Sunrayman Posted March 7, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 7, 2010 I had a 1981 and 1986 Goldwings, a 1999 Valkryie and now own a 1986 and 1989 Venture Royales. I really like the "looks" of the 2nd Gen. and wonder how they compare, feel. run. race, against the Valk. Anybody have any direct experiences??? Comments???

Midnight Rider Posted March 7, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 7, 2010 Love my 2nd Gen bike. But I have many miles on a Valk and I would have to say in my opinion the 2nd gen is more comfortable but the Valk is without a doubt faster and if my memory serves me right it handles better as well. But I would rather have my venture then the valk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted March 7, 2010 Share #3 Posted March 7, 2010 We have a couple of Valkries that ride with us, and lets just say I wish they still made them, I might have bought one instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 Canuck Posted March 7, 2010 Share #5 Posted March 7, 2010 My Valkyrie TOURER vs. my 06 RSV. Valk: Lots of heat pouring off the engine onto your shins Quicker 6 carbs to sync vs 4 RSV much more comfortable, even with my custom seat and backrest on Valk Drinks more fuel No cruise Hate the drone sound of the stock pipes More fun Foot pegs RSV still has enough power for me and now I'm in to riding comfort.

Guest Swifty Posted March 7, 2010 Share #7 Posted March 7, 2010 wow... "In rare unanimity, all of our testers picked the Harley as the bike with the most comfortable riding position. The fact that the testers ranged quite a bit in size emphasizes how well the folks in Milwaukee did their homework. The Yamaha ranked a close second."
