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....

Valkyrie Tourer
   There comes a time when you've got to call the bluff. When you've got to put up, or shut up. And when it comes to custom motorcycles, Honda's incredible Valkyrie and our new Valkyrie Tourer silence all the pretenders to the custom throne, once and for all...

PERFORMANCE CRUISER CLASH
1997 Honda Valkyrie vs. Yahama V-Max
   Lord Acton's words regarding political power have rung true for centuries, and they also have their application to motorcycling. For those weak of will, susceptible to suggestion, twitchy of wrist or with a slight maniacal bent, having a bike that will launch off the line like a top fueler and shred rear tires means, well, utilizing those capabilities. Often. And with a great grin inside the helmet. These are the motorcycles your mother warned you about...

FIRST RIDE: HONDA VALKYRIE
Gold Wing With an Attitude
   It's almost here. Back in July of 1994, Motorcyclist printed an unauthorized photo of a Gold Wing-based cruiser, which Honda said was just a concept bike to test customer reaction. However, when Honda got word about Yahama's Royal Star, the rumor suddenly became real steel. Honda named it the Valkyrie, and it will arrive this spring as a 1997 model...

FIRST RIDES:
Space station-sized Honda Valkyrie lands on Earth. We make contact.
   Five minutes after picking up the Valkyrie, I rode into the heaviest thunderstorm this side of a horror film: thunder, lighting and the kind of wind that usually sets you down on a yellow brick road...
   Did I care? Nope, not at all. I spent the whole journey giggling like a schoolboy and whistling Born To Be Wild to myself.

First Aquaintance: Here comes the Valkyrie
   What do you call a motorcycle that's 38 inches across the bars and more than 8 feet long? The Valkyrie. That's what! Made in Honda's Marysville Ohio factory in the US of A, and powered by a tuned version of the highly acclaimed 1520cc, flat-six Gold Wing motor, that first came to the UK in 1988, the Valkyrie weighs in at 310kg (682lbs) and looks simply stunning. On paper, it outpoints all it's competitors by a huge margin but is it, as Honda claim, poised to take on the mantle of the "baddest bike on the boulevard"?

SPEED THRILLS
A 202 horsepower Valkyrie? Pass the laughing gas please
   WHAT DOES IT TAKE to make your heart pound? To make your toes tingle and your belly quake? For our ancestors it was lions, tigers and barbarity. Adrenaline was all about saving your ass. Nowadays a metabolic rush is more commonly a self-induced amusement--a tool used to heighten one's own sense of existence. It could be a run with the bulls, a ride on a roller coaster or jumping spread eagle from 15,000 feet. Or it could be ripping down the dragstrip on a nitrous-sucking Valkyrie...
