Well, a flat 6 is a Porsche, isn't it? 

Though the overall bike is more akin to a muscle car.  440 Cuda?

I would have top say a Subaru WTX.  A suped up blue one ate my lunch the other day.   Really fast all-weather drive work wide tires front and back.  I had no chance.

A young Mennonite guy I was demonstrating the nickel trick to a few years back, told me my Valk sounded like a boat motor. Ouch.

Only two vehicles made my butt muscles pucker up when I hit the starter button. The Valk and my '65 Sunbeam Tiger with many engine mods including equal length headers and Thrush mufflers right under my butt.

I think you're close to being correct, Jimmy. Subarus have the boxer motor like the Valk. Tomorrow we're expecting my wife's new 2015 Forester to arrive at the dealership-then should get it Tues or Wednesday. It's been on order since Oct. It should be fun to drive.

Our Valkyries are fast, reliable, and cheap (inexpensive).  What car can you say that about, you usually can only get two out of three.

Absolutely. Brilliant car.  But I would place that closer to the new Valkyrie due the car's understated ( not garish) looks.
