    I love seeing these concepts. And I like the direction Honda takes when moving their designs forward. This is something that I think Honda excels at.

    That other Motor Company certainly makes a nice bike... a nice, traditional motorcycle. A nice, traditional, twin cylinder, air cooled motorcycle. But that's all they can build. It's not in their DNA to conceive, design and build a bike with forward thinking technologies and lines like we see from the folks at Honda. And their customer base wouldn't stand for it if they did.

    Traditions are fine, but if that's all you got, I think you're really limiting yourself. Truth be told, I would love to see HD come out with some radical new designs like this. But it would be such a departure for them and an extremely tough sell.

    I'm glad we have an alternative to the traditional. I really enjoy my F6B.

    I mostly agree but the V-Rod was a big step forward. I've been told the dealers don't like them as much though, since they don't end up in the shop as often.

    I like the radiator location on the Night Wing. That would have been a better place for the new Valk.

    I also like the concept. Reminds me at the front of a sports car... but from the back, it looks like an anvil.
    Always a good and safe ride,

    Looks like something out of Star Wars. White ones for the Storm Troopers and a black one for Darth Vader.

    Even Mr. Spock likes the Goldwing. You can read more about it here. http://www.gloucestershireecho.co.uk...ail/story.html

    I was told the same by a Service Manager at Jim's HD in St. Pete FL. My Muscle has been nothing but reliable, fast and comfortable on long trips (with my upgrades). IMHO, best engine HD has come up with (with a little help from Porsche).
    I really enjoy mine:

    That's what I rode to Daytona Bikeweek last month. My next trip will be on F6B!
