Re: New 2014 Valkyrie ......
What surprised me is that it has all-LED lighting, including the headlight. Being the so-called "Flagship" bike, I wonder why the Goldwing doesn't feature that?

Re: New 2014 Valkyrie ......
I wonder if the F6B will be rebadged the Valkyrie Tourer.
Definitely a market for this style of GoldWing. Looks like it's got some jam too.

But if you were in the market for something like a Harley Soft Tail or Fat Boy you might. That's where Honda is aiming this at.

Re: New 2014 Valkyrie ......
I'm already dreaming what trike kit would work on it and how it would look. I bet it would have great horsepower and be extremely sporty. I would like to see one.

Re: New 2014 Valkyrie ......
A Valkyrie with a trike kit on it would be like a Victoria Secret model with "hairy legs"...LOL

You just ruined VS for me. I can't get this mental picture out of my head.

A friend commented that it looked like the offspring of a Honda Rune mated to a Goldwing.

Re: New 2014 Valkyrie ......
Love my wing, for what it does, but this falls in the "poseur" category of a beer wagon draft horse in the derby.
Decorative, yes, but look at the numbers. Similar in weight to bmw 6 cylinder (1600) but near 100 hp short. Comparable in power to weight ratio of a 400 cc kawasaki ninja.
Probably smooth and reliable, like the Wing. It's a Wing with Jenny Craig. How many ways can marketing spin this?
