Not about me of course but the bike gets more stares and questions than even my old Valk. I was looking at some antiques today and the guy came out of the store to look at the bike. He just walked around it stared and asked some questions. I have had that happen so much lately and when they ask engine size most guess at 1300 and raise an eyebrow when told 1800.
I am really happy with this new Valkyrie the more I ride it the more I like it. Miles on this bike is like nothing I have owned before. The bike is smooth enough that doing the miles is no big deal. The biggest problem is keeping the speed down. The Michy's are doing great cornering is really good in wet or dry. Very blustery today here and on the highway clear beautiful day just tucked my head slightly behind the windshield and good to go.
I have gotten quite a few thumbs up from cagers riding nearby also.
I must also say another plus, I find myself not really thinking of maintenance issues on this bike either. Its kind of nice just to think gas and go.
The small additions like, chrome wide brake levers, new Avon grips, Michelin tires, Corbin
bags and seat along with the Honda windshield for me have turned this into a winning combination of performance, reliability, comfort all for a really good price.
If you read this far thanks, I hope if you have one that you find the same things I have found. If you don't own one and are on the fence, I say just do it. More than likely there will be no regrets.
