Back end is a bit reminiscent of those old triumph bath tub mud guards.



That was exactly my thought too when I first saw the bike here, Barry.

And gentlemen, once again I'll state my opinion as to why this new Valkyrie isn't meeting with much approval around here is because as riders who appreciate more the "retro" look in motorcycles enough to have purchased a Bonneville America or Speedmaster, it's a given that most of the guys around here wouldn't like this new Honda because it isn't "retro"!

(...well, except of course for that old Triumph Twenty-One "Bathtub" look at the rear as Barry pointed out, anyway)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
