I have been looking at the new style Valkyrie for a while at first I didn't like them at all. I had two other Valkyrie's before the F6B. But the more I looked the more I began to like them. So after a lot of shopping and finding out the low prices advertised were about thousand dollars more with set up and paper work etc.
Still not a bad price but they don't like to tell that at first. So I bought a 2015 the other day and what a nice bike. It feels like a smaller bike, goes like hell, so far it is comfortable. It does feel heavy when moving it around in the garage. I will be keeping my F6B.

Welcome to the forum!
Before I purchased my F6C I rented an F6B for a week long trip.
It did everything is was supposed to, no problems. But I wanted to diverge a little further away from the typical GL1800 platform.
Then I rode the F6C; and went to the bank the same day.
They definitely scratch different itches...

Now you have the best of both worlds!
It's a pretty helpful group here; good luck with your new ride. cooldude

You will like your new addition, its a great bike.

I looked at them for awhile and didn't like them but then it grew on me and I liked it. So when the Corbin bags came out that was it, I bought it. I could not for the life of me picture the bike with bags and remembering the Rune I wasn't going to buy it till I knew what it would look like. Now 30k later I still love my bike and its getting better and better. I would say it took till 25k to break in.

I had the option of a 15 and didn't do it because it was more money and didn't like the color but your bike looks great. I actually love the color of yours.

My friend has the F6B and I prefer my Valk over it.

I too was not crazy of the look at first, but I grew to love the look.  I was originally going to buy a CTX1300.  The bags on them were too wimpy and it didn't have much guts.  I then went to look at the F6B, but I was getting rid of my 1999 Valk IS and I wanted something smaller.  The F6B was too big.  I was super impressed on my test ride on how quick this bike is.  The first time I test road one at the Honda Ride Day, I almost lost my grip during a hard acceleration.  They are quick.
