just wanted to share this pic of the two vastly different generations of Valkyrie motorcycles. i love them both - but i think the first generation is more elegant and timeless IMHO https://www.dropbox.com/s/46z90hk0po2lvj2/new%20school%20meet%20old%20school.jpg?dl=0- note if you don't want to use/login to dropbox, just close the window to view the pick |

The new is measurably more capable than the old, but the old looks far better than the new.
We trudge on.

T-Mann and i were talking about how sweet it would be if Honda did an anniversary re-issue of the Valkyrie and called it the Valkyrie Classic. Make it an 1832cc chromed-to-the-max cruiser with the modern tech but looks like the original Valk....it would be deadly

I wonder if a petition was circulated on the VRCC and every interested member signed it and forwarded it to them, if Mother Honda would even raise an eyebrow? I doubt it. |

Sounds nice but very, very limited market. They'd lose money on it. Kinda' like they are on the new Valkyrie.
