The only downside of these bikes is that if you are in a hurry, you will be late for whatever it is, but only because everywhere you go you have people coming up to you and admiring it and asking questions. A cruise to the store for me almost always ends up in an impromptu bike show, lol!
Dude said it had a flat 6 and I was like “no way it sounds like a porsche” and then he started it and I was like “holy crap it sounds like a Porsche”
it sounds so smooothhhhhhhhhhhhh
Porsche actually helped develop this engine with Honda.
It somewhat resembled an air cooled motor
@@moustachio334 That was the Harley V-rod Porsche helped with. This is just the Gold Wing motor.
Damn I need one NOW! I had NO IDEA they sounded so good 😮
I wish Shawn knew more about the Valkyrie, but we still love him.
First off, the model ranges are Standard, Tourer, and Interstate. The bike being ridden is a Standard. Next, it's a nickel that is balanced on the cylinder head when the bike is off, then the bike is started and the nickle stays standing. A smooth running Valkyrie can be rev'd to red-line without the nickle falling over.
The VRCC (Valkyrie Riders Cruisers Club) keeps a list of High Mileage bikes. We have a member that has 653,000 miles on his Valkyrie (July 2019), and she's still going strong. I have a 2001 that I have tricked out, and is my daily rider. I inherited the bike from my Dad and have proclaimed it is the last bike I'll ever own.
Thank you for promoting these great bikes.

Shawn does Know more now, than he Knew before he read your comment.
Tom Skaggs haha right!
Watch out everyone....the spelling police is in the house.
@Joe Bloggs "infinite". Your wisdom is profound.
@Joe Bloggs Ironically, your comment is ridden with grammatical errors.
I had 2 Valks- If you really want to make it sound amazing- Cut the cans off right behind the front exhaust hanger, and slide 4” truck stacks on the pipe and self tap to mount the pipe to the rear exhaust hanger. I didn’t even have to rejet the carbs. AMAZING BIKES-
only costs a small contribution to the local city budget everytime u ride 👮♂️ ( atleast in most of europe )
I thought I was being pranked when you first started her up...
Same
That's not a 6 into 6 Cobra. Have it on mine. He's wrong.
@@deadmanwalking173 I have 3 exhaust pipes on each side of mine, no baffles.
Take the baffles out sounds lot better
@@balmeros272 yeah his weights and stuff also seem off
I searched “Gold Wing 1500”, and this video came up.
But look at the title, there’s no 1500 in the title.
Well done, CZcams ! And thanks to Srkcycles for firing up this cool sixshooter.
Had the identical bike for about 7-8 years and loved it. They never break and can run 300-400K miles easily. Really needs cruise to tour, and a better seat.
All you armchair guys with the negative comments have obviously never ridden one of these magnificent beasts. I have a 2000 Tourer that brings a smile to my face every time I start it. The Valkyrie is a true symphony of all the sensations that make a motorcycle great, and the rider is the conductor. No machine before or since can hold a candle to it. Best Honda and probably the best sport touring motorcycle ever made. Smooth, powerful, stable as a tank, beautiful, reliable, comfortable, nimble on it's feet, and easy to maintain. What more can you ask of a bike? I will have mine for keeps.
remythemaltipoo - C’mon...sport tourer? Great bike, but it isn’t a sport tourer by ANY definition.
remythemaltipoo
But does it come in a SCRAMBLER configuration?
Eh. What more? It's a cruiser pretty much. I can ask less weight. Street triple r. Duke.
couldnt agree more... mine is absolutely brilliant... ride one!... then comment 😁
One thing we could ask for - PARTS AVAILABILITY FOREVER !!!
Dude your videos are addictive!! you have a way of connecting with the viewers!! keep up the good work!
I've had my standard Valkyrie for 16 years and will never get rid of it,just passed 100,000 last year. Apart from regular servicing and the usual consumables,the only thing I've had to replace were the timing belts and that was just for piece of mind. I also have the 6 into 6 pipes but didn't bother rejetting as I love how it pops and sounds when you open it up😎. I'm lucky enough to own 3 other bikes ( 1150GS,R1200CLC,Goldwing 1500) but the Valk is definitely my fave. Love the channel and the reviews,keep up the good work👍. Lots of respect from Scotland.
I bought one 3 years ago and I absolutely love it.
Maybe the smoothest bike ever, best handling big cruiser and plenty of power.
It surprised me that it handles better than my 750 Shadow bobber that weighs about 200lbs less.
I don't think I could live without it now.
John great video I personally Old Time Rider been through Harley-Davidson clamp Etc have a new 1800 Valkyrie wish I had had it in so many years ago what a hassle-free easy to work on motorcycle
I love your videos and gotta say I 've never ever seen you driving that fast before... That bike is AWESOME!!!!!
This is the bike Thor would ride.
Squirrel!
I don't get it
When i first saw those Valkyrie’s I fell in love with them and I will own one at some point..I like the older models like that one of course..the new ones are cool but look a bit too gold wing space age
Not a Cobra exhaust. Stock exhaust with the Hondaline Triple Tips. Goldwing-based engine but not the same. Hotter cams.
I have a Cobra 6 into 6. Makes that sound like a Nancy bike.
And 6 carbs!
I appreciate you making this video. I just bought one today, 1998 with 22,000 miles on it!
it saunds like a sport bike .. blees U guys ..love B&B and SRK Chanels watching constantly for 4 days now ..awesome job on thouse videos ... louds of love from Poland
Just brought my second one! These bikes rock! V-twin cruisers eat it's dust, winter time stabilizer and never had a problem... once you have one of these you can't go back to a v-twin engine..
Your comment reminded me...when I was looking for my first bike, the local shop had a Valkyrie and I was just in amazement - was like, who the hell rides a bike THAT big? Two years later, I bought one. They are enchanting machines...some might even call them dragons.
Yeah. No. I don’t think anyone ever has or ever would call it a dragon lol.
Yes I was always fascinated with Valkyrie “cruiser.” I’m surprised they didn’t sell a lot more of them. Beautiful bikes.
they are like a mothership 👍
@@loweredyote8416 there are actually several people that call them dragon
Thank you for using your phone for the words of wisdom. All those dropped Post-It notes were driving me mad.
Had a '97 Tourer for 12 years, (same color scheme). The Tourer had the hard bags and the plexiglass windscreen. Mine had an aftermarket full faring. I loved it and it was bulletproof. I'm in a GL1800 Wing now since I'm a little bit older now and the Wing is more comfortable for long trips. I also never had to rebuild the carbs, just replace some of the small hoses under the gas tank. They dry out because they are so small.
Talks about carbs..@ 6:37 realizes choke has been on whole time then takes it off lolol
Lol wow you have the eyes of an eagle to spot that! 😆😆
@@BikerBenny Can hear it the whole ride with that high idle haha
@@jetstream454 you hear him say "oh" for a millisecond.
Bahahahahaha..!!
I wish I could strut in to work and say, "Cue the intro". I mean I suppose I could, but it would merely be met with confusion or laughter.
The man has a good job, doesn't he? I wish I could ride bikes around for a living haha
@@ChrisF116 Sean's living the dream.
Yeah Sean is living the dream, God bless him. Unfortunately he has to work with Caleb and Harrison, so it isn't all rainbows and unicorns.
@@ChrisF116 not only do I wish I could ride as many bikes at Shawn. I wish I could buy as many bikes.
@@ChrisF116 Why can't you? All it takes is 20 hour days, long drives to look at bike after bike, find the best mechanics to fix the inventory, find good staff to keep you in business, and faith in the Lord that all will come out good in the end. :)
You are correct on this bike, I’m a retired Harley-Davidson mechanic and I ride one of these coast to coast every year, so powerful,reliable and comfortable, I only paid $2000 for an interstate the full dressed model, I like to have things that not too many people have just like to be different and this is different great ride most people won’t understand until they ride one.
$2K for an Interstate is an astonishing bargain, that's impressive! I have an IS as well, '01. The machine is unreal. I can't get over how impressive it is, AND, it's probably the most "American" motorcycle in the past 50 years. Designed, manufactured and assembled in Marysville Ohio. ALL original Valkyries come from the same place. I get a lot of Harley guys say "Yeah but it's still Jap Scrap" and then I see their faces wrinkle when I tell them the Valkyrie is more US than their Harley.
@@tjclarke4604 You're fullashit! More American than a Harley
@@MrDynafxdc But it is. Sorry to hurt your feelings.
Over the weekend bought a 98 touring same paint scheme matching bags 21000 miles. Rode it home 700 miles. Loved it!!!!
In the late 90’s I was at a biker bar in Lake Lure, NC. I and my now wife were on my 1100 ACE and a guy and I started talking bikes. He was on on a Valkyrie. He had rebuilt it after the original owner had been killed on it. He tossed me the key and said to take it for a spin. If you have ever been on the road around Lake Lure, you know how tight and curvy it is. This huge bike was amazing. It handled incredibly. The acceleration was addictive! I have never forgotten that experience!
When I am watching your videos I always have this smile on my face. You remind me of why I got a leg over a saddle first time. The passion
Ok after hearing that exhaust sound I'm on classifieds looking for one lol.
Great video, awesome bike, thank you!
Great video with humour thrown in for good measure. The horn sounded like a windscreen washer motor or maybe it’s a buzzer to indicate that the horns not working. Lovely bike though. Regards, Bob M, South Wales
I had the Interstate with the full fairing and hard bags, wish I still had it!
To say it’s smooth is an understatement!
I've had 2 and loved them both. I feel like it's a comfortable cruiser that can still give me a sporty thrill.
I own one of these it’s my second bike I’ve owned and I hope it will be a constant in my collection for sure
Loved that you read a verse before heading for the ride❤️
Watching this in January, in Illinois so I can vicariously remember my '98 Valk languishing in the garage as she dreams of early spring sunny days tearing up the asphalt.
I love you Valk.
Freeport
Your personality changes while your riding, shows you really enjoy riding. You must enjoy riding so many different bikes, most people never get that experience.
I had three. The sound alone is worth it, even stock they sound amazing. Miss them all three.
New fav motorcycle channel!
I'm right there with you; I've had 3 Valkyrie's... a dark green/cream '97 Tourer (that I bought new off the showroom floor and have regretted selling for 20 years); a '98 Standard (like you're riding here, that a previous owner had added Leatherlyke saddlebags and an aftermarket windshield); and my current '98 Tourer that I am holding on to and will be able to put collector plates on in 2 years. Nothing like a Valkyrie.
wow u are so right. its gonna be a classic mc in a few years. i need one in my life 😻
30 years here in denmark for the black plates 😻
I love your honest and informative videos. Thanks also for your "words of wisdom". We can all benefit from them.
'
Beautiful weather for these bike shoots 👍🏼
I used you motorcycle tie down method and I love it
I went to a motorcycle dealer in Wisconsin and he didn't like that I took over and used your method
I LOVE IT
I have a 2000 Valkylrie Interstate with only 36K miles and everything you said is dead on. Sounds like a Ferrari, nimble has hell and unreal pull! Picked it up for $5K with a tour pack and an unreal radio that I Bluetooth my playlists on! It Has lockable helmet hangers, locking seat, intercom cable, fog lights!
A Beast!
Have a 1997 Valkyrie, love it!!! Best bike I’ve owned
Spoo ... yes indeed I’m sure Thor has ridden many Valkyrie's. It’s such a great bike, have always loved them, and the engine just "shines". So ahead of its time.
I have 97 also. Green and cream with 30,000 miles.
I just bought a 97 tourer with 58k. Picked it up for $3k, I think thats a steal.
iv learned alot watching u thanks
My friend has 2 of these bikes one this same color but with hard saddlebags same color as the bike. I love riding them so smooth & plenty of power..
It sounds similar to my vfr800, can't get enough of that growl!!
My all time favorite big bike. Honda should have brought these back alongside the CB1100. I would love fuel injection instead of six carbs. I’ve only seen one of these in person and it sounds amazing. Porsche and Honda worked on this engine together.
Every bike you say ....” I love this bike !!!!” 🤣
He can't sell a bike if he calls it a POS.
I love every bike I ride to
The sound of this bike reminds me a lot of an air-cooled 911. Love it.
Yeah, boxer engines are quite unique
So, I bought a '98 standard with a terribly funky windshield and the same bags as seen on this bike. Actually, the windshield was fine. The homemade brackets were funky. I don't like windshields on my bikes, so no problem. Off they came. The bags are absolutely excellent. Leatherlyke brand with bottom braces. They have incredible weight capacity with the brackets underneath. One Valkyrie is great. Two is better. Three and four are pretty good. Keeping them running requires some doing, thanks to the fuel pollution added at the behest of government. The two sets of three carburetors have fuel bridges that often leak, and MUST be repaired. See one burned up Valkyrie and you will know how critical it is. Since I sold one of the four to my friend from my childhood, we have taken several rides with our bikes both equipped with Cobra 6÷6 exhaust. When we rev them out on the freeway, they sound like a furious Ferrari. Also, the first thing I did in adjusting the bike to fit me, I rolled the handlebars forward a few degrees. Enormous improvement. Another thought. I have added loud horns from AutoZone, or any similar source. I power them through a relay to keep from pulling too much amperage through the original horn's wiring. Each of my three Valkyries has a different configuration and a different "personality". My favorite is a stripped down solo seater in gloss black, satin black, and chrome. Definitely needs the wheels polished to high gloss, someday. Gotta fix the transmission output shaft first.
I think I'm going to have to get a portion 911 with a blown motor and put a valkyrie motor in it
Don't you mean a water cooled Porsche?
Love your channel... I have watched plenty of reviews and as of now the Valkarie would be my choice. I like the idea of a smoother 6 cyl boxer... Lower center. Smooth is good. Vtwins are overdone
There was a goose squawking at you towards the end 😂
What ya have there son is a Valkyrie 1500C. "C" for cruiser. This is not the tourer which has hard bags and windshield. You got aftermarket soft bags and an aftermarket windshield. There is no "roadster". There is an interstate model with a batwing windshield. Mine is a '98 1500C w 18K miles. Love it! Smoooooooth as silk!
Picked up a 1999 Valkyrie a few months ago low miles. Putting new tires fork seals and timing belts on her. They are great bikes... love mine.
The motorcycle shop I use has this outside. It's gorgeous, man.
Great review of the bike I just bought one of these and I'm in love with it
Just hearing the sound of that motor made me smile. Thanks for this.
Me to bro
I am an original owner of a ‘’97 Valkyrie with 106,000 miles. It has 101hp/103 ftlbs torque (later models were lower); carbs never touched and does 0-60 in 3.6 seconds. Your bike is the basic model, not the tourer. The Tourers had windshield, lowers and hard saddlebags. The Valk is an easy bike to ride, extremely comfortable, handles well with low center of gravity and is a blast to ride. Gas mileage is not great, but can run 130 miles before reserve: 30 mpg.
Does it come decked out with all that chrome and bags? Does the window shield provide coverage?
this is more like my e39 bmw 520 , its silent when cruising but if you revv it it has a sound which reminds of this bike just not very loud cause the interior is quite sound insulated and the exhaust isnt loud
We who own them call that one standard, the others are Tourer and Interstate. We also LOVE our bikes. I can pass anything (except a gas station :) ). I try to use non-ethanol gas exclusively for local riding (and especially for winter storage).
That little bag on the back can hold your Ron Popeil's pocket fisherman and a tiny tackle set.
It's a very nice looking and sounding bike, and under normal acceleration it sounds kinda like a 90s Skyline with a sequential transmission (one of my dream car builds). 👍
Definitely an awesome one of kind sound
the Valkyrie has a lot of internal motor components that make it much more hot-rodded versus the even smoother flat-six cylinder motor in the Gold Wing
"you gonna put a v12 in a bike?"
* Alan Milyard has just joined the chat
You need to do a comparison with the old and the 14-15 Valkyrie
the old ones are faster,but the new have bettter top end. the 0-60 and the quarter still owned by the origanal valkyries
Hahaha, the horn alone would sell me!
You had me at six cylinder!
I first noticed the big engine on these years ago and did some research and have wanted one since. But would probably still buy a sport touring bike.
What state is this? Loved the views during the ride (:
That's a REALLY awesome beastie, love it 😉
Deym. That actually sounds Really really good.
I think that might be my next bike which I hadn't have a bike in like 20 years but why not!... Except I live in California and I love your videos and I'm kind of spoiled by the prices compared to out here, well maybe after this C-virus calms down that seriously I'll look into your stock...Stay Blessed and healthy out there!
I have a 99 it's the one of the best cruises I've ever been on great bike
Great video I personally have old 15 Honda Valkyrie unbelievable hassle-free low-maintenance Mega how high mileage hard act to follow
Awesome ride. For a second I thought you were surprised about the sound
Yes, he thinks it has Cobra pipes. It doesn't.
Beautiful bike! I must have one of those! Toivottavasti löytyy Suomesta joku hyvä yksilö. Ei huvita lähteä ulkomailta hakemaan :)
Onhan nettimotossa muutama yksilö myytävänä😉
I've wanted one ever since is saw it. I road an 1100 Goldwing and it was incredibly smooth, and it was missing on one cylinder. And I live in AZ, so if you ride at night or early morning in the summer months it's pretty much a year round thing.
I waited 20 years but got a 97 cruiser.
It was everything I expected.
I still ride it and even the Harley guys stop and look.
I'll be somewhere with a bunch of Harleys and every time I'll overhear somebody say," Did you see that Valkyrie out there?" 😃
My 2000 Interstate stock horn puts that one to shame . Definitely something going on with that one . Nice ride !
normally I associate touring and cruisers with that loud crackling exhaust, but like Sean said its like a F1/sports car it gives you a different form of pleasure from hearing it.
AWESOME BIKE!!! friend of mine let me ride his and I had the biggest grin ever!!! rode Harleys for 40 years and this blows em away!!! Just second best to my Moto Guzzi 1400 California touring. LOL
You can't kill that engine! Awesome ride!
Bruce Kuhn it is for that generation bike
I have a 97 tourer I had it painted illusion blue . Smoked many other bikes , especially Harley's. Not a problem.
How would you compare that to the M109R?
That is NOT the tourer. It is the basic Valkyrie with crappy aftermarket bags. The Tourer has great quality hard bags. The Interstate has the hard bags and fairing.
he said that at 48sec
And an 8 gallon tank on the Interstate, with dual headlights.
Could you make a video of your personal collection
Always Wanted one Since they came Out
Would you put it over a Boulevard or a Raider top-of-the-line models of course
I know this is an older video but waaaay back in the day, Honda had a CBX1000 (6 cylinder). This motor must be a decedent of that because that too sounded like a Ferrari. A friend had one and it had a 6 into 1 exhaust...awesome.
The Goldwing actually came out before the CBX, but it was a 4 cylinder back then not a 6 cylinder. Also the CBX had an inline 6 instead of the boxer engines the GLs have.
i like how you revved it up immediately after starting and then immediately shut it off. That's great for the rod bearings, the heads, the piston rings... so you're a Dealer huh?
Looks like someone tried to make a "Tourer" model out of the "Standard" model by adding aftermarket windshield and bags. Would have been much better looking and functional with the Honda OEM windshield. Champion makes a great set of hard bags (Patroit series) for the Valkyrie. Even though I purchased a 2019 Goldwing DTC Tourer one year ago, I still have my 2001 Valkyrie. The Valkyrie has been to all the lower 48 states and Alaska. Over 150K miles and still runs and looks like new and has never left me stranded. Try that with a Harley! Like so many others who have this great machine, I doubt I will ever part with it.
Three cheeseburger is just enough. Great bike.😎🏍🇺🇸
I think the "3 cheeseburger" bag looks like a purse w/o the shoulder strap.
I know you like big bikes, can you do a review on a Boss Hoss?
@daniel bean , I know. But I just wanted to see what it's like to ride one. 😅
Hes already done that
@@ReckOne559 , do you have a link?
@@jackreacher7029 I'm sure I can get it. I found it when I searched boss hoss on CZcams. It's one of the first ones that comes up.
What camera do you use for your footage while riding?
LOVE this!
I am an original owner of a ‘97 Valk with 101,000 miles. I have three other bikes, but love the Valk the most. It has 101 hp, 102 ft/lbs torque and will run 0-60 in 3.6”. I have truck stacks for exhaust pipes, heavy duty Progressive shocks and springs (for handling and ground clearance), a Native American motif paint job, aftermarket horn:) and Mustang seat. It is not nimble, but handles well for a bike it’s size. I have had it on the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway and Blue Ridge Parkway numerous times. Bike is comfortable, reliable, fast, turbine smooth and easy to ride. I have had it on all U.S. borders, hit an antelope doing 75 mph in Wyoming (replaced radiator and headlight), in a heavy rainstorm had to ride through ~two foot deep rushing water (bike sounded like a motorboat) with my unhappy wife on board; in snow, hail and never missed a beat.
Sounds nuts! 🔥
Wow that sound!!!
