I owned a 2001 Valkyrie Interstate(fairing, travel trunk )for 10 years. Handling sucked compared to my Rockets and Harley Ultra but fortunately I didn't know that at the time. Otherwise it was a great bike despite having 6 carbs to adjust. First bike out of college, after getting a job to pay for it, was a '71 Honda 750. Wish I had kept that one.
