2014 Honda Valkryie

[mr hunt]

I love it - something new for my Rocket to cock it's leg on

Man, even the old Valk had inverted forks??????

Those two stroke Kaw 500's and 750's were some of the baddest bikes ever.

Back in the day; I had an old (now) Z1 900 Kaw that wasn't bad at all for a four stroke.

The subject Honda doesn't do a thing for me; it has no soul.

The Rocket III has a soul; like a fine 1911, or a really good guitar.

Does anyone remember the Yamaha 350 cc twin cylinder oil burner? Blue smoke everywhere and sounded like bumblebees in a beer can but was real quick.

Be fun to cut up and make look right. Plastic is easy. Bear claw with a scoop could replace that starwars radiator shrould. Anyone found the 1/4 mile times??

Looks too much like the M109r to me. Not saying I wouldn't ride it, I just wouldn't take it home to meet mom.

Stripes,

My other bike is a 1968 Yamaha YR2 350cc. Makes a great statement sitting next to the monster.

As for the new Valk, it's growing on me. You can never tell **** from pics anyway but when you watch the vid and see it with a guy perched on it hauling ass, it looks pretty mean. In a Honda sorta way that is.

I do I do ! I used to work on a guys R5. Then worked on a couple of "RD's". The RD's were the $hit. First bike I ever saw with the gauges connected together by a "dash". Six speed trans, reed valve intake, good low end power, great top end power and they were nice to look at !

I had the later green one with chambers ...... That thing really moved and got me into trouble with the cops a couple of times as it was Sooo easy to get it up and keep it up on back wheel it used to lift even in second but third was a bit harder to get up

I still have that problem...first, no problem...second, ok...third? Can sometimes be hard to get it up

It would give a 650 Tiger a good run from light to light.
