This is my '08 G37S Coupe. What I ride when I'm not 2 wheelin'. It's my second "G Coupe". I traded an '04 G35 Coupe in on this one. It's pretty much stock except for the window tinting an 20" chrome wheels. I'll post better shots some other time. These were taken in my driveway pinned in between my house and a fence. I've been a big fan of the G Coupe since they 1st hit in '03. What I'd really love to have is a Nissan GTR, but it's just a little beyond my means. NISMO all the way (for cars....Honda for cycles)!!

Yep, it's an 05. But they don't make'em to look old. They just never changed. The electric start on mine was an option and the fact that it's a five speed is a big deal. This model year is the first change in ages. They're introducing a cleaner running engine. Mine is a 500cc single cylinder. Top speed, 66 mph. It doesn't like 55 but 45 is the sweet spot. It feels like hopping on a bicycle after getting off the Fury.

I turn far more heads on that than I do the Fury.

That's great ! A true 'modern antique' :-)
A little hard to see in the picture, but some of the engine casing castings must be nice to look at.
One question, have they made it oil tight ?

Thanks Springmaker. I love the other bikes even though I have been spending the majority of my time on the Fury. Hopping off the Fury on to the Valkyrie is like hopping off a bar stool on to an overstuffed sofa. My wife is like the garage is getting too crowded. My retort is that each one serves a purpose.
