I absolutely loved my 97 Valkyrie. But then I experienced the performance of a sport touring bike. I doubt I'll ever go back to a cruiser. But if I did, this would probably be the bike.

Another way to put it:

"I don't always ride a cruiser, but when I do, I ride a Valkyrie"

I'd see a doctor about having that 'growth' removed if I was you.    ;)

It is the next step in the F6B.  Loose the Fairing and call it a Valk.

Might as well just buy the F6B- there isn't that much difference.  Why do manufacturer have to make such butt-ugly motorcycles lately?  I'd like it if it looked more like the original Valkerie.  Make a real cruiser, not a stripped down tourer.

I liked the riding position of the F6B much better than the Wing, but the low windscreen allowed the fairing to blast too much wind at your face.  This new Valk is a better solution to those who want a modern machine with a machine look and a cruiser stance.  If I was in the market for a boulevard cruiser I would give one a serious look.  Make mine matt black with black chrome instead of the mirror chrome on the one in the article.

I'm a HONDA fan but wtf have they been doing the last few years?  I would gag if one of my friends pulled one of those in my driveway.  And very much hope my neighbors wouldn't see it (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j180/stevewfl/avatars/lol.gif)

the explanation is that Honda is trying to mislead the competition while they finish the nice bikes  :banghead:
