The 600 is that fat chick who's a bit clumsy but very forgiving, and she's easy as all hell. The 1200 is her big sister who's also a weight lifter.

Saw a Wing F6B for the first time yesterday. I have to say, I'm still not exactly sure what they're going after with it.

Pretty much yeah. The Valkyrie 1500 was a pretty hot ticket, but when they bumped the Wing to the 1800 the resulting Valkyrie Rune was a hugely expensive abomination of a bike. They also haven't made a big cruiser for the last few years. No more VTX1300, VTX1800, Shadow 1100... nothing. In the meantime Yamaha's V-Star line has stepped in and eaten that marketshare alive. Honda's new strategy seems to forget the mid-size and focus on beginner/commuter friendly bikes like their new CTX700, and leave the hot selling Wing to be the only option at the high end. Rather than the Valk as the naked wing, they appear to be middle grounding it by making a full tour vs big bagger be a simple trim level. Their only mid-size offerings are the factory chopper looking crap of the Fury line. Which I've never seen anywhere outside a Honda show floor. I don't think they're selling very well and I'm not sure they'll be around much longer either.

I still think the Rune is one of the best looking cruisers ever made. Looks like post modern locomotive.

I don't think they're selling very well and I'm not sure they'll be around much longer either. I don't really get the Fury either. Actually none of their 1300cc cruisers are particularly good looking, and IMO that's an important characteristic for that kind of bike to have. The ugly, obvious, contrasting-color gaskets on the engines absolutely kill the appearance. And all the plastic makes them look like really big kids' toys. I am pretty sure many of Honda's bikes are powered by laurels, like their cars these days.

I like the metallic blue Rune best. The only time I've ever seen one was at a bike show, and just sitting on it felt like excess. I really don't think anything before or since comes close to just what that bike was.

I'd get a split second warning by hearing it hit the fairing and feeling it through the bars before my visor or face got splashed with bug guts.

Deeters posted:You can thank the PYF DeviantArt thread for these: Thank you for this for I can post picture about the hottest anime girls in the hottest of bike, but first some Kamen Rider.  gently caress YES  HELL YES  Wanna wear a scarf while riding my bike now. Where was I? Oh yeah anime girls on bikes!~  These are not actual girls but more like aliens on the Super Cub trying to be all tactical and poo poo.  These ones have normal porportions and look human (except for the blue hair). Sadly their side-car rig was welded by Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester  A friendly reminder that you should not drive white intoxicated or while the back of your bike is melting.   These are clearly not Hayabusa but Suzume (sparrow) its all a stupid loving pun the the first stupid loving character (she is a sparrow guys!). Also those loving faeries are squid as gently caress.  A sensible shrine maiden in a sensible bosozoku bike.  A stupid lady in a stupid bike with stupid tires and oversized speedometers and tachometers. Also she stole Alucard's coat.    The cutest little V-Max that spews  little ghosties.    And with this I say GOOD NIGHT! I regret nothing~
