6300 current bid is a good deal. Thanks for sharing the link, too bad I don't have room myself.
I wonder if those are skull brake lights on back, pretty cool looking. I see the turn signals in back are down below, but those skull brake lights are one of a kind, never saw that before.
I like the smooth flowing lines of the unique one of a kind paint job as well, but the iron crosses on back, I could take or leave.
If you did buy it, you would have 2 of the sharpest Valks around for sure.

Yes I liked the rear lights on it too. I have another customized Valk now that I had at InZane in Asheville:  These 2 Valks and my 05 Wing are all the wife wants in the Garage. She doesn't want her Mustang Convertible to get bumped outside. Would think this Red/Black/Silver Valkyrie would go for at least $8000. Dan |

If anyone here buys this, I'll make room to store it just as a favor. No fee.  |

Slick bike. Higher mileage will scare off any unimformed 8K bids imo

Skull Tail lights on the truck are nice. Haven't seen these before on a Valkyrie either.  Dan |

 Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get. |

Bike ended up selling for $6600. Nice deal. But like with any Custom painted bike it takes at least 2 bidders that like the paint to get the price to go up.

I hope that Valk wasn't traded in by one of our members. I don't want to insult anyone of ours but that paint job would have to be a negative.  It'll cost someone three thousand dollars to repaint it. |

I really like the red, black, and silver combo. Do not like the rear paint with the cross. One of the reason it's harder to sell a custom painted bike is everyone has different opinions.

I'm a fain of the paint, but Mrs. Raider is not a fan of our stable growing.

6.6K is a pretty darn good deal if you like the paint job even if over 60K miles I think. All except the iron cross on back though. If just a plain paint job, 6.6K would be reasonable.
I've always found though, at least on vehicles, mods do not always pay off you usually get well under 1/2 the full cost when time to sell or trade in, unless someone really, really loves it.

Sold for $7300 this time. I hope to see it sometime in the future. I find it to be an interesting looking bike.

Nice looking bike. The mileage will scare away the unknowing. That's one I'll watch. |

Drop a low mileage engine in it for $500 and ride it for another 20 years+

Drop a low mileage engine in it for $500 and ride it for another 20 years+ Dp, something you'll learn as you get more experience with Valkyries is that mileage takes a toll on many moving parts, the engine being the least of these for Valkyries. Putting a low mileage engine on a 120,000 mile Valkyrie would be very little or no improvement. That said, it's a pretty good offering price for a good looking Valkyrie with only 120,000 miles on it. |
