The ctx is the sort of cruiser that honda should have been making instead of going over the vtx1300/1800 cliff. LED lighting, luggage, tunes, shaft drive, smooth proven v-4 and most importantly not a trace of traditional cruiser styling. I definately want to check one out up close and personal. Honda has really been cranking out the bikes this year. The new Valkyrie looks absolutely decadent.
That Valkyrie looks like it would eat up the road. If it out performs my Raider, I might think about it. Raider curb weight is supposed to be 730 lbs.... the Valkyrie 750.

There is a great promotional film that shows the new Valkyrie doing one loooong burnout then rocketing down the closed course.
I had a vtx 1300 for 3 years but in the end I just couldn't get into the whole cruising thing. The Valkyrie looks like a great bike with some serious attitude. For me I'd take this Valk or the ctx1300 over any v-twin.
