Seems the FB6 is a better and much less expensive ride.
I really want one.
However, nothing will ever replace the Valk.
And,after reading all that 'stuff', I still had no idea what the writer was trying to say.
"Which is a better ride?... that depends on what....."
I prefer the Honda FB6.

I think this sums it up nicely.
But the Honda excels in too many important ways to play second fiddle. It’s faster, smoother and, when both rider and passenger comforts are taken into account, more luxurious. And unless you’ve either won the lottery or are prospering in these early recovery times, you can’t dismiss the $13,000 MSRP discrepancy between the Honda and the Harley. For that amount, you could buy any one of numerous full-size, top-quality motorcycles—or even a compact car!
Harley-Davidson has been building baggers for as long as anyone cares to admit, but Honda has had this touring business figured out for quite some time. Deep-sixing a top trunk and cutting down a windshield hasn’t diminished their mastery in the least.

Yea, I figured that.
My thing was, I guess they had nothing to put in their magazine, so they made something up.
Kinda like, 'we already know what the better bike is, but let's do something anyway"
I liked the FB6 as soon as it came out.
Still thinking of getting one and triking it (for my needs)
Thanx for the clarification
Dave

Most magazine reviews of just about anything are slanted. If a product is a dud they never come out and say it cause they will loose advertising money. In other words if you tell the truth YOU LOOSE.

There isn't a way in the world yamaha is number one. Maybe 4th or 5th maybe lower but not possible to be 1. You are forgetting some other european cycles too.

harley??? oh no please, harleys are for deaf people LOL, those are the loudest and noisy-est thang an earth. i dunno why they are so loud. do they have mufflers at all? shyet!but on the positive note, harley riders are nice people they always wave at scooter riders. crotch and ninja riders are the most snob riders of all time. but the fastest!!

ha,,,no but i really think trikes are super heavy,i dunno ,maybe i'm wrong. i! Just remember a previous discussion. Some of us ride trikes out of necessity. I would much rather be back on my Goldwing or my 1100 Shadow Sabre, but I never will. So, I ride a scoot trike that I don't have to balance or shift. Necessity. Remember that the next time you bash Alley, and all trikes. |

You got all that right Dave.... That Rabbit may be a pisser at times but he is OK in my book. Trikes are heaver and of course slower than a bike or scoot with the same power plant. Some of us have to ride them and the others just flate love them.
Luke, you help man....Real Help... Too much rice
