We're trying to keep him off the bike, PW! I hate thinking of the potential for disaster putting that much motorcycle in a beginner's hands.

However, the fact that he's taking riding classes is quite comforting.

What I like so much about the Valk is that, like the CBX before it, the engine isn't treated as something to be ashamed of and visually minimized or hidden. The Valk and CBX scream out "Check out this engine! And the pipes!!!"

I've always used these two mechanical definitions:

Automobile/Motorcycle: Wheels with an engine
Tractor: An engine with wheels

I love the occasional crossovers whose function is still wheels with an engine but whose form is an engine with wheels. And that's probably a guy thing.
