These bikes were a big middle finger by Honda to the rest of the industry.


In the late 90's power cruiser race was on and Honda released this beast. It is nicknamed in many circles "The Dragon" This bike is not for beginners. It is big and heavy with power for days but if you can handle it, It is an experience you will not forget.


This is an excellent early production (August 1996) example of these bikes. I comes with 2 seat configurations and the quick detach windshield.


The Honda Valkyrie is a motorcycle that was manufactured by Honda from 1997 to 2003. It was designated GL1500C in the US market and F6C ("Flat Six Custom") in other markets. In the 1990s there was a resurgence of interest in cruiser motorcycles, that generally feature a V-twin engine.[2] The idea of an American cruiser styled motorcycle featuring a flat six engine came from Josef Boyd. The Valkyrie engine is a 1,520 cubic centimetres (93 cu in) liquid-cooled, horizontally opposed flat-six engine shared with Honda's Gold Wing 4th generation model, unlike the V-twin engine commonly found on "cruiser" style motorcycles. In its transplant from the Goldwing, the most notable engine changes were the camshaft, use of solid lifters (instead of hydraulic lifters as the Goldwing) and the change to six individual 28 mm carburetors, one for each cylinder, changes which increased power and torque.
