    For pointers on NOT how to sell a Valkyrie, search in the Dumbass thread for posts about Willey. Legendary.

    You're right about the sound; there's one like that around here. Good luck!

    That's a beauty! People always talk about the sound of a CBX, but a Valkyrie sounds even better, once opened up a bit.

    In my opinion, that's the best cruiser Honda ever made. They should've stuck with their boxer six, instead of another line of "me too" V-twin cruisers. To be fair, Honda made V-twin Shadows for a long time, but that's not really what they're known for in cruisers.

    Looks pretty easy to work on, compared to a 'wing. Not much tupperware to remove to change a rear tire.
