This is very radical for Honda IMO. I like it, only thing I would change is that valve cover. It looks out of place.



2003 Honda Valkyrie

 

6 cyclinder, 1.8L!!!! I like the headers and Exhaust tips.

 

wowoowowowwwww

thats pretty sick, esp. since its a honda

 

It's hideous. I aplaud them for wanting to try something different and not just do another retro Harley clone, but this is gross. I'd say a regular or possibly girder front fork, get rid of some of the covers that add the mass look, trim down the rear fender, show off the engine. You'd be hard pressed to tote the little woman around on that thing, she'd smash the clam on that little pee pad.

 

this is a nice looking bike but no honda bike will EVER be as good as a Harley Davidson. Period.

 

what other mode of transportation besides a Harley Davidson has such a pride of ownership involved? such a sense of family and heritage....NOTHING can compare to harley in that department

 

You Pay 20K for this Valk. and You Pay 40K+ for Custom H.D.....

Honda is not a custom bike... HD is....

 

that looks like HEAVY bike

EDIT: 769lbs, my skinny ass would never keep that shinny side up.

 

i m wondering if that sounds like the typical american bike. which scared the shit out of me everytime they pass me by.....

 

First off, HD is not a Custom bike. This Valkyrie will probably sell for at least $20K would be my estimate. Like all bikes of today, it is just a question of the bike you want to ride. At this price range, you could go Goldwing, Valkyries, HD or even BMW.

The one thing I will say about riding a HD, is that the comradaries is unbelievable between HD riders. I do not believe any other bike groups has that. Maybe the Goldwingers, but they do not socialise much since they are knocking off 800 mile days.

IMHO.

 

that is a picture of the 2004 valkyrie rune that supposedly hits showrooms in late spring 2003.

with respect to lrutt's comments regarding clam-smashing, the little lady'd be hard pressed to ride pillion without any footpegs, but stranger things have certainly happened.

for what it's worth, this is a pic of the 2003 honda valkyrie:
