Are you Val riders going to put on any aero stuff?
It vibrated so bad that my hands felt numb after 100-150 miles of non-stop HW riding that I had to make excuses TO take it out and ride because I started hating it. I wish I had a video clip of it but the handlebars, mirrors, and rear fender would vibrate so bad I thought they were going to snap off. It was my first and last Yamaha I will ever own. I'd rather have my old 250 Ninja back than the 1700 Warrior.

Unless the weather is bad, I have to carry largo cargo or passengers, I hop on the Valkyrie by default.
