Title: Living on the "Dark Side" Post by: Sodbuster on July 02, 2010, 02:53:49 PM I was out for a ride today and it hit me that just about everything you see for motorcycles is a V-Twin (American & Metric). And then I realized that owning and riding this Valkyrie truly is being on the "Dark Side". When people see you ride-by they take notice. Yes .... I am on a Valkyrie .... "Chooser of The Slain" .... so watch out 8)

Although there are some great V-twin powered bikes out there like the VTX series, the Kawi Vulcan series & others IMHO there is still nothing like a 4 or 6 cylinder powerplant for a motorcycle. The old Valks never fail to attract stares & questions wherever we go. I feel sorry for those folks who claim they will never ride anything but one certain brand or engine configuration.... I guess if you don't know you won't miss it!

Any knucklehead can sport a do-rag and own a Harley. It's cool to have such a rare and cool bike as the Valkyrie.

Not Everyone can trust themselves with that kind of power without eminent destruction. Or tickets out the Wazoo.
