I saw that back when he first posted a couple of months ago. I love how at one point he's saying something along the lines of its supposed to be a cruiser not a sport bike.

There I lay, broken and bloody, my life slipping away when a beautiful winged woman in glorious golden armor appeared.
"Come with me" she said.
"To where?" I asked.
"To Valhalla"

The guy is so naive ! I can't believe he ever sat on a real sport bike I like the enthusiasm but I do agree...The Valkyrie is fast...no doubt...but once you straddle a large displacement sport bike...well everything else is just slow...Their crazy fast...like totally stupid fast.... Even the old Honda V-65s were nutz!! Does anyone remember those things? Fast as hell too! |

I had to trade it in for a V45 Magna because the cost of insurance was too much for it. |

Full fairing, bags, good looking, handled decent and FAST. I remember the ad from Honda that sold me back in 84. 0to60fasterthanyoucanreadthis. I was hooked. LOL |

Thanks for the link! I loved this vid! "It's a cruiser, not a sportbike". He is actually pretty on it - I test drove a VFR1200 before buying the Valk. The Valk has a surprising similarity to the VFR: both come "on cam" above 80MPH and the Valk feels far closer in performance to the VFR than it does to any other cruiser. Let's look at some facts and figures from http://www.mcnews.com/mcn/articles/2015_01PerfIndex.pdf. The Valk does a 0-60 in 3.41 seconds, a 11.65 second 1/4 mile@111MPH. The 1/4 mile is telling, the weight is holding her back versus anything else truly "sport", but the 3.41 sec 0-60 reveals that she's quicker than the flavor-of-the-month FZ-09. Even then, the 1/4 is faster than an FZ-07, beats a Monster 796 in all aspects and is quicker than the Monster 1100S in the 0-60 (Monster has faster 1/4 mile). Overall, everything taken into account, she's no joke. |

The 1/4 mile is telling, the weight is holding her back versus anything else truly "sport", but the 3.41 sec 0-60 reveals that she's quicker than the flavor-of-the-month FZ-09.
