The Honda Valkyrie is a motorcycle that was manufactured by Honda, from model years 1996 to 2003. It was designated GL1500C in the US market. The Valkyrie engine is a 1,520 cubic centimetres (93 cu in) liquid cooled, horizontally-opposed flat-six engine transplanted from Honda's Goldwing model. This was unusual since most "cruiser" style motorcycles were based on a V-twin engine design similar to the engine of a Harley-Davidson. In its transplant from the Goldwing, the most notable engine changes were the camshaft and the change to six individual 28 mm carburetors, one for each cylinder, changes which increased power and torque.

This bike has had only two owners. It comes with a bike cover. It is a real eye catcher. The ride is smooth and powerful. Not a beginner bike. Leather bike bags, luggage rack and a helmet lock. It has extra chrome. It has had the passenger pegs changed to floor boards, but the original pegs come with it. In case you would like to change it back. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. It has been babied for the entire time we have owned it. We are selling it, because we are not riding as much anymore and do not want it to sit around. It should be driven and enjoyed.
