Yep... blowndodge and Cactus are correct. On the F6B, it now comes with cruise control standard. However, there are two types of F6B.... the F6B and the F6B Deluxe. Deluxe comes with self-cancelling turn signals, backrest, heated grips and centerstand.

Yet the valkerie can be had with ABS here. Why? No bags.

When I was bike hunting 3 years ago, the F6B did not have cruise, thats one reason I kept looking and got the Voyager.

They are a very nice handling bike,I took one out for a test ride last season. It felt like a sport bike compared to my Nomad.

Honda only added cruise control to the F6B a couple of years ago (maybe even just last year). There are (relatively) easy ways to add factory cruise to an older F6B.

You are wrong ! Sold in germany since 2009, but ABS was available at first for the 2011 model !

Well, may be you have me there. I usually look at the uk and canada sites. In any event, ABS was available before it was here.

That will be my next bike if my 1500 ever decides to retire. The Nomad just won't quit.

My regional director picked up a new 2014 F6B early this year for $14k. It listed for $21k. It was on the floor at Lafayette Honda. All black with the blacked out rims. Beautiful bike. He loves it. I'm not sure but it may be the deluxe model. He stole it IMO.

I hope not, a kind, genteel, soft spoken Brad makes me wanna puke.

I'm grown quite fond of the opinionated a-hole Brad.
