It's no surprise that so many of us have gone from a Valk to a B. I've usually had at least 2 bikes and my progression was from a Magna V-45 to a Magna V65, to the Valk and then my B. On the side as a second bike I had a Triumph America, Gold Wing, Harley Street Glide and Moto Guzzi . I'm now down to just the B, and it's by far the best bike I've ever owned.
