Our version of the running of the bulls
Maybe it's because the words "apology" or "excuse" or "regret" aren't in your vocabulary. Maybe you just feel that it's time to dive into the deep end. Or maybe your of the opinion that if a little bit is good, then more must be better, and too much is probably just right. It really doesn't matter. Because what ever the reason, once you throw a leg over Honda's Valkyrie or Valkyrie Tourer, there's no turning back to life as you once knew it....

Prepare to be Dazzled
Let's not beat around the boulevard, the custom bike establishment has been left floundering in the wake of Honda's new F6C. It is built in America and pays due deference to the great custom tradition, but it goes much further than that. Every aspect of the custom bike myth has been re-examined, re-interpreted and raised to the level of state-of-the-art, resulting in a seductive blend of radical thinking and respect for the past....

HONDA F6C
THE PERFORMANCE RETRO-CLASSIC
Factory customs had become commonplace when Honda launched the monster F6C Valkyrie in 1997, but the sheer scale of the new cruiser astonished observers who were used to variations on the Harley-inspired V-twin theme....

In search of the Best Cruiser on Earth
In our search for the best cruiser on earth, we travel 12,000 miles on eight bikes, in three days.
"SEND US THE BEST, COOLEST MOTORCYCLE YOU'VE GOT."
That was the request Motorcycle Cruiser conveyed to the eight major makers of big street bikes that count cruisers among their models. "We want your flagship cruiser." we told them. There were some conditions. We wanted unmitigated cruisers, not touring cruisers. That meant no Harley Road Kings or Kawasaki Nomads. For some manufacturers, the choice was clear. BMW only makes one cruiser model, the R1200C. Nor was there any doubt about which model Moto Guzi would send. The V11 EV is the Italian maker's solitary cruiser. Suzuki's new 1500 Intruder LC was it's obvious choice, and that's what it selected. Kawasaki's choice was also clear-cut; it sent the Vulcan 1500 Classic. We wondered whether Honda would choose the beautifully crafted 1100 Aero V-twin or the big six-cylinder Valkyrie. We got the six....

Big Bikes
The moment of truth has arrived. The excuses have run out. If you really can handle 1520cc of pure muscle that generates more torque than any production motorcycle ever tested by Motorcyclist magazine--then the time is now....
After all, once you sit on a Valkyrie, everything else will seem smaller than life. (4810x3130)

Six cylinders. Six carbs. 1520cc's. It's not just a motor, it's a monster. It's the biggest motorcycle engine you can buy, and it's the heart of one of the most beautiful machines ever built. The Valkyrie from Honda, the most powerful custom on the planet. (4629x3098)
INTRODUCING THE VALKYRIE
It's more than eight feet long. It's got six cylinders and six carburetors... Only Honda could build a bike like the new Valkyrie, the biggest, most awesome custom motorcycle you can buy. It's got more chrome than other customs have horsepower. And though that legendary six is smooth as silk, it's still strong enough to light up a small town.

The Honda Valkyrie..... Links
Affectionately known as "The Dragon" among Valkyrie riders. Why a "Dragon" is still very much a subject of debate within the Valkyrie community, but I suspect that it has at least something to do with some stats about the Valkyrie that I've read....
104hp, 100ft/lbs of torque, 0-60 in less than 4 seconds. Will smoke almost anything on the road. So don't tickle the dragon, you just might get burned. lol
(Honda would never officially give a hp rating for the Valkyrie, only saying "more than a hundred". The 104hp rating is from one of the magazines on this site)
Another prevailing theory has to do with Viking lore. Yes, there are dragons in Viking mythology.
I prefer my theory. lol

TOURING THE OREGON COAST
Valkyries, an ocean breeze and fresh seafood
Setting out to do it right, the four of us--two on Harleys and two on Honda Valkyries-- rode the full length of Oregon's Highway 101, which parallels the Pacific Coast. Our starting point was the four-mile-long Astoria Bridge, which spans the Columbia River's entry into the Pacific, separating Oregon from Washington state. We descended down the span exiting Washington state and skimmed across the water only a few feet above the waves. Nearing the entry point into Oregon we opened the throttle , and climbed 200 feet, rising over the peak of the bridge and descending into the town of Astoria, the beginning of a beautiful 400-mile ride...

The Honda Valkyrie Rider
Click Here for Preview and Download
The Honda Valkyrie Rider is easily recognized by a physical condition known among Valkyrie Riders as, "The Grin." Just mention Motorcycles and wait for the tell-tale Grin to appear. "The Grin", it's always there, lurking just beneath his cool public persona. The mere thought of "riding" is enough to bring it to the surface. Talk of motorcycles invariably, almost involuntarily, induces "The Grin", coupled with a twinkle in the eyes that hints of memories of adventures past and dreams of rides yet future.
While this condition is not fatal, with current technology, it does appear to be incurable.
To learn more about this unusual malady, and it's treatment, visit the...

VALKYRIES IN THE MIST
Valkyries, Volcanoes and Valhalla
Saturday, June 21: The Summer Solstice. The first day of summer and it was a typical Oregon June day: rainy. Ordinarily the inclement weather would be an excuse to avoid my mounting list of homeowner projects and perhaps just stretch out on the couch to watch sports reruns on ESPN. However, for some reason it sounded good to take a ride today despite the on-and-off-again rain. When my buddy Eric called me that morning with the same idea and wanted to know if I was interested in joining him for a spin, I seized the opportunity. Little did either of us know what a strange trip lay ahead....

TOURING CRUISERS
Baggers To Badwater
Throw a leg over a "great" cruiser for a long weekend and you're sure to decide that there's more to motorcycling than piloting the latest red-hot sportbike through challenging curves....
But exactly what makes a great cruiser isn't so easy to define as the ingrediants that make a great sportbike. Maxium performance has a certain cold logic that appeals to factory engineers. Cruisers, on the other hand, need to do more than just go, turn and stop. Elusive considerations like "look" and "feel" are most important to the consumer, and both are outside the rational discipline of engineering. Harley-Davidson's unprecedented popularity is clearly hard to fathom from a technological point of view...

LUXURY TOURING BIKES
Who's The King Of The Road?
Seated around the conference table are 10 wet, tired and disheveled bikers.
