I am test riding a Honda Valkyrie GL1500 (F6C). An awesome 6 cylinder motorcycle! I list the specs of this bike and express my own thoughts about it. What do you think of this motorcycle? Have you owned one? Leave a comment please 🙂

My opinión? The best ever, powerfull, it's big and heavy but hanles like a much lighter bike due to low center of gravity, the engine (flat oposite 6) is the best balanced with virtually no vibration and the longest lasting engine i ever seen in a bike with the proper maintenance and high quality oils, and refrigerant, a good retired friend has one with over 370,000 miles (traveling in usa) with the original engine and still running strong. Simply amazing!

Thank you for your detailed comment. I agree! Honda sure knows how to make reliable bikes. I kinda fell in love with it so I might get on in the future... who knows =) Thanks for watching Luis

Nice beast, I wouldn't mind riding one ... Also yeah, that's 6 cylinder boxer rather than a V6. Nice video mate !

Yeah I didn’t think of that when I made the title of the video. I’m going to be corrected a lot.... 😆 Thanks for watching, I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed my video.

All boxer engins are flat, but not all flat engins are boxer. Hondas flat 6 is not a boxer. But they are awesome.

I have a Valkyrie just like this one, 1997 Black and Silver with the Cobra exhaust just like this one. The sound they make when you wind it up a bit is just awesome and there is nothing that comes close to it for looks and ride quality. I've had ten other bikes over the years including a Kawasaki Z1300 - 6 which is a fitting companion to the Valkyrie but the Valkyrie is a step up from the Z13 and I wouldn't trade it for anything. They really do grow on you and I love my Dragon.

I had a M-109, Honda Magna 700, Suzuki Intruder 1500.. nothing compares to my '99 Valk I've had since 2012. The M-109 just felt faster because it's crazy toquey with tons of muscle in a V-twin configuration. The Valk has fantastic linear feel that you have to get the RPM's up to really feel the power. In '99 it was maybe a little head of his time but among today's big cruisers it may not be the fastest but from top to bottom it's hard to beat.

@Darkvisor Год назад

I agree with you. The valk is such a great bike. I want one still today. It will be my next purchase for sure. Thanks for watching

@motorpontus2097 2 года назад

Reminds me a little of the older generation Rocket III. But the valkyrie has a more mean and powerful sound. Nice ride DV!

Farsan har en F6C! Grym cruiser. Ljudet är ju så gott ur boxer 6an. Min m1800r jag hade gick för visso bättre, men ljudet och känslan av f6c motorn är outstanding. 6-6 avgassystemet låter ljuvligt :)

I`m on my second, over a twenty year period. Generally every blogger bangs on about the noise of a flat 6 boxer "unleashed" imho that aftermarket zorst is a complete waste of money and de values the bike. In reality Irritating to live with and makes one look a complete tool massaging yourself about the noise it makes. The F6C has many original attributes that are worth expanding upon but it has its flaws, the suspension and effect that has on pillion comfort is never talked about. As a solo cruiser its smoothness and acceleration are notable, the high ground clearance aids handling and corners can be fun even on a big heavy bike. Not everyone`s cup of tea but a fantastic build from Honda.
