee a bit makes a huge difference on long rides.

Are the gearbox smooth or very clunky. Good riding man.

Should upgrade power to 140hp/180nm since its 6 cylinders 1800cc...Ducati muscle cruiser already have more than 160hp despite only two cylinders

For the saddle bags, they should just use the trunk release button from the Civic 😂😂 Also... no cruise control on a bike like that is super odd... it makes no sense

We used to "Strafe" Harleys - you know - pass them on the highway at 170 plus, knowing that they would never catch you! Now I own a Harley and can see why the Harley riders didn't care how fast a Goldwing was :)

Very happy with my Honda inlne 4. Can't imagine how well the 6 will pull.

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! 😂🤣😂

I love everything about it except the limited foot position.. Even with highway pegs It looks like you are on the Gyno table! :)

I have been riding for years , finally got a Harley , guess which one has less performance , cost more to maintain, has a lot of vibration. Yep , I will ride my Vulcan any day , while my Harley sits in the garage.

wow, loved how you handled that f6b. I recently bought the new one, and I think my life would be accomplished if I can handle it as well you do sir. I have only 500km on the machine, so i guess i need loads more seat time to even get close to how well you handle this machine. Anyways, keep safe out there buddy, from south Africa.

big and heavy thats the first thing in my mind
