2014 Valkyrie and F6B

[XKnight]

You and me. The Valkyrie is butt ugly. It may turn out to be faster, but you can't do fast all the time. You can, however, be ugly all the time. My F6B gets better with every ride, and it looks good.

Like they say, beauty is in the eye of the behold. Plenty of folks think the F6B is ugly too. They just don't usually hang around on the F6B forum.

I was immediately intrigued by the F6B when it first came out. Being a "classic" Valkyrie nut I was still a bit put off by the F6B's closeness to the GW but totally impressed by the 1832cc powerplant & the GW chassis.
Heard that Honda had secured the rights to the name "Goldwing F6C" & then I knew they had something else F6 powered up their sleeve. So I waited for it to come out before I could consider replacing our beloved Valkyries.
Then the "new" Valkyrie hit the showrooms.
Decision was made, bought the F6B.

The new Valk will out run, out corner and out brake the old valk.

And the F6B too. It's a freaking monster.

True, but not near as cool as the old Valk.

I got a chance to swap bikes with my buddy who has a Valkyrie . Out side of being able to lean the valkyrie in turns with out dragging the pegs I like the F6B much better .
And my buddy likes the F6B better ... Funny thing he trade the F6B to get the valkyrie .
I'm woundering if I can put the Valkyrie wheels on the F6B , I'm a tall rider so would not affect me at all and give me a bit more lean with out dragging .

I would really like to hear from members who have ridden both the F6B and the Valkyrie. Likes and dislikes.
Thanks,

I loved the old Valk. I wish they would have done an 1800 I would have one. But the new one does zero for me. I wish Honda well on everything they turn out. I know they don't build bikes just for me. But the 2 times I said WTF was the Rune and new Valk. Glad people love them but just not for me.

Funny how opinions differ. I like the new Valk. Almost bought it but I wanted the bags and faring.

I owned at 1500cc Valk a few years ago. Didn't really like it. The F6B and new Valk drive muuuuuuuuch better than my old Valk.
