2014 Honda Valkyrie 3 Years, 11 Months ago  
So what does everyone think of the new Valk? Interesting look, lots of plastic. Bet it goes like stink too.

If it was more naked I'd probably like it more.

Plastic Princess. Too much plastic on bikes these days.

Re:2014 Honda Valkyrie 3 Years, 11 Months ago  
i know honda makes a top quality bike, the goldwing engine history speaks for itself, but for me, i like the v-twin rumble and simplicity. to me this looks like a bmw, or 1 side of a triumph with 3 cylinders

My husband has three Valkyries. A 97 bobber, a 98 "Rat Rod" style, and a 2K Interstate "Super Valk".

He likes the F6B "bagger", but does not like the 2014 Valkyrie.

I have the bike of my dreams; a 2006 Silverdo in pearl white, and "Cobra" mufflers to wake up the brain dead motorists.

Re:2014 Honda Valkyrie 3 Years, 11 Months ago  
I don't dislike it, but it is just not the same as the original. I had my 97 Valk for 17 years, and truly loved that bike. It was one of those bikes that just was a real blast to ride, and the Harley guy's could not call it a copy cat. I smoked many, many Harleys on that thing and it just warmed my heart. Knee's went bad, and thought it was time to let her go. Bought my 2006 pearl white Silverado,
and I am very happy. At my age, I think this will be my last bike, and I am looking forward to putting on as many miles as I can.
