Cruizer in the near future. Harley,GW or Valkyrie
I'm in the market for a cruizer and have narrowed it down to these three. The Valkyrie so far has the best chance so far as far as price ,reliability, and looks. I'm not into the "club" deal so I think the Gold Wing is out, and why pay the premium for the HD when the Honda is a better machine. Any body have any pissing they want to get out or some damming info to change my mind?

The Valkyrie is a nice looking bike if you take all the crap off it. If you're gonna dress it out like the one in your pic, just buy a Civic.
Here's a nice Valkyrie;

 One mans dream is another's nightmare. I'm with Joe on this one, sorry tdatk. If you want a *real* cruiser click on the PCH cruiser link in Motion's sig. Still - I'd wave at ya on Valk as long as you're not wearing spandex and a cape

Whatever bro - it's all good.
You gotta admit that cleaned up pic of the Valk looks like something out of Batman 4.

Another wonderfully designed Bimmer
 Ya gotta be kidding me. I've been riding motorcycles since 1976 and BMW has always been a reliable but BFU bike. Sorry but true.
