Very cool.  It sounds really mean in a unique way.  Needs to get rid of those ugly ass headlights though.  Reminds me of

Pull off those Dish Network receivers on the front, and this is one of the coolest bikes I've seen. Of course, I have a weak spot for black on black on black meets Mad Max.

Nice idea and I agree the headlight sucks and I hate hate hate the color.  It would look better if a graffiti vandal took a can of
krylon safety pink to it.  But that just me, I'm into bright shiny things that glitter in the sun.

Quite a bit of work on that bike. If memory serves I think originally the tank was under the seat

Whatever it is, it sounds effing awesome.

And aside from the streetlamps mounted to the front end, I really dig the looks of it too.

Maybe if the bug eyes were closer toghether it wouldnt look so bad. Other than that it sounds great and looks unique. I wouldnt buy it but ya gotta give the guy credit for the build.

My first question, no matter what its' genre in motorcycling, is how much does it weight?

And don't tell me that's not important.  No matter what the intent, sport, touring, cruiser, dirt, anything, weight is all important.

Just like the recent threads on the XR1200, yea it's a nice bike, but it weighs a ton. [bang]

Yes, it is a Valkerie.


I met this guy at Laguna.   He is awesome.   He rode down on it with his kick arse group.   All on unique bikes of their own, but his was especially cool and always pulled a crowd.   He is selling it on Ebay right now.
