Well...I have been since 1997 anyway. I am on my second Valkyrie (Interstate) and have been feeling I wanted to do something new but frankly haven't really seen anything that pulled my bobber under the water.I went to the dealer today with my wife to look at the new Wings and F6B's and I must say I was quite intrigued by the F6B. The dealer shot me an almost unbelievable price for my Valkyrie in trade. Weather was not good enough to ride in today, going back next Saturday. It is the deluxe model with the larger windshield.
He is also giving me 1000 in Honda bucks. Hope to report back in next week as a new owner!
Hey Dave, I remember your name from the VRCC and think I saw you a couple years ago at a Valkyrie rally in Northern Mich...I too was a Valkaholic and loved my 99 Black Tourer I rode for over 6 years...but, the F6B is better in everyway in my opinion..More power, handles better, love the fairing, rides better and is just plain more fun to ride...I have a 11"-19" Baggershield, Cobra 6-2-6 pipes, custom painted, Kury grips, and some chrome goodies....This is the nicest bike I have had in my 45+ years of riding and I know you will not be disappointed in your choice....Keep us posted on what transpires and Good Luck......
Through the years:
mini-bike
Yamaha YZ-80
Yamaha 125 trail bike
'83 Suzuki GS 850
'87 Goldwing
'01 Valkyrie Interstate, totaled 2011
'97 Road King, purchased fall 2013, hated the vibration
'13 F6B Deluxe, early March
I was excited to hear about the new Valkyrie, but it's just too short. Saw the F6B and fell hard for it. Found a great deal on 5,000 mile and purchased with out riding it. Have ridden it around the block and now waiting for the temps to hit above 30 and dry pavement here in the Twin Cities.
