Faults:

The only thing wrong when I bought this beautiful bike was the seats. It had sat outside in Iowa for approximately 5 years.

General Comments:

This Valkyrie gets a lot of Harley owners looking at her. With its great looks and power to match, it's hard not to notice.

You don't buy these for gas mileage, but I average 36.5 MPG overall. 32MPG at 85mph.

Winding roads are a blast on the Valkyrie. I fold the pegs all the time, and have yet to drag the pipes.

The flat 6 with the 6 carbs turns heads everywhere.

The only bike that I have owned (all Gold Wings) that is comparable to the Valkyrie, is my 1985 GL1200 Limited.

Enjoy the ride.

Faults:

This GL-1500 Valkyrie, is possibly the most reliable motorcycle I have ever owned.

I own two of another, more popular, "American Made" motorcycle, but the Valkyrie is just as comfortable as my '07 Ultra, and handles like a sport bike.

My Valkyrie, with its six carbs, is WICKED FAST!!!

Faults:

No problems!

General Comments:

Muscle car fun on 2 wheels.

Extremely comfortable on long or short rides, even with 2-up riding.

Consistently gets 38 MPG.

Lots of aftermarket items available.

Smooth and reliable POWER!

Faults:

Nothing. Not one thing. Got some dead bugs on it though.

General Comments:

No bike fits everyone the same, but for me this bike is just about perfect.

You can cruise and shift at low RPM's with no fear of stalling or lagging. You can shift at red line and suddenly you're on a sport bike.

The looks are awesome. Keep the chrome clean and it's blinding.

I have owned many bikes and borrowed many more from friends. Nothing compares to a Valkyrie. Makes Harleys seem punky.

Faults:

The carbs have to be synced, and there are six, so it is a little tricky.

General Comments:

Big and comfortable.

Good power, but not great.

Handles well for this type of bike.

Very reliable, and though it is eight years old, it still looks new.

Faults:

Nada.

General Comments:

Heavy at slow speeds, but very flick-able at normal speeds, goes where you point it; handles bumps like a car.

The tank is fat, and you get a bit of hip cramping after a few hours.

People stop me and compliment me on the looks of all the chrome. I tell them it is straight out of the box, no enhancements, and they don't believe me.

Beetle Bags complete the look, and make it more functional.

Faults:

Nothing has ever gone wrong with this bike, ever.

OK, well, I did pick up a nail in the back tire, but, it never went flat and I fixed it. The GL1500C is possibly the most reliable motorcycle I have ever owned.

General Comments:

OK, acceleration. Wow, holy cow. It's real, real strong.

When I bought my bike it had been upgraded with a six into six cobra exhaust with rejetted carbs. On the dyno it showed 104 horsepower at the rear tire. It is frighteningly quick with more torque than my car. It runs with the $30-$40,000.00 custom choppers and never even gets winded.

When I bought the bike, used, it was also upgraded with a touring seat, a Honda line windshield, highway pegs, saddle bags, highway light bar and little nick-nacks here and there. So, this bike can smoke the bikes that cost five times more out of the parking lot and then go 700 miles, all in the same day. How great is that!

If I have a complaint, it would be that the Valkyrie gets bad gas mileage, for a motorcycle. I guess for space shuttle acceleration one must make sacrifices. What that means is that I must make a gas stop every two hours or so, and it's not optional.

The Valkyrie has big fat tires front and back. It also has big inverted forks and fat shocks. What all that means is that it will carve through the mountains like a pro. It does run out of ground clearance fairly quick, but, up to that point you can ride like Kenny Roberts.

I love the Honda Valkyrie F6. I love it. I have owned it for three years and it is still as good as the day I brought it home for the first time. For most of the year I leave the windshield off and just ride in the open wind. The Valkyrie just cruises wonderfully. Then, if I want to drive the five hours over to Gatlinburg or Knoxville, I just throw the windshield on and go for some lunch. Ten hour days are very possible on a Valkyrie. In fact, they are fun.
