Love it! And if Honda (Or Yamaha, or Suzuki) made it, there'd be one in my garage, just not too keen on British manufacturing (No offense to Brits here, but.... )

I think the fatlady could do that, but not with me driving! Used to do the power slides on dirt with a cb750, I was a lot younger and braver then.   hoser |

If I didn't love the Valk so much I'd be looking hard at the Rocket 3. That looks like a lot of fun.
I sat on one at the Baltimore Int'l MC show a couple years ago. But I'm typically a 1-bike guy. I know, very limiting.

Looks like a motorcycle specific tire and it looks to be a stock bike.
Not a bad rider.
In control but that is all relative.
Wheelies go bad fast even for experts.
Just thought the slide was relative.
And it was ,,,,,,,to the famous Valk Slide.
With the biggest motorcycle engine on the planet.
What raw power that thing has and Big Eyes to see you and Big teeth to ,,,,,Oh that is another story sorry.

Nothing like cubic inches to make you forget you have an unattractive ride.
Just liked the slide

Aww, come on you guys....... They don't look THAT bad do they!   BTW that's no darkside CT on the Rocket, it's a 240 Metzler. 150 same as a Valk on the front stock size. Handles pretty well for such a disparity front to rear. |

For those that think the Rocket 3 is butt ugly, the Valkyrie had the same designer as the Valkyrie. I think the original Rocket 3 with the bare aluminum engine was the best looking version. I went on a demo ride and was mightily impressed. There was a little torque reaction from the engine being longitudinally mounted but the torque was amazing, from as low as 1500 rpm. The one I rode had floorboards and heel and toe shifter which I'm not a real fan of. If there were no Valks to be had anywhere and I was looking for a bike the Rocket 3 would be on my short list.

Rode my cousin's , when he had one, for a little over an hour and my back was killing me. Handling was weird also, it liked to drop into the corners. Loved the power though, he would leave me in the dust.
