Same pit stop as the older fella with the B-King...

Another couple in their 50's were on a 1998 Honda valkerie or whatever. 1500 cc's, and smooth as sillllllk. One guy asked if that was the motor that could 'count change for ya', and the owner said yes. I didn't know what to expect.

He took out a nickel, stood it on edge on the valve cover, started it, revved it up, and it only fell when the wind blew. SMOOOOOTH man, that was too cool. (crappy camera phone video, sorry)

I think that's the same engine as the the goldwing, a flat 6.  Those things are too smooth and quiet for their own good... they've got no character (but I'm sure it pulls like crazy)

The current wing is an 1800cc flat six they went to it in 2004. I don't think they went to the 1800 on the valkyrie.

That smooth powerful silence is exactly why I love that motor, never liked the valkyrie though.

Even my 83 1100cc 4 cylinder wing could be revved with a cigarette stood on end on the gas cap cover and not vibrate it over.

Really ? That's pretty impressive. A HD something-or-other v-twin pulled by and you could see the engine shaking like mad. Right after the coin trick on the honda -- that was funny to see.

My V-twin doesn't shake much at all.  Of course the Duc engineers kinda pride themselves of the balancing of the engine.

My GS500 isn't lazy or boring... it plays hacky sack with coins...
