Oh good heavens that ad is just to the hilt, isn't it? Still, nice looking bike, for a motorcycle. I really like the tail lights. Those are way-neat. But Hank, I still think you should go for the DN-01. I mean, they're on sale less than half and everything. What a deal! You can buy two and still be less than its original MSRP. And then give--er, LOAN (yeah, that's the word, "loan") one to your dear dear friend 'Kat ;D ;D ;D >'Kat |

spandi, at first I thought it was Gandolf and wondered why Hank had posted The Hobbit's new preview.
lykos, indeed!
dom', I forget where. Someone posted they were going for $6000 at his local Honda dealership.

Pretty wild!
I like the front fork... It would look even neater though if the design was reversed, putting the axle out front. I've ridden a few Hondas with the flat-six motor. Smooth and fast, but feel like a car engine. Nothing wrong with that I guess.
Hope you can get a good deal on this. It's DEFINITELY a head-turner!
Ride safe!

I used to work with a guy who bought a Valkyrie but he ended up selling it. HE said it wasn't comfortable due to the large/wide motor requiring the foot pegs to be too far back without the ability to stretch his legs out forward.  |

I have ridden every version of the Valkyrie and I was very comfortable. That flat 6 will make you smile as it roasts the rear tire. Trust me... Go get it Hank quit teasing us...

Hank, if you don't pick up that Rune, let me know and I'll go get it. They are getting pretty few and far between, and it's already verging on a classic. Knowing you, you probably already know this, but what Honda put into that particular bike is almost mind numbing. Rumor has it that the cost of each bike to Honda was somewhere in the  -100K range, and were sold at 27K as a loss leading halo bike. Good on you for finding it. Matt |
