...Just something about that front end that does not click.I know they tried to keep the radiators covered... maybe a re-design is in order?

No kidding. At first glance I thought someone was kneeling on the gas tank. This one is a lose-lose to me. But, like the Edsel (anyone remember those?) it might gain a following over time.

I like it. But I've been called "strange" by more than one.

I'd ride it, but then again I would ride most anything at least once.

The new Valkyrie looks much better in black to me.

Hey...I had a '59 Edsel Ranger 4 door. It was a lead sled, but I loved it. Bought it for $ 1500.00, and sold it for $ 6,000.00

Sorry for your loss Scott.

Honda is calling it a Metallic Blue and the Red is also being called a Metallic Red

It could be the Illusion Blue AKA Pearl Chromium Purple .... Hmmm

The one POSITIVE thing about the Valkyrie paint is that Honda STILL applies a clear coat to Candy and Metallic paints.

I'm not the finest looking fella on the block but the F6B helps. Don't think the new Valkyrie would help at all. But the wheels & pipe cut looks good.
