The owner of the Boat House Grill has a little car collection. He also has this gem... ODIN!!! Not always open to the public though.  |

I'd be very interested to learn if that bike has ever been on a dyno and what numbers it churned out. Very cool. I'm thinking it doesn't help the "looks" of the bike but, it's still a cool and impressive modification. Edited: Oh Yeah, that's one funky windshield.  Rams |

138 HP Thanks for posting that Serk. While that's a bunch of horsepower, I don't believe it's significant enough to justify the dollars or effort to do such a mod. Just my opinion. The fatlady stock is still pretty impressive. Atticrat's mods do a nice job of increasing performance/hp also. All in what you want I guess. Rams |

I agree, but it's not really about the raw speed or power, it's about being a bad ass with two blowers sticking out the sides of an impressive looking engine. I LOVE Valkyries, obviously, but if ya' want speed this is not where to look. If you want speed+reliability+comfort+long distance+awesome looks, yeah, but if you just want speed, pick up a used GIXXER and you can embarrass not only any Valkyrie but even the bossiest of Boss Hosses too.... But as I said, raw speed isn't what we're really after... |

Highly impractical!
My wife wouldn't even ride across town on that back seat!

Would sure elicit a lot of looks and comments, but like others have posted, I like my Valk "rideable." Even the blower bikes, cool, but not very practical.
The bike in the OP would be good for someone that has a collection of Valks. Attic Rat?
