HONDA VALKYRIE
It's So Big....
   Quite a few observers likened the Honda to the Boss Hog V8 Chevy bike from the States. No doubt about it, it's BIG! The size and proportions are further emphasised by the....

HONDA'S VALKYRIE
Nothing Exceeds Like Excess
   Way back when flares were groovy, some of the Honda heavies were thinking of the ultimate motorcycle, an engineering tour de force, something so mind-blowing that it would rewrite the history books and knock the other manufacturers for dead....

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.

Big Bikes

   After all, once you sit on a Valkyrie, everything else will seem smaller than life.                                             (4810x3130)

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)
