  Honda Valkyrie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Honda Valkyrie is a motorcycle manufactured by Honda, from model years 1996-2003.
Honda introduced a limited edition model in 2004 named the `Valkyrie Rune` which was a major departure from the original Valkyrie in styling, purpose and price ($25K - $26K).
The Valkyrie was made in the U.S.A. at the Honda motorcycle plant in Marysville, Ohio.

 Honda F6 Valkyrie Review--Oct/Nov 1997
Honda first revealed the Valkyrie prototype in 1994 to get a feel for the public support for the model.
Honda claims 101 horsepower and 101 foot pounds of torque measured at the rear wheel.
The basic difference between the standard model and the Valkyrie Tour is the addition of hard plastic saddlebags (which are painted to match the bike), a windshield and a passenger backrest.

 2004 Honda Valkyrie Rune 1800 - First Ride & Road Test Review - Motorcycle Cruiser
It's remarkable that Honda let its designers stray this far out of their usual boxes, and that the designers could spread their wings and fly so perfectly when they were released from those boxes.
Sure, Honda's designers knew that it had to be street legal, that that the ideas that became the T2 concept vehicle (which made the rounds at shows in 2000 and 2001) would need street lighting, real mufflers and other equipment to meet myriad regulations.
Honda will only say that there will be at least one per dealer and won't comment (and may not have decided) if any more will be produced -- ever -- after that.

 2004 Honda Valkyrie Rune Motorcycle - First Ride & Review - Motorcyclist Online
Honda's Road to the Rune started more than a decade ago, in product-planning meetings where the shape and makeup of future Honda cruisers were being discussed.
Honda had used the name "Custom" to designate its first cruisers, but dropped it, in part because a mass-produced custom seemed to be an oxymoron.
Honda stylists and management, however, had a desire to prove that the company not only understands the allure and beauty of an exotically rendered bike, but has the ability to create--and sell--such a motorcycle.

 Motorcycle Online: Ride of the Valkyrie
For instance, Honda's designers would surely have loved to make the riding position the feet-forward style adopted by their Shadow series, where the rider's feet and legs are splayed forward, so his or her toes are about parallel with the front of the frame cradle, ahead of the engine.
Honda made a big deal of the changes to the engine, including solid lifters, different cams, and the fitting of six individual chromed carburetors.
U-turns on a Valkyrie are equivalent to meeting a grizzly in the forest.

 Honda Motorcycle - Valkyrie
The Valkyrie engine is smoother but the twin cam 88B with the counter balance the Harley is also smooth and when you are going down the road the road bumps erase either engine’s vibration.
The Harley is the perfect tank to fill, the Honda has to have the worse tank in the world, it is too small and you have to fiddle for five minutes to get a fill on it.
Isn’t that a shock but your Honda dealer is selling you the same unimproved bracket that just broke on your bike for 10 times what it cost, so I almost laugh at how inexpensive some of the Harley items are and you will most likely recover most money you send on dress up parts.

 The Honda Valkyrie
In the case of the Valkyrie, being a completely new model, the number of accessories available both from Honda and from the after-market have been limited.
I used Honda petroleum based oil for the first 5000 or so miles and then switched to Honda synthetic (the price of which is preposterous!).
As it is, when you start your Valkyrie that last indication you have of what is going on in the "engine room" is when the oil light goes out (or, perish the thought, when it comes back on).

 Honda Valkyrie Rune - First Look & Review - Motorcycle Cruiser
The all-new version of the current Valkyrie has six cylinders, the wildest styling ever to roll off an assembly line, and can be yours for something north of $25,000 or so, depending on how willing your Honda dealer is to part with the unit he is allotted.
The logical speculation is that Honda will have a less radical Valkyrie with the Rune's 1832cc engine to replace the Valkyrie 1500 in the near future, but we have no confirmation or reliable rumors to that effect.
Honda won't make many Runes, but you won't mistake it for anything else when you see one.

 Motorcycle Online: Honda Valkyrie Interstate v. Yamaha Venture
While the Venture is the better integrated motorcycle, the Honda Valkyrie Interstate might be nothing more than an excuse to showcase the 1520cc, flat six-cylinder engine that makes 94.6 hp at 5800 rpm and 91.9 foot-pounds of torque at 4700 rpm.
Basically, the Valkyrie engine is a hopped-up Gold Wing engine reconfigured with six 28mm carbs (compared to the twin set found on the Gold Wing), revised camshaft timing and a freer flowing exhaust.
The Valkyrie Interstate offers 130 liters of cargo space, and the side bags are well made in that that are not flimsy, but they are awkward to use.

The Valkyrie portion is a mere 16 pages of the 144 total, most of that being photos, and all of the content focuses on the Standard model [no mention of the Tourer or my ride, the Interstate model].
My hope is that, since Honda has apparently pulled the plug on the Valkyrie line [no offense to the Rune model], either this author or others will see fit to document the birth and death of motorcycling's first true heavy cruiser.

The large displacement engine is fed by six separate 28mm CV carbs, the cam timing is more radical, redline is higher, and the cruiser uses a more free flowing six-into-six exhaust system which produces an exhaust note all its own.
Riding the Valkyrie, especially behind the full windscreen, is an experience in itself.

Although we don't have time to edit photos (we'll post more this evening), Honda also announced, as expected, a new 600 supersport (see yesterday's article with photos), and, quite unexpectedly, a 250 four-stroke motocrosser and 250 electric-start, four-stroke off road machine.
