This one is from Rodsmith Cycles. I like the tin work around the radiator and the polished aluminum.

Impossible to tell. Motors are all the same. Really, the only thing left that's actually Valkyrie is the motor. But, I'm with you, I like it too. That thing will literally go around the world and back without breaking a sweat.

Yeah, but the difference is night and day. Really, the only significant similarity is the motor.
