That is fine by me, but I do not think I will need another for at least 200000 more miles  |

Slider, Honda stopped listening to customers years ago. That is IF they ever listened.

Much as I'd LOVE to see a new updated Valkyrie, even if they DID make one... Would you pay $27,000 or more for one? Especially when there are good shape used "Original" Valkyrie's out there for the prices they're currently going for? For that matter, even if they were priced lower, would you WANT a Made in Japan Valkyrie?
I'd LOVE to see a 2 liter Valk with EFI and some other new niceties but really... I'm not gonna drop that kinda money on a bike, no matter how nice it is...

Seems like this comes around every two years or so.
Honda has never listened to us, even at Homecoming.

As a former volunteer, I've talsked to Honda headquarters people on several occasions. Charlie Keller told me that the Wing motor was not designed to be exposed on a cruiser frame. Too many extra stuff for reverse, cruise control and emmisions equipment. It cannot be cleaned up for a cruiser. My feelings are that as long as the Lemmings want a V twin to look like a HD, no sales scenario will support a low volume sales bike. Too bad.
