I put the mighty Valk on fleabay, because I bought 05' venture. The venture is really comfortable but it sure doesn't have the horses of my I/S. Might be the first time I've had buyers remorse and sellers remorse at the same time.

the only reason i plan on ever selling my cycle is because it would cost more to keep it running. or, i'm too old to lift it off it's side peg.

A lot of bikes get a LOT more than that but the Valk is paid for! Very well said. My I/S consistantly gets 40 MPG, because I try to ride with mileage in mind. There are a number of $45-$50K vehicles out there that gets near 40 MPG, but then, they are not paid for like the Valks you and I own and ride. I won't even mention the fun.  |

 If you are riding and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast. |

Had an '09 Venture for only 6 months or so. Sold it to get the Valk. The RSV just didn't grab me.
I ride with the guy who bought it and see my former bike a lot - looks great and all that, but I don't miss it at all.

I haven't ridden any other bike that can make me smile the way my Valk does.
