Interesting. Three very different types of bikes, too.
Ya know, when I first saw the F6B on the Honda website, I really liked it. Cool. Different. Even sorta edgy. But when I saw one a few months later on the showroom floor, my immediate reaction was "meh." There's just something about it that looks wrong to my eyes. The CB, on the other hand, I found even more attractive in real life than in photos. Of course, I'm obviously biased on that point.
And, as others have mentioned, Honda has gone bonkers with their pricing on 'Wings in the last decade. I realize the target market is generally an older and therefore relatively wealthy one, but still... While the F6B is a little more reasonable, a decked out top-o-the-line 'Wing is well over $30K after TT&L, warranty, etc. Really? For a motorcycle? I admit I can be pretty cheap at times, but that's just ridiculous.
