I'm curious Phantom, I've always lusted after a Valk as a second bike (no, not to replace the R3) but have never ridden one. Can you give me a side by side comparison to the R3, both pros and cons.

Thanks

Liquidsmile has it right, as many valkyrie riders will tell you, it also is an awesum bike. Have won a lot of beers with that nickel trick! 65,000 miles on mine and was in the shop once, a rear wheel bearing. Has a lot of mash in first, second, third. The R3 has mash in every gear. I installed an Interstate Tank on the 98 Standard. I do miss that tank!
 
Welcome from Molino, FL and Afghanistan. Good choice in bike...I'm hoping that I'll be able to add a 2011 or 2012 R3T to go along with my 2010 Thunderbird late this fall or early next year.

Enjoy the riding.

That nickle test was impressive for sure..
I've always wanted to get a GW and strip all the garbage off of it
just to see what's under there.
Seems a Valkery is lurking under all that plastic.
That nickle test was impressive.
