For what its worth, I owned a 2014 with a Corbin Seat, Honda Bags, and Windshield. I traded it in on a F6B. The Valkyrie handled terribly with its strange size front wheel. You needed to power through a turn or it would drift wide. Also the front tire is only available as a Honda part in this country. I replaced it with a different brand and size tire and the handling did improve. It did however, go smoothly over bumps without the Anti Dive Valve of the F6B. However, the F6B beats it in the turns and pretty much all other categories. I do not regret trading it in.
