Introduced in the 1997 model year, based on American Honda's proven 22 year flagship Gold Wing; made in Marysville Ohio by American workers and covered with "Made in USA"
markings, the 1520 CC Honda Valkyrie puts out about a hundred ponies on the wheel dyno from it's Porsche style boxer-6 engine with six carbs; is widely regarded by experienced bikers who have sampled her charms as the
finest all-around motorcycle ever conceived, and is named after the battle maidens of Nordic mythology who escorted the fallen warriors to Valhalla, literally your Ride to
Heaven. The Fat Lady has sung! Speaking of Fat Lady songs, how about Die Walkure: "Ride of the Valkyries" from Richard Wagner's
famous tetralogy of music dramas "Der Ring des Nibelungen". That's the one the played during the helicopter attack in "Apocalypse Now". Easy Rider defined the sixties. One of the most important movies of our
time. And an OUTSTANDING sound track. Click on the icons...
