F6C then F6B then missing the F6C and wanting another one

[rudymsmith]

So I loved my 2014 F6C, but, I bought it because I wanted to make a reverse trike out of it and tilting motorworks said they couldn't do it after I bought it - so I bought an F6B to convert and was in the process of trading the C in for another B when a garbage truck flattened the C (I wasn't on it).
Now months later insurance has settled the claim.

Having driven the F6B a bunch while I was waiting to trike it, I find myself missing the F6C more and more.

Thus I am considering finding a 2015 or 2016 F6C - yup feeling nuts.
Any body know where some 2016 Valkyrie's are hiding?

Sorry to find out about the tilting motorworks thing... and your troubles...

1800 valkyries seem to have dried up on eBay... you could check
local dealers...

I thought there were no 2016 units?

Try searching Honda dealers. you may find a 2014/15 leftover. My local dealer had a red 14 about a month ago, brand new. They had it listed for $9999.00  It is gone but I would think you can still find one. I got my black for $10499 last year. Keep looking. BTW, there is no 2016 Valkyrie. Only 14/15

I was playing around on CL last night , looking for a ABS used , saw several new ones for $10K

Garbage truck, what?????   Holy crap!!!  That sucks!    Answering your question, there are no 16s...Honda stopped making them after 15.  However, a local dealer to me in Lake Villa Illinois (Neilsen Enterprises has a new red 15' there...that they cannot move.  I was there last weekend for a social visit and saw it.  They would probably make a deal on it...  I was just telling the guy who sold me my bike that I cannot believe he cannot sell it...PHENOMENAL machine!

Just do a search on Cycletrader.com. I just looked and seems there are plenty scattered across the country.

[rudymsmith]

thanks everybody
hard to believe it is hard to sell such wonderful machines???
the V-twin world is sometimes clueless

no 2016's - oh well

I'll see what I can find 14 or 15 - I got a deal the first time around. I had a 2014 in  a metaflake maroon color with a corbin saddle and corbin matching glass panniers - so nice! 

Sometimes "you don't know what you got till it's gone" - sounds like a song :'(

There was a red 2015 sitting on the showroom floor of New York Yamaha Honda in Queens, NY. as of last week.  Give them a call to check if they still have it.  Note that i am not sure if it was new or used.

That list is actually very telling.  The dealer I bought mine from has a listing on that page for a 2014 ABS model, which they did not have when I bought my bike 1.75 years ago.  So, therefore, since the only source of Honda motorcycles is American Honda, apparently Honda still had leftovers sitting in the warehouse for quite a while after that time.  For all we know they still do.

I bought my 2014 blue ABS Valk in Canada this past winter.  It took them a couple of weeks to have it shipped to the dealer, so it would appear there are a bunch sitting in warehouses somewhere.  I got the year and colour I asked for, no problem.

There was a 15 red at Honda of Winston-Salem NC, gettin closer to ya.

[Jambriwal]

try www.hondaofcrofton.com they sent me an e mail the other day. Had a 2015 Red one w/ ABS $ 700.00 off MSRP. they have some screaming deals.

I thought ABS was not available in 2015 model.

I could hope that they do better: I got $6,000.00 off MSRP when I bought mine.  I would believe at least $3k off should be the starting target.

Thanks for all the leads - I found a hell of a deal on a 2014 in Mississippi, had it set up pretty much the way I had mine set up... now I have to decide if I want to screw around with Corbin again...they were a PITA when I ordered my Valk glass panniers from them in 2016. Took Corbin 8 months to get it right. Good news is I'm back in Valkyrie land in time for all the good weather.

I don't know, but I at first HATED the stock seat from comfort perspective, but I noticed how it has softened some, and after turning the suspension dampening all the way down improved the comfort to a point in where I do not think I need to get a different seat.

Yep.  I'd never do it again, and neither will my dealer.

[hubcapsc]

Y'all had a very different experience with Corbin than I did... I found
them responsive and their seat and bags to be of the highest
quality. Fitting their brackets to the frame was like bolting on
Honda parts.

Success - found some used corbins for $800.00 will cost $150.00 to paint them spec to match. Wish I would have done that the first time around i'd have an extra $800.00 in my pockets.

There is a black 2014 with 800 miles on the clock for $11,999 Naults Honda in Windham N.H.
