Honda GL 1800 Gold Wing F6B Delux

Whether you have an hour, a weekend or a week to leave it all behind, here’s a bold and blacked-out-styled machine to satisfy that urge to get away from it all—the Gold Wing® F6B Deluxe. This motorcycle is loaded with all the good looks and key features, and it’s all set for short hops or weekend trips. It starts with a powerful fuel-injected 1,832cc six-cylinder engine that provides an unrivaled level of performance in the class. Honda’s unique, horizontally opposed six-cylinder layout also contributes to an exceptionally low center of gravity. That design, along with a large and stout twin-spar aluminum frame plus a sophisticated suspension system, gives the Gold Wing F6B Deluxe remarkable nimbleness and maneuverability for superior handling. The blacked-out styling treatment with long and low lines gives the Gold Wing F6B Deluxe an aggressive look, while large-capacity saddlebags, a comfortable gunfighter-style seat, premium audio system and more mean there’s no need to rough it on the road. Offering a wide assortment of Honda Genuine Accessories and Honda Signature Accessories, the Gold Wing F6B Deluxe leaves plenty of room to add a personal touch.

Maybe you want a touring bike that’s like nothing else out there. Maybe you want a cruiser that’s not a cookie–cutter clone. Maybe you just want a bike that’s big enough to take you wherever you want to go, and do it in comfort and style, with plenty of class and independence.

If that’s what you’re after, Honda’s Gold Wing F6B Deluxe is your kind of bike. Big, smooth, powerful. The Gold Wing F6B Deluxe uses technology gathered from our own Honda Gold Wing, a bike that’s set the standards in Luxury Touring for the last 40 years. But the F6B is lighter, trimmer and leaner. You’re going to find that it’s perfect for around-town rides, shorter trips or weekend getaways. You’re also going to find that it will blow away just about any conventional cruiser in terms of looks and commanding presence—not to mention on-road performance.

You asked for it, so here it is. And the F6B is still available in two trim levels—standard and deluxe with a Matte Pearl White. With plenty of storage capacity and with many of the Gold Wing’s comfort and luxury features, the F6B is ready to take you wherever adventure calls. Isn’t it about time you answer?

Cruise Control

It’s a perfect standard for a bike like the F6B that’s designed for some serious distance riding.

Integrated Luggage

Luggage performs better when it’s designed in, not added as an afterthought. The F6B sports twin-integrated saddlebags with 22 liters of storage; both are lockable and sealed against the elements.
Six-Cylinder Engine

Based on the Gold Wing’s 1832cc powerplant, the Gold Wing F6B Deluxe’s engine features the same smooth power. And since the Gold Wing F6B Deluxe is lighter, it’s going to feel even more powerful.

Two Feature-Package Versions

Gold Wings have always been famous for creature comforts. So the Gold Wing F6B Deluxe comes loaded with everything from cruise control, surround sound to an adjustable air suspension. The F6B Deluxe goes even further, with self-cancelling turn signals, backrest, heated grips, centerstand and more.

Options & Pricing

Gold Wings revolutionized the concept of the modern touring motorcycle, and the Gold Wing F6B Deluxe is taking that one step further. The result? You get the best of both worlds: proven Gold Wing performance and the Gold Wing F6B Deluxe’s innovative, fresh take on what a motorcycle like this can be. The Deluxe model adds a center stand, passenger backrest and self-cancelling turn signals.

Features

Engine/Drivetrain
•Fuel-injected 1,832cc six-cylinder engine produces smooth, effortless power.
•Parallel two-valve cylinder-head design utilizes direct shim-under-bucket valve actuation, which allows the first valve-clearance inspection service to be at 32,000 miles.
•Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI).
•Two 40mm-diameter throttle bodies deliver air to six specially designed Keihin 50-psi high-pressure programmed fuel injectors. Fuel is delivered through four nozzle-holes in each injector, producing an atomized fuel mixture that is highly combustible for optimum efficiency and power.
•The ECU provides two digital 3-D fuel-injection maps for each cylinder, creating ideal fuel mixture and spark-advance settings for superb rideability. Unique knock-control sensors monitor for knock to improve performance.
•ECU closed-loop emissions system utilizes two oxygen sensors to constantly deliver a precise air/fuel mixture, while two exhaust catalyzers further reduce emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.
•Two side-mounted radiators enhance cooling efficiency and use low-air-pressure areas created by side cowls to draw cooling air through the radiators and beyond the rider at highway speeds.
•Efficient stainless-steel six-into-two exhaust system produces a pleasing, aggressive sound.
•Precise-shifting five-speed transmission includes overdrive fifth.

SUSPENSION
