Had a couple of Valkyries, actually sold one and a dirt bike to buy the F6B. I still have a 1997 black and yellow Valkyrie that looks like new. It's all set up for travel, I tow a trailer with it and it has so much chrome on it it hurts your eyes. With the F6B I am anti chrome for this bike. I tell ya 16 years of technology between the two bikes is incredible when you ride them!
