What Is It?

The Honda Valkyrie is a cruiser style bike which is based on the Goldwing GL1800 tourer. It's powered by a Euro 3 compliant liquid cooled 1,832 cc flat six cylinder engine, producing 114 bhp at 5,500 rpm and maximum torque at just 4,000 rpm.

 Features include:

• Aluminium twin spar frame, shaft final drive
• Dual 310 mm discs up front with Nissin four piston calipers
• 316 mm disc at the rear with Nissin three piston caliper
• Dual channel ABS system
• 45 mm fork
• Rear shock with pre-load adjustment
• White LED lighting all round
• Negative LCD dash
• Side-mounted radiators
• 5 speed gearbox (5th is overdrive)

Unlike the GL1800, which it's essentially a stripped down version of, it's a whopping 80kg lighter, has bigger wheels, a 1.8 litre smaller tank, 6 mm lower seat and higher handlebars.

Much of the weight loss comes from axing the panniers, trunk, fairing, electric gadgets, reverse gear and pillion seat but you also save over £6,000 on the price. Unlike the larger GL1800 the ABS system isn't combined. The 10-spoke 19" front wheel takes a 130/60 tyre and the rear 17" a 180/55.

Accessories include LED fog lamps, leather panniers, screen, Chrome side stand and wind deflectors.

Colours: Black, dark red, candy red 40th anniversary edition (2015)

F6C stands for Flat Six Custom but over the pond it's known as the Valkyrie.
