Mate both your bike are awesome but I would have to go with the old school valkyrie..Good on ya mate all the best ..

Hey, thanks! I'm the guy with the EXACT car in Chicago bought 3 years old late 2020. Last year I bought some Nokian winter tires and I'm paying an arm and a leg to get them switched out and stored (don't have a garage like you!) each season (worth it). I might try hunting down some rims. Still dig the car, it's wonderful!

What type of engine does this suv have

Hey, nice video! How did the shed do since you put this on? I just built a shed in london and im thinking to do this as i have a black cab mot service shop close to me so basically unlimited used engine oil.

When you touch the motor oil please use gloves, Oil is carcinogenic

Looking into a 09 Honda VTX 1300. Worth it for 4000? 18000 miles

Where to buy?

I have had my 1997 Valkyrie 27 years and have never had to adjust or take apart my carbs. I ride. Keep gas flowing through them and you'll never have a problem. Also use the best gas, yes premium but from a name brand that is "Top Tier". (it will say on the pump)

Did you really just put a helmet on!? 🤣

10-bolt rear-end in a 396 SS? Yeah right. Even some 327's came with 12-bolts. Better install a bearing supportive diff cover if you are putting out any hp.

I know this video's 3 years old, but maybe you're planning to hang onto the last of the best gen like me. If you ever decide to get rid of your stock mufflers, I'd love to buy them.

Hello do you know where I can find parts and charger for it?

@Drive315 I see you sold both bikes, what did you replace them with? I have the VTX 1800 2002 only 6k miles on it, but I am leaning towards to GW bagger version. One reason why is the reverse feature. You're right the VTX is a heavy ride, and being an Airborne vet father time has caught up with my knees so I am really eyeing the Gold Wing. Plus I am very interested in the DTC feature as well.

I have a 2002 mint VTX 1800C, its a beast 6K miles. But thinking about going to a Gold Wing

All three of Mine turn off after 5 min is that normal they are brand new they get full sun on my shed and have been up for about 2 days could the battery be bad if so do you know what size it takes

I can pedal faster 😳 what kind of motor is that????

The cobra pipes sounds so mean do you have the baffles on or off ? Have you did anything to make them sound like that

love my fz07 but my God the horn button gets smacked by my monster thumb almost everytime i try and turn my signals on.

You have to be careful on even a stock Valkyrie. It is a bad ass machine. I bought mine in 1997 and it took me 500 miles to get used to it's massive power and even when you look down at the tank, you think, WTF did I just buy. Here I am 27 years later with the same bike and can't find a fault.

This should work just fine for the 2023 Mt07 as well right?

Are these cars reliable?

Always wanted a Valkyrie. So, I bought a frame, a salvage engine, and the rest of the bike in pieces. Took 9 months to build it. Based on the '99, it was sure some jigsaw puzzle! I am the original owner (of this collection of assembled parts) and have had it for about 10 years. I am the only person to have ridden it as well. On my test ride after completing the build, I rode it from S. Mississippi to the 15th annual meeting of the VRCC in Spearfish, SD, in 2015. Then, on to the Canadian border at Antlers, ND. Got a tank of bad gas somewhere, and the rear valve stem gave out. Those were the only issues. I still have it, and yes, I still ride it. Currently it is fitted with a Velorex sidecar for a grocery-getter. Sure gets the looks! Not much to look at rattlecan paint job, but hey, who needs a fancy paint job anyway? I love it as it is. So, is it a Valkyrie, or a replica? I don't care. Only cost me time and a few thousand, but, the experiences have been priceless!

'01 Interstate. LOVE IT! Valkyries love to fly! My old V65 was quicker but not by a whole lot, my '97 Shadow ACE 1100 has great pull but is no match Torq wise but retains the factory pipes and that sweet V twin sound and it's so fun to ride, so I've kept it for those times you just need to hear it. Can't beat a Honda. Also owned: CT70, ST90, CB350. Oh and a '71 Cuda! Have a nice day!

2000 interstate here, 98000 miles wood not trade it for anything. Unless someone offers me 9500.00 for it getting to old to ride.

Nice. I put 60k miles on my 1979 Valk Tourer - just like yours. My Uncle also had one and when we'd ride together side by side the sound of 12 cylinders firing together was amazing. When I got mine very few people had ever seen such a thing. That engine with 6 carbs and 6 separate exhaust pipes was like six 250's. Like three 500 BMWs. Like two 750 inline 3 cylinder engines. Oh the sound and the feeling. Pure magic. The twin just didn't do it for me. The Even Fire twin was smooth and made good power and fuel economy but it sounded like a really big single cylinder. Good for some, not for me. Thanks for publishing this piece. Many good memories. Be careful out there.

How long does the gas in the tank last

Looks like nobody has mentioned about, putting paddle tires on it. I put paddle tires on mine. And does just fine.

Don’t over tighten the hold down. Tighten until it dosent slide in the tray and your good. Same with the battery terminals. If you over tighten them the clamp will stretch and the connection will become loose.

Great idea for a video!

1:44, 2:18. The first time Cobra pipes have ever sounded slightly better than the V&H.

Im 67 and have chance to buy a 98 valkrye with 18k one owner miles for 2500..only worry i have is weight of bike,,im almost 6 ft and weigh 216,,still pretty strong f or my age,,is the bike hard to handle at slow speeds etc like some heavy harleys

Original stock looks and sound better IMO

Good stuff, new to the channel. Just subscribed. Picking up an '05 vtx 1300 this weekend, 1st motorcycle I'm a bit nervous bigger guy ideally I wanted to start off with like 750 or 900cc even sat on a few harley sportsters the iron and 1200 classic but the vtx felt the most comfortable and for a steal. Would you say it's a good 1st bike? Or is it too much bike to start off with? Thanks and keep Rocking*

In Australia where i live we can't take motorcycle out of our yard to practice in car park unless we have a Unrestricted full Licence Person with us to Supervise us ! We can only go do Learners Course to get our Learner Licence ^ even then we can't ride on public roads unless we have person with unrestricted licence with us on his bike supervising ! We cant take our bike to car part to practice on our own by way of riding on public road ! unless we can load bike into / onto a trailer then drive car with trailer & bike to car park & practice!

Explain the Friction zone matey 🤔

I am 5'5" 110lbs and I had my first ride on one of these. Normally I run into the problem of not being able to touch the floor or not being able to control bigger bikes due to my size, but I picked up on the VTX 1800 pretty quickly. Easier to control than she looks. I am now the proud owner of said VTX 1800r :)

Neither. Stock is ultimately the only way to go.

You know that a atv is not designed for smooth road work. They are made for woods trail work. 😅

I just bought a Honda Grom the other day. My daily is a Honda Civic type R, but I’ve always wanted to learn on a bike so I figured the grom was a perfect size for me. Your video was very helpful and I’m very nervous to learn but excited.

Just got mine yesterday and absolutely love it So much better than my 2015 Yamaha Stryker and wife's 2023 Vulcan S Would love to ride the Valkyrie after watching your review

I took a Grom on my road test. I only got marked up for not merging quick enough onto the highway. 😂 If you have to go over 80kmh(50mph) You really gotta ride it like you stole it!

That honda accord looks clean fr

Wayyyyyyyyy too much rambling

what kind of bike is that?

That sound of the bike comes across great. Apart from the voice mic crackle. Do you prefer this 1300 better to the 1800?

I love the rough sound 😂 for vtx

use surgical tubing to keep the body from falling off - its the one true fix - works great

40 k an hour

Honda is a company full of idiots. Ending bikes everyone loves and creating bikes nobody wants.

When the Coupe was redesigned for the 7th Gen the car was meant to replace the prelude. In my opinion they should have kept the prelude name.
