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.

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 Valkyrie. Who says size doesn't matter?                                                                                           ( 5092x3038)

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 
   This post contains links to sites that can be gleaned for a wealth of information about the Honda Valkyrie.
   I will add to these links as time allows, and as I find them. Most links I already have bookmarked but I'm always on the hunt for more.

LOOK BOTH WAYS:
Eight alternatives to the sportsbike
   Riding in a variety of situations highlights the pros and cons of each and offers reasons why you could fall for one of them over a conventional, dull, 180+ mph sportsbike....
   Outrageous and Honda aren't two words used to being neighbors, but this massive, 1500cc shaft-driven monster doesn't play by anybody else's rules....
