    Initial Dnyo numbers ...

    "... Running the 1,833cc six-cylinder on the dyno in fourth gear, we got a peak horsepower of 97.85 at 5,500 rpm and a peak torque of 108.41 pound-feet at 1,210 rpm. ..."

    That is ~ 3/5 hp less and 3/5 ft lbs more than a F6B. I wasn’t sure if manual or DCT tested but after watching the video closely, you can see the left hand pull in the clutch and the left foot put the bike in gear. Watching the blurr on his right hand looks like the editor cropped the shifting out. Was it to confuse us? Am I wrong and it is a DCT? What are other members thought?

    My 2015 F6B had the ECU flashed. It is quite a bit quicker than stock. But, I find the HP readings a bit lacking. Thinking back to the old VALK with the beautiful motor in the late '90s, I believe we had dyno numbers around 115 - 120. LaMonster would know. Maybe some of you remember better than me, too.

    The 2018 BMW K16B dynos at around 129 RWHP ... torque is less, maybe 105ish. And, that bike weighs around 85 - 90 pounds less than the NEW Wing. I guess if one were looking for acceleration, the BMW would be the pick. I am looking forward to a head to head comparison of the Grand America and the NEW Wing, or the K15B and the non-tour GW. Should be interesting.

    First Valkyrie's that were available to the public were the early 97 "BumbleBee colors of yellow and black as far I as I know...At least that was all we could get at the dealer I sold bikes at back then..Later the Turquoise and Black Tourer came out.....Regards

    That's what I was thinking, Opas ride. Honda started manufacturing in '96, first model available in '97. Thus my curiosity about James Wright owning a '95.
