I could'nt even get that a mile down the road where I live without rippin' the bags off it....They'll make a fortune on replacement saddlebags.Truth is I kinda dig the look however I'm sure the twins would have a issue with that seat   |

i'm sure you all get this as well, but wherever I ride downunder people come up to me and say they love the Valk and wished they owned one. Honda just don't realise what market they would have with a new Valk model if it was a sensible design, not like the Rune. If you rode one of those chopped Hondas down here you'd be laughed off the road.

Looks like something Batman should ride. But why ANOTHER V-twin??? It appears one of Victory's designers has escaped from the asylum.  |

With the exception of the front wheel/fender, I kinda like it. But it will probably be different in production..... if it makes it that far. |

it has hieght adjustable air suspension. from 2.225" to 6". I would say, in this pic, the suspension is dropped way down. have to pump it up to do the twisties Joe. I like it. I like the fury and the sabre also. beautiful bikes. I like the power that lil 1300 puts out also. Very comfortable bikes-just not a valk.... My next endeavor is going to be a slammed valk bagger. just working up the blueprints fo rit now. inspiration Michvalk!! |

Several years ago the rumor was this would be on the market in 2009...2011 and I ain't seen one yet I spoke with the General Manger at the Local Dealer that happens to be one of the top 4 dealers on the west coast and the top 50 in the U.S. and ( he is called King of the Wing more wings out the door than any other west coast dealer) he said he had asked specifically if this would be made when he went to some dealer gathering the last 4 years in a row and top management said (each time he has asked) there would be no Valkyrie replacement in any foreseeable future. Well I told him I would buy one if they kept it under 19k out the door, he said he wishes they would bring it back it is his overall favorite bike that he has ever sold or ridden. Oh well, we can still dream and ride what we have now, since a Valkyrie will run almost forever. P.S. I liked the White one a bit better, but I could live with almost any color. |

It's a v twin cause they are cheap to produce, most sheep won't ride anything else, and they have never ridden a Valkyrie. I enjoy being different.  Hoser |

A "Star Wars" V-twin.
The rear fender/bags look like Darth Vader's helmet!
