1996 I worked at scona Honda in Edmonton and I pulled the very first 1997 Valkyrie out of the box !

[@craigmanning2439]

You sir are a Hero. I have a black 97 standard, purchased it from a guy that owned a Porsche dealership in Houston. It is the reason I started riding. Bought a Suzuki 800 as a trainer and then after I got comfortable purchased the Valk(Raven). I love my bike.

[@benkrom2737]

Buddy of mine bought one of these and let me take it for a ride. Smooooth ride/acceleration. Freight train amount of torque. Pretty agile at speed, just an awesome rider.

[@wesleyoos71]

I'd take that over a harley any day.

[@armyguy832004]

I have a 97 valkyrie with 137,000+ miles. 6 to 6 exhaust, full GPS fairing, 215 dark side rear tire.

I love the Honda Valkyrie my dad had a 1800 VTX Cruiser in 2005 and I used to ride it when I was 15 all the time

I have a 1998 but mine is the red and cream. It has had all the same Chrome added too. The Faux open intake tubes get a lot of comments! Mine has custom 6 into 2 exhaust that has clip in inserts (not baffles) that make it a lot louder and increase power with them in the pipes. They are amazing bikes. I have had a lot of bikes and my wife loves riding on the back of the Valkyrie best.

[@spreaddeezhazelnutz7511]

Damn, I’d ride that thing across the country. Seriously a sweet bike!

[@richarddolan986]

I'm 5'7" 175lbs I have no problems with the size and wieght. Its the only bike ive driven since 1999. The hard bags are great you can find them somewhere.

[@sll-tt6bj]

Love the Valkyrie would love to find one like that

[@XnnorDaveB]

Just Imagine having something like that and due to health have to give it up ... What a bike !

[@rodgerweed2010]

I can't believe how nasty and throaty that think sounds!

[@richarddolan986]

You look like my cousin. I have a 2001.

[@stephenbrouillette4541]

Cool car. 😅

[@nelsonphilip4520]

No doubt about it that Honda is second to none for adapting automobile engineering into their motorcycle products. That being said, the Valkyrie is a bike thru & thru!

[@richarddolan986]

I have a 2002 Tourer If you can buy one buy two!!!

[@WerkToday]

I prefer gen1 over gen2..

[@nelsonphilip4520]

It's seems that BMW would agree as their new heritage flagship R-18 mimics more of the Honda Valkyrie then any H-D type .

[@WerkToday]

Honda Valkyrie = "Chooser of the Slain "

[@mr.m325]
