Wish you could have the crew at Burt's teach every other Harley shop how to run a dealership. Great stuff amigo 👍

[@ValkyrieRider.]

Been riding a Valkyrie for 25 years now and still have two Standards. They do have different cams than the Gold Wing. I would be riding a Harley but rode a Valkyrie and got hooked.

[@bradleyyounger8499]

I ride a Harley and still wouldn't mind finding a valkyrie. Reliability of the goldwing but much better looking lol.. I can have more than one bike

[@vikingplumber9541]

As a proud Valkyrie Interstate owner, I would suggest getting the Touring model, & stripping it down to a naked Valkyrie. That way you still get the bigger gas tank. The smaller tank leaves you with only about 150 mile range.

[@anibal7069]

She’s already sold! That’s a crazy deal. You’d been lucky to find an interstate for 4k here in Florida. So sad I missed but at least someone else will get to enjoy it 🎉

[@brookscarter1691]

1600 bucks you can buy a rusty car that don't run here in Michigan. Lol.

[@craigwiess1656]

Bought my 97 GW for $3k last year in Michigan. In Ohio couldn't find one under 4k. A Valkyrie Interstate are $5k plus

[@bruceyung70]

True😂

For 1500 I can let you just look at one

Yo Shadetree, I've owned 2-97 standards and a '99 Interstate. Been riding Valkyries for the past 27 years. They are Fuckin Amazin! Get a standard or a tourer. You will be hooked for life. You Meet the Nicest People on a Honda Valkyrie/ Goldwing/ Fury. Keep the Shiny Shiny Side Up

[@treeguyable]

Found an 08 ultra, $500.00. 34,000 miles just cleaned the tank, and injectors, put all new stuff in the tank, a new battery, and cleaned it up ..Runs like new Looks almost new. I am now in the Harley league!

[@NotAffiliated]

6:30 LOL We both said "DAM!" at the exact same time because I guess that's the logical response to such a sound. That thing DOES sound bad ass!

[@brockpfund9669]

Love the look of the R18

[@keithhampton9700]

It's my dream bike Brock!!! Just too much money for me.😢

[@archasaurus]

That Valkyrie Interstate is one of the best touring motorcycles ever made. Bulletproof Goldwing motor with a batwing. Add the 6 into 6 cobra drags and and you have a real Street glide killer.

[@derekweaver5083]

I bought a new R18B at the end of 22 and have racked up right around 13k miles on it. I love it for many of the same reasons mentioned. Especially for just how completely different it is from everything else. I never have to worry about walking out and not spotting my bike in the sea of whatever glides. Mine has the option 719 galaxy dust metallic which is so cool and freaking beautiful! It's not without some tragic shortcomings in the engineering and design though. That fun rumble they designed to leave in the engine turns into an annoyingly numbing buzz at 3k rpm, which is 80mph in 6th. Highway cruising speed buzzes like an old 70s inline 4. Plus the fairing disrupts and misguides the air so poorly. Terrible buffeting from above and below the fairing. Blasting down the highway my helmet gets rattled so much, reading road signs can be difficult. Forget about hearing that powerful Marshall sound system at anything above 30mph. I do still like the bike. Its great fun to rip around on and gets a lot of compliments/interest, but for me it doesn't make up for how bad it is for touring. Which is what it is supposed to have been built for doing.

[@coyster530]

Good-looking bike but I can see how some of the fairings would cause wind buffeting which sucks cuz it looks like a really comfortable Touring bike

[@coyster530]

Id say sell it and get something you really like a Buell or MV Augusta or a rocket 3.

[@derekweaver5083]

@@coyster530 I'm thinking it's going to most likely get traded for an Indian Challenger or latest gen Goldwing. I turn 51 next month and I think it's time to embrace a full on old fat guy ride!

[@rickosborne6521]

I've always been a big v-twin stan, but that engine with the 6-into-6 exhaust is simply one of the greatest engine sounds of all time.

[@darkiee69]

Surf green and cream white, a classic combo, and a beautiful one. Should've had a white seat too.

[@coyote4936]

All the brown should be white

[@Paint_Can]

I have a 99 Valkyrie interstate, they are absolutely rowdy. The 6 into 6 cobra is still available, I just bought one a few months ago. The difference from the goldwing other than the 6 carbs is as you thought, a different cam and the interstate has different timing than the standard or tourer models. What’s crazy is it actually has more power with the stock exhaust but doesn’t sound anywhere near as good.

[@JustPlainCommonSense]

At 17:17 "I'm only 5' 12.5" " cracked me up!

[@seansimone-e6k]

I definitely agree. That’s one hell of a deal and that sounds just awesome. Like you said Porsche drag car wow.

Thanks for the great review on the R18B.. I have one and love it.. very misunderstood bike. I traded a street glide for it

[@jonesjonz1]

Damn that's an awesome deal for Valkyrie... new tires and some fuel treatment. Off you gooooo!

[@ryanshuff610]

I just bought a 1998 Valkyrie and definitely wanting to get some 6-6 pipes for it. Paid double the price of that one and Mines the base, no fairing, top box, or bags. Loving it!

[@TrailThug]

Now you're talking the blast from the past, A Valkyrie! F6C Wild bike... Hell Ya that why I ride 1...

[@michaeltait3783]

Still have my 99 Valkyrie interstate since new. I can’t believe there’s one for so cheap. I’m asked about mine everywhere I ride. There’s a new KLR in the garage so old girl Valkyrie sits still now but she still rocks.

[@Kingofthepnwdorks]

I’m probably one of the few under the age of 65 who love that teal/cream combo on the Indian. Was looking at softtail deluxe years that came in that scheme before I ended up on my 06.

[@Recycledhooligan]

That Beamer is a nice looking bike

[@danielmurphy4023]

I love brown leather on a bike it looks so good on that Indian

[@ItIsWhatItIsTV-]

That Valk bike might sell before the nights over and or this vid lol. Shoutout from westmonroe la.

This was a good Vid Mr Tree, enjoyed it greatly. Thanks for your efforts and time. Well done.

[@MsErica70]

About 10 years ago I got invited on a Harley ride with my valk my buddy on a stratoliner. Off the bat the valk made the Harley's look small. It got a lot of attention..specially the 6 shooter exhaust. We hit the road and I continually smoked even the built Harley's. The stratoliner was the only bike that could remotely hang. The disadvantage the Harley guys snickering every time we needed fuel. The strat drank like a fish too.

[@1984jmorton]

You would be absolutely correct on the rowdy. I am the one who bought that bike. It is a beast. Riding 2 up and it will cruise at 90 and not even be breathing hard.

[@lol9945]

So when my wife heard him describe that indian at putrid green and brown, she said “is ok it’s Florida they dont have as many colors down there.” (We both love that color)

[@georgebrzeczka3554]

And I believe the color that you're staying in front of was on a kitchen aid blender or mixer that came out.

[@budgreene8142]

I love the retro color combo & leather on the Indian

[@dm-pf3ht]

[@daltonmcelhaney8013]

[@tommylitchfield3450]

That Valkyrie exhaust is ... different... SIX shotgun pipes! I guess that wouldn't be shotgun pipes, but more like Pepperbox pipes, like those old pepperbox derringers with 5 or 6 barrels. It sounds really weird idling, but man, it RIPS when you twist it! Idling, it sounds like bubbles should be coming out the pipes :)

[@zombricone5898]

just picked up a 2024 bmw r18 roctane and its effin amazing. people are missing out

[@BP-xe7dw]

I have Aprilia 1200 and Harley Street Glide currently. On a long trip, the harley Vtwin configuration is so conducive to long travel by having so much foot space to change the position and make long trips so much easier. I have had many bikes, V twin configuration is my favorite. I don't like those two cylinders sticking where my feet are. Last year I made a trip from Seattle to La in one shot. Breeze on the Harley. I never thought I would like Harleys this much.

[@dstoffan89]

A Valkyrie is on my short list of bikes. My preferred "goldwing"

[@Recycledhooligan]

I’ll have the Valkyrie personally

[@jeffmatlowwildcattattoo523]

Harley did a similar color to that Indian, a little darker teal/with black, but that Chief is totally 40's -50's vibe with that sea foam and cream - the R18? Yes please, that thing looks like a 1930's art deco steam engine,love it!

[@dzimzy8699]

Love the Indian besides the fringe lol. I am saving up to buy a Valkyrie! They’re practically my dream bike!!!

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

Yo that Valkyrie was shredding haha! Awesome! I like Indian as well, they're cool bikes. Next to Harley's the BMW R18 is one I really started appreciating more over the years. They're less common over there and people are genuinely interested and intrigued by those bikes. I've seen other KZbinrs owning one, or riding on or a long term loan and it had the that effect on the people. I also appreciated them more around that time.

[@dextergleason9421]

At that price I’m not sure I would pass it up. It sounds great on video, I can’t imagine what it sounds like in person. Cool bike.

[@eggheadrocks8224]

one thing I have always liked about BMW, they never cared about being like Harley, they won't sacrifice their perfection just to fit in

Easter Sunday here but our cinema was opened so still worked yesterday going to bed now 2am will watch another time,working from 10 today hehe fun day riding around yesterday,after work gave a colleague ride home cuz busses were very rarely going then went visited dad,ate and then she wrote me to go give her a ride to a gas station to get a pack of ciggies cuz all the shops were closed since it's easter sunday But was fun riding around with her wanted to teach her how to ride too but i need a smaller bike for that haha my Bandit 600 not rly ideal for that

[@markmath2883]

I am an original owner of a 1997 Valk with 108,000 miles. It’s a great bike.

[@119topdawg]

If that Valky wasn’t an interstate I’d be in a plane to Tampa and riding it home. My brother, who has a gorgeous 2009 Road King Heritage, rode my 2017 Chief Vintage and was astounded and amazed at the power and ride, especially the corner and room on the Indian.

That BMW would look awesome either red or blue with spoke rims,it would look wicked 😊😊😊😊.

[@Kwhopperfan]

Willow green and ivory was one of my favorite color combos from Indian. I should have bought that Valkyrie last week. If it survived that beating it definitely was in great shape and the steering head bearings are no big thing to change just time consuming. Worth every penny.

Wow, three first gen Valkyries for sale in Sweden rn and they're $6000, $6500 and $7800 (most expensive one at a dealer) They were way more rare here, to be fair =) I'm stoked i got my 2005 BMW R1200ST for $2800 in december. Pretty rare bike and buying it in the middle of swedish winter was a good move. It just passed inspection (mandatory here in the people's republic of Swedistan) with flying colors so it's good for two years. My first ever ride on it was on my 40th birthday on 4/16, glad i like bike! A BMW boxer with less than 37.000 miles should last me a lifetime.

@@chadpunte1731 to summarize what shade tree said, there hasn’t been a bike like this is a long while. It’s thinking outside the box and they built the motor first and designed the chassis around it using cues from their past. Check out the development of this bike in their KZbin channel. I like it because it’s unique and I just like boxer motors and BMW bikes. I get there not everyone’s cup of tea, but you can’t compare any other cruiser to this one. It’s not just the next V twin. I think it just looks cool TBH.

I really like the R18. What kept me from buying one is the engine itself. I'm 6'3" and I can't stretch out. It's such a cool bike, but it just isn't made for tall people. Maybe there are some aftermarket tallboy seats for it, but whatever. It's a cool bike, and I hate to hear that it isn't selling well.
