I will walk or ride a horse before i would trike my valkyrie.It would be like putting training wheels on.I will never do that.I have ridden and or owned almost every bike thereis or that anyone here has ridden.I never owned a bmw or triumph.the rocket 3 is too big.if i were to get a triump it would be a bonneville and just for me.The vtx 1800 is too heavy as is the vulcan 2000.I really liked my first vulcan, but it was too slow.I think the meanstreak is a good improvement from the standard vulcan, dont know how available they are.All sport tourers are too feet back for me.i have to have forward controls.My valkyrie doesnt have them, so I have some makeshift highway pegs that barely fit the bill.I owned a royal star tour deluxe, 2 ventures,sportster, ultra classic, 2 goldwings,one vulcan 800, 2 shadows,bandit 600, and about 7 others but no one bike has everything I want. I am not like some guys that own 6 bikes.too much insurance payment for that.I appreciate the input though. I guess I will just keep riding the valkyrie at least for now.cars and trucks just aint where its at for me.harley twin cams are some of the worst engines harley ever made.The v rod is a sweet engine but harley guys dont recognize them as true harleys.I like the low pipe one on each side like a valkyrie,road king, bonneville and others.2 pipes on one side just dont look right in my mind's eye.I am too ver bose.
If a trike was the only way I could stay on the road, I would trike. At 65 years young, I can still ride all day if I want to, so I don't expect it to be problem for a while. Hoser
