Valkyrie
The Valkyrie®
name is legendary, and the machine first introduced in 1996 has a
hard-core following to this day. Now for 2014, the Valkyrie takes
that unmistakable swagger to a whole new level. It’s a winning
formula: Take a legendary machine, strip it down to the essentials
to shed pounds, wrap it in minimalist bodywork and power it with an
engine that produces ground-shaking torque and an unmistakable
six-cylinder howl. The core of this remarkable custom is Honda’s
unique 1832cc liquid-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine
that also powers the Gold Wing® and Gold Wing F6B. With
an awe-inspiring power-to-weight ratio, aluminum twin-spar frame and
suspension system tuned for serious riders, the Valkyrie is all
about unparalleled performance and style. With a curb weight of 750
pounds, the Valkyrie is a welterweight with a heavyweight punch,
that also includes modern touches; LED headlight, taillight and turn
signals, multi-function digital LCD instrumentation and available
Anti-Lock Braking System. The Valkyrie is one totally cool ride
that’s set so far apart from anything else on the market it has to
be experienced to be believed.
