This is a 1998 Honda Valkyrie with 5788 miles on it. This is motorcycle engineering at its finest. The bike comes with over $8000 in accessories and chrome, and runs like a champ. Starts right up and has zero issues. Runs smooth, shifts great and is the nicest motorcycle I have ever owned. This bike comes with a Magna Super Charger and now puts out over 150HP. It has many custom parts as can been seen from the pictures. I just purchased a new Harley nad WIFE says this bike must GO!! Happy bidding, you wont be disappointed! Here is some of the reviews on this bike. Some bikes feel just right from the first ride, and the '98 Valkyrie is such a motorcycle. From the moment you sit on the comfortable wide seat, place your feet on the large rubber covered pegs it's love at first ride. The bike will cruise around town effortlessly, as the long low chassis with it's very comfortable seating position just feels natural. The first time you twist the throttle and pump the large quantities of fuel to the 1520cc liquid-cooled horizontally opposed six-cyclinder engine you'll more than likely gigle as we did. The engine pulls everywhere but hits even stronger from 3,500 RPM up to the rev limiter which kicks in at about 7,000 RPM. What would be better than a civil and comfortable cruiser with enough power to rip your arms off - or to flat track across a dry lake as in Honda's TV commercial. Built around a pumped up Gold Wing engine, the Valkyrie certainly carries it's own special character. The large displacement engine is fed by six seperate 28mm CV carbs, the cam timing is more radical, redline is higher, and the cruiser uses a more free flowing six-into-six exhaust system which produces an exhaust note all its own. Valve adjustment is by screw and lock-nut adjusters, camshafts are belt driven and the alternator pumps out a whopping 546 watts. The most memeorable aspect of this bike, aside from its stump pulling power, is how this unique package blends so well to produce an extremely competent motorcycle. Though it takes more steering input than say a standard motorcycle, handling its sharp and rather quick for a bike of this size. The bike is nimble in most parking lot situations as well as extremely competent, stable and balanced on the highway. Riding the Valkyrie, especial behind the full wind screen, is an experience in itself. It takes about 30 seconds to get used to riding the bike and the engine puts out a myriad of pleasurable sounds. passenger seating is comfortable and somewhat removed for the rider. At night the gauges are very attractive as are the lights reflecting off the widescreen, tank, machined triple clamps and massive inverted fork tubes. The comfortable seating position allows you to move around a bit and you can easily slouch or sit straight. Twist the throttle and the nicely stepped seat becomes you r best friend. The big Valkyrie likes to corner and transitions from side to side quite well. If pushed too hard, however, the peg feelers touch down in a way that gets your immediate attention as the large peg lifts your foot. The bike actually feels capable of greater lean angles than Honda allowed for. The Valkyrie drew more attention tahn we ever expected. We received thumbs-up from teenagers to Grandfathers. People who didn't even ride were drawn to take a look at the bike with its abundance of chrome and huge engine sticking out. Its apparent that Honda worked very hard to give this bike a clean look - and they succeeded. As a result of this clean styling, there's nowhere to strap a bag other than the sissy bar. You also won't be able to lock your helmet without removing the front portion of the seat. Fortunately this is simple as Honda provided an out-of-the-way keyed lock to do so. The Valkyrie is a great motorcycle, indeed one of the best cruisers we've ever ridden. It's a bike we could live with if given the choice of only one motorcyclein our stable- heaven forbid. It's as much fun to ride around town as it is on the open highway, and oh that engine. Take a ride on a Valkyrie, and you won't want the ride to ever end.
