M90 vs VALK

[bentwrench]

Hey gang,I talk to a former co-worker today and he informed he bought a 2012 boulevard M90.Now I know the old C90s were pretty slow for a 90 cu/in cruiser,has any one here ridden the M90 or rode with one.
  My friend is a little cocky and seems to think he's got match for the mighty valk. It's going to be a while before I get to find out ,weather being what it is all I can do is dream about getting out.

If it is an M109r, then probably would hurt the valk,
M90, not so much

M90 not an issue spanking unless you are asleep at the wheel but the M109r might be another issue.

Even a Harley sportster if not awake at a red light can very possibly spank our Valks.

Another bike that will spank a Valkyrie like a 5 year old in K-Mart is a Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 ... The Fat Girl will stay close but in the end the Vulcan just has too much power.

:2funny:Timing is everything!!

Just get one of these Rocket 3's to go with your Valkyrie & worry no more about challenges from other cruisers!

Thanks guys,I just found out he's put short pipes and a pwr. commander on it.Those hop down parts should slow him down more than he'll admit.Dang I'm looking foward to riding again,can't remember when my bikes sat this long

Mine is sitting hiding and wimpering under cover since Dec. 1st or so.  Come April 1st even if there will be snow on the ground which there will be sounds like still with extended forecast,  at least the scooter will get out since all plastic tupperware except rims.  Gotta get back on 2 wheels soon for I might forget how to ride the darn thing (no bicycle either). 

My HD has about 8K in add-ons, or so he says, that supposedly makes his 88 cu in. 2003 ultra classic beefed up to 95/96 and has smoked newer goldwings as well.  Somehow I highly doubt he would smoke a newer goldwing unless he is racing  age 70 on up goldwing riders?  I just tell him his 8K spent on add-ons is what I spent on my Valk Interstate BONE STOCK and wanna race for pinks?  I've seen him take off in town with his loud pipes and all, NOT impressed, just makes noise is all can hear him 2 miles into the country.

Harley engineers are amazing.  They found the most efficient way to convert gasoline into noise, without the side effect of power.

Milwaukee Vibrator, woman love them, nuff said.

Ignorance is bliss, until you go down to trade it in, or resale the Vibrator.

Ride what you are proud of and ride with pride, it's all about the ride.

Amen Al I have ridden most every bike made at one time or another. I have owned Kawi's,yamaha's,Susuki's,Honda's and yes even A Harley. And have ridden different ones of some buddies BMW and Triumph . My Fav is my Pair of Fat Girls but hey that is my choice and don't give two Damns about what others think of it and might poke some fun at buddies from time to time but don't give a damn what they ride as long as we are riding on two wheels it is all good

[Daddie O]

My previous two bikes were Harleys.  I had a CVO V-Rod, and a '97 Road King.  For me, the Valkyrie is a much better machine.  I don't knock anyone for what they ride.  I may tease though...

Yer in da wind on 2 or 3 wheels I DO NOT give a flyin leap at a rotating pastry HOW you got in da wind as long as you is in da wind!! Do I rag my V-twinky friends?? Yup. Do they rag me bout my rice burner??? Yup. BUT if they have NOT seen the nickel trick THEN I get the last laugh AFTER they seen the coinage trick.  RIDE SAFE.
