130 HP F6B ???
jimmytee:
O.K., now I got to test ride a Valkyrie yesterday. I liked it a lot, but would want different bars or risers and there is the windshield and saddle bags I'd want. So I went to another dealer today and they had F6Bs. Now here is the clicker. The salesman ( they add a lot of accessories to their bikes) claimed that they had put together a performance kit which involved the intakes, different exhaust and a programmable tuner. He didn't specify , but made the claim that they didn't want to let this get out to other dealers. He said they had come up with this on the request of another customer, had worked it out on a Dyno. And now they figured they could just offer what they came up with to other customers. I was salivating at the thought. I said you're blowing smoke up my ass??? :coolsmiley: He claimed 130 hp at the rear wheel and 118 ft lbs of torque from 18-1900 on up the rpm scale. He claimed real flat torque curve. He said let me get a copy of your license and just initial a waiver form and I could see for myself. So I was jumping inside. He started it up and it sounded nice. He works it through the showroom and while I'm waiting for him to emerge from out back, I call my wife and tell her. She's on board with me getting a new bike. :cooldude: After a little bit he comes back and says, I hate to be "that guy" , but evidently it isn't finished. It has the intake and exhaust work done, but the computer that needed to change the mapping hasn't been installed yet. :'( He said he'd make sure it would be ready for me tomorrow. I told him I would be on call tomorrow and wouldn't be able to make it back. He promises to have it ready for me when I can go back.
So what do you guys think?? There is a premium to be paid for this power, of course.

I've never had a new bike and I only have my Valkyrie now.I won't be selling my Valkyrie. Too much love and memories there. :cooldude: So how many bikes do you have???
He said the premium,after he added it up, was $2200. I got to admit if the hype is true :cooldude:. He said he would find a copy of the original Dyno run.
