Summer Evening Ride - Riverside Drive to Cherokee Road, Richmond, VA 2014 Honda Valkyrie

[@brianevans1776]

I am looking at buying a 2016 F6C Valkyrie. Reviews suggest that the weight is difficult at slow speeds (what's new?!). I noticed though at 4.28 that you avoided stopping on the slope for the right turn - is it that bad? I had a 2018 HD Ultra Limited until recently and did dread the hill starts. Much seems to depend on being able to have good clutch control - does the F6C give you that? I live in the UK where we have quite a lot of challenging roads! It looks like you are able to ride in a group of Valkyries and that must be nice to do. Be blessed and thanks for the video.

Thanks for watching and commenting! First, I'm not sure about a 2016 Valkyrie, as to my knowledge the only two years this model was made were '14 and '15. But there may be later model years in the international scene. At 4:28, it was really just a rolling stop. Not for any reason surrounding control. I much prefer to keep moving than to stop whenever I can. I have zero trouble handling the bike at any speed. The low slung engine and horizontally opposed pistons keep the center of gravity low and the bike very manageable. It IS a heavy bike at almost 800 pounds wet and accessorized, but I have no trouble managing it even at stop. I have met a few others who have this bike in my area, but we are a bit of a unicorn. In most cases, the only way we connect is on our forum, www.f6cforum.com, since the bike is so rare. If you have questions about the bike and want to know more details about it, that's the place to get them answered. I'm the site administrator. I hope you'll join the site and become active on it if you do buy one!
