Mitch did you just wheel that out the showroom my god it looks so good mate for a 98 model well done   

[Mitch]

Hi Turtle, I bought it in April 2010 with just under 10,000 klm on the clock, Done almost 50,000 klm including last years Snowy ride. 
  This is one of the smoothest,most comfortable best handling cruisers you can buy. The Engine is a 1500 goldwing motor hotted up by the factory
  with higher lift cams, solid lifters and 6 carbies, I've had it Dynoed and it puts out 87hp at the wheel.   
  All the chrome makes it eazy to keep clean.

What a beauty! That's showroom quality

Why sell is my question?  I was at the last Snowy Ride and don't remember seeing a Valk.  87HP rear wheel is just a touch below the dyno run on my ST1100, but they are an impressive bike.

 Hi saaz
     Since buying the ST in December I havn't been riding the valk much and I need the room in the garage for the Bandicoot. 
   I was there in 2011, stayed at the NAVY lodge in Thredbo, spent a fair bit of time up at the bakery.

Hmm, may have seen you then :)

The original Rocket

They are a great machine. I can't understand why Honda stopped making them. They should have brought out a new Valkyrie instead of the "Fury".... just imagine a 2012 Valkyrie with fuel injected 1800 motor..    .... woohoo what a beast that would've been.

[Mitch]

Hi Bikebear
    Honda did make a Valkyrie with the 1800 motor, it was called the Honda Rune. 
                                 

[Bikebear]

Yeah... the Rune was a styling exercise that wasn't really ever going to become a serious touring bike, whereas a proper Valkyrie cruiser with all the mod cons and farkles would have been an awesome bike, especially in the Interstate version.

[Nick]

Mitch, What a beautiful example of my favourite of all cruisers. I too wish honda would release an injected version of this bike with a few extra bells and whistles. If I had the cash and more importantly a signed permission note I would have snapped this up. I'm sure it will make that lucky  someone very happy if not already.
