    I had a 99 Tourer and loved the thing..The new one looks "bad-ass" and apparently is very fast...I might have considered the Valk when I got my F6B, but I like the wind protection, saddlebags, fairing, and just the way the F6B rides, feels, and looks...besides it is fast enough for me,and at 74 years old the sportier side of the Valkyrie does not appeal to me anymore.....But I bet it will sell very well......

    Nice review & I really like the red one.

    But having owned the original Valk, this one doesn't do anything for me and certainly wouldn't make me give up my F6B.
    Hope it does well for Honda but they should've done this 10yrs ago when they bailed on the original.
    13 F6B Deluxe I've taken the road less traveled, now where the hell am I?
    I don't buy a bike to impress other people, just me !!

    It's funny they call the new Valk a Valk. I don't see the similarities. I think people who loved the old one, are not the same as people who may like the new one. IMHO, the old one was a big ass cruiser, the new one is a big ass sport tourer, leaning towards more sport. Maybe it will sway the power cruiser crowd from the 109s?

    NOPE

    I still have my '97' Valkyrie after owning three of them this new one really does nothing for me. I did get to see one in person this year at the international bike show. It does look better in person but I would not give up my F6B for it.

    I don't know about the looks either untill I see one in person but it sure looks like a hell of a fun bike to ride.

    It says ABS only available in the black model. WTF!! that makes no sense.

    Makes sense to me black bikes are fastest.

    ED209 says RED is faster, you have 20 seconds to comply !

    So where are the performance numbers, 1/4 mile, 0-60 times, top end
    , braking distances etc. Nice review but no useful info for the performance minded.
