Just picked up a 2000 Valkyrie w/ 42K miles for $3999 from a dealership. I am hooked!!
I've been riding a Shadow 750 for 4 years now (put 40k miles on that one) and it was time to get a big boy bike.....
Looking forward to piling the miles.

Welcome to the VOAI! That's a great price for an outstanding cycle. Where else can you get such a versatile, powerful bike for anywhere near that price??

Welcome aboard, great find! I wouldn't sell my 2000 for twice that. No wait! I wouldn't sell my 2000 Valkyrie!

Congrats on finding such a steal of a deal, especially from a dealer. It seems a lot of folks riding Valks came from a Honda shadow or magna lineup.
Take an easy until you get used to it, although I found it very easy to handle right away just as easy as my former 1984 Magna was. Although the size of it seems intimidating, it really wasn't at least for me. Just be careful at hwy. speeds and greater floating along so effortlessly that you don't get a bunch of speeding tickets for 10+ mph over the posted speed limit. I've caught myself numerous times going near 70 mph in a 55 zone.
