I can picture myself riding that Valk.  I actually considered the F6B to be a step in the right direction and would have consider it except for the hefty price tag.

Two windscreens (one short, one tall), saddlebags, LED foglights, a backrest, a rear carrier rack and a leather touring bag highlight a wide range of accessories.

Dude  ...

I guess they'll be goldwingish bags though...

 I wanta see/feel/ride one 

   


                                            Suggested retail $17,000 ~ maybe..

Need to see it in person before I commit.

My first impression:

To much black(even on the blue and red) making it to subdued, ie. not enough flash.
Like the mechanicals, ABS not a biggie, do not want integrated braking
Colors ok but would like a silver or gray
Would like to see the accessories also

Thanks Honda, it is about time.

Heck, I can see and feel it now. I can also resolve myself to one bike come April, well maybe two.

I'm sure it will be a blast to ride, but I'm going to reserve judgement on its styling until later. 

Too bad, because I LOVED the EVO 6 the first time I saw pictures.

I checked out Discount Tire and a 225/50/17 is readily available and a close match in diameter, this bike is darksideable.

I already have permission from my wife to buy one.  Thanks Dena! 

There'll probably be a waiting list... ???

...as I said in the thread on the main board...

Wait ... what?  I thought this was the main board?  Are you talking about the anything 'cept Valkyries board?   

[wizard -vrccds#125]

Too much plastic to remove to get at anything ! Just like the goldwing  An hour to get to oil filter !

[Bosman]

Did I read it right? It only has a one year warranty?

Might have to trade the Wing in on one next year...

Ehhhh,,,, they call the " Ruine " a valkyrie too...     Looks like the f6b with the bags missing....

[BnB Tom]

   Actually,  it sorta makes the "Corbinized" F6B look a little more palatable  ???

               

 

[LTD]

Looks like it fits only five foot nine and below dang.

[doubleminded]

If I wasnt fundily challenged I would be the first one at my dealer to buy one.I think the f6b was to see if valk riders would accept it as a valk.Which of course we won't.I really do not understand goldwing,f6b,ctx 1400, now the valkyrie.The wing and valk are enough in my opinion.

[blotar]

At first blush, I would rather have an F6B (I like the way Honda is thinkng though)

[HayHauler]

Good to see ya posting Bruce.   How ya been.  Was just thinking about y'all Thursday night.

Well, at first blush, the front is odd .... Okay, garish, maybe even a little weird. I'm sure the 2015 models will include a Tourer, and because some folks will complain there ain't enough Tupperware on it (storage), they'll come out with the Interstate model in '16.

I just sold the Goldwing and have pretty much decided on the F6B as the next beast in the garage. The release of this bike has not caused a change of mind ...... yet!

I do believe the heafty price tag on it will make the '97-03 crop of Valkyrie's even  more relevant. They are, after all, motorcycle looking motorcycles!

Hefty price tag? I think it's coming out around $17k?

My 2001 Valk was listed new at $13999...so I'm not really seeing $3000 more after 12 years all that hefty...granted, I didn't pay list for it...but I don't really expect to pay list for a 2015 model either...

That said, the 97-03's will always be relevant...'cause they just plain kick ass...

Here is a cool commercial.
