anybody seen one in the flesh yet?  i'm seriously thinking about dumping my 4 valks and getting a new ride.  however it seems like a lot of cash for smaller cases.  i dunno.  i love these bikes, but i just got a new 2018 truck so maybe i need a 2018 bike to match.

They had them at a hotel near Austin this week. I went and checked them out and got to sit on them and play with all of the buttons. There very nice looking, by far one of the best looking bikes I have seen. The features all seamed nice but there was a few thing id like to complain about. The little storage compartment on the tank felt a little flimsy when opening and closing. The side bags have to be slammed hard to close and same with the trunk.  The trunk is definitely UNABLE to fit 2 full size helmets even though Honda claims it will.

I really need to drive one to make my decision, but I am currently considering a red DCT tour. If the drive quality blows me away then I'll probably pull the trigger. I am worried about the handling form the new front suspension and how the DCT will perform.

yeah. i was excited for a minute but maybe i'll wait a year before pulling that trigger.  i will however be selling all the other bikes and just keep one.  the valkyries started reproducing and have completely taken over my shop.
