Owned 2 Valk tourers (98 & 99) over the years. I really liked my Valks.

Back in 2004/05 All the Valk (VOA & VRCC) forum guys were hoping this new bike based in the GL1800 platform was gonna show up after the Rune. But Honda just kinda baled on the Valkyrie in favor of the VTX.

I'm sure this new version will be a real performer, twisty roads or straight line, and will walk away from anything else in it's size. Valk riders used to have a lot of fun with Harleys.

I heard about & saw the pics of the new Valk but it didn't impress me enuf to stop me from getting an F6B.
The only disappointing thing is that the new Valk is (I think) available with ABS but F6B (US version) isn't ?

I hope it does well for Honda and maybe it looks better in person but I wouldn't trade for it!
