I first saw this bike at Daytona bike week, I'm thinking it was either in 98 or 99. Cobra had a special display for it at the Honda tent. It was love at first sight, I knew I had to have one someday. I went to that tent everyday for a week just to look at this bike, and talk with the Cobra guys. I still wish honda would of made a Valkyrie similar to this.

You could only ride it on straight roads. If I took that bike through the Gap, those pipes would be history the first day.
I would like to know what ever happened to the bike....if Cobra destroyed it or stripped back down or what. I've never seen it since.

But the valk is an old white mans bike.Yea right .those are great looking bikes.The only thing wrong with them is you would never get a chance to ride with all the people asking questions about what it is or  what kind of harley it is

First thing I thought while looking at the Yellow bike is "Pretty darn cool looking"  Then I thought the bike must be for just show... Where's the battery???

That's Frank Smoak's Red and White - the first Valkyrie I ever saw.
Frank got me the palmetto sticker for my side cover after I got mine...
