At first glance i like it. Would have to see it up close. At the end of the day, it still ain't a Harley.

No doubt it's a stab on the dark at their interpretation of the Harley crowd 
Reading this in the article just about had me on the floor in laughter ... 
Look at the Honda website, no happy retired couple pulling a trailer as they ride through Yellowstone on the F6B or successful twosome riding away from their jet, no sir, it’s a guy dressed in a dark leather jacket, a forgotten shave or two with the wind in his face (low windshield, remember?), someone who could just as easily be on a Harley. I wonder if they’ll have to keep it off in a corner of the showroom so the bad crowd won’t scare off their other customers.
Come pick it up a bit & get imaginative

I found this from they introduced that engine. I'm assuming it's still the same.

I'm not much of a Honda guy, but I gotta say I kind of like that one.

I don't get it. It's alright but, it's just a Goldwing w/o a topcase right? It makes good power though. Gotta hand it to them on that.

Meh,I see fail all over it,it's not a Harley,it's not really a GoldWing that wingers will like,it's not a Valk which was a sales fail bike as well although they have their following as I'm sure this bike will.
It's not destined to be a big seller and probably won't be around for long would be my bet.
Kinda like H-D's XLCR,of course they are cool bikes and now quite collectable but at the time they were a sales flop not being Harley enough for the Harley crowd and being too Harley for the cafe/sportbike crowd.

Yes it does make good power, Im not sure if Id ever buy one, but why not have the best of both worlds. Its crazy for some people not to buy it just because its not a Harley.

Sharp looking bagger. I would ride that, before I would ride a Victory Vision.

Super fast, quiet, and reliable. The three things my 2012 ultra classic is missing. Would love to try it, but still like the HD......

Honda has been around for a while, and they know that their sport bike market has gotten older with each passing year. So why not try to position a product in between the sport bikes and touring bikes. Especially since they have the Gold Wing to work from.
