Haven't been here for a while as I sold my Valk for a price I couldn't pass up.  had been hit not once but twice by drunks,  on that thing and I was beginning to think I had a big red bullseye on my back.

Anyway I thought I could survive with my second bike but no so.  I came across a 05 Harley Road Glide for the same price I sold my 97 Valkyrie for with less miles and my favorite color so I snatched it up. Rode it for a while (it rode great and never had a seconds problem with it ) but yearning for more power   like I had with the Valk , and also a trunk longer trips I came across a 07 Road Glide It had a big bore kit to a 103 cams , fuel injected, etc and ran like a bat out of hell, Back in the Valkyrie range Dyno'd out to 87 hp and 107 lbs of torque.

Anyway I have been very happy with the bike for the most part. But its been nearly a year and the mind starts to wonder sometimes so I was surfing and came across the new

HONDA F6B which is new for 2013. $19,999 for base model and $20,999 for the Deluxe.   As I am sure you all know the F6 was the designation for the European version of the Valkyrie.

Basically it is a Goldwing minus the trunk, big windscreen  and a few other things, Almost a Valkyrie again and what many of us had been wanting in our Valkyries,  A fuel injected engine.

Was wondering if anyone has looked at this and what your thought were of it?
Kind seems like the best of both the Valkyrie and the Road Glide's fixed faring.

For what its worth I still miss my Valk.
