That's not a Valk its just a chopped-up Goldwing!

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally wornout, shouting..."What a Ride!"

I Like the headlight and the wheels, but like Bobby said, looks like a chopped goldwing.

Of Course it's dirty. It's hard to clean when the tires keep moving.

there's only so much you can do in terms of styling with that engine configuration. Kinda like the problem with todays cars vs the cars of the 50's and 60's.

FWIW I like the original Valkyrie concept; the big F6 engine in a naked cruiser frame. I'd like this new Valk better if they just stuck the new engine in the old frame. The new one has too much plastic covering it up.

I don't love it and I don't hate it. I would like to see one in person before I pass judgement. I think Honda is starting to get a way from the classic cruiser look that most of us older men prefer and are starting to court the younger buyers who prefer the more sportier and space age look to the classic look that their dad's ride. Personally if I was going to spend that much on a new Honda I would just go ahead and get a goldwing and have all the goodies in one package.
