I haven't checked the big board, but I see the new 2014 Valk has been introduced.

Or better yet bring it on the next ride and let us ride it :2funny: I do think it looks pretty cool, but I don't know how practical without shield or bags. The F6B might be more practical . They are both out of my range anyway but they are pretty cool.

Says they have two windshields and saddlebags.

Looks like they have 15 accessories available, including bags, windshield and LED foglights.

Went to the Long Beach Motorcycle show yesterday. The new Valkyrie was getting a lot of attention at the Honda area. Some nice things: larger fuel capacity, LED lights, performance etc. But, for me, it seems like the engine is hidden, and that is usually the conversation starter whenever I stop with my yellow '99. Also, the Honda material and talking heads at the show refer to it as the Goldwing Valkyrie. Just doesn't sound right to me. I tried to tell them they need to check with BigMac and set up a "Demo Day" with VRCC-SoCal, but the said maybe after it is released a local dealer might be willing to do that. I'll be interested to see the accessories ... need to be able to go places hither and yon.
