Any Valkyrie Owners in the House??
Just wondering if any Valkyrie owners frequented this site. Got my eyes on an Interstate but doubt the wife will rubber stamp that.

Re: Any Valkyrie Owners in the House??
Don't own one, but have been seriously considering getting one... I am just friggin tired of so much plastic. A friend of mine has a signature on the side of his 1500 that read "body by tupperware". I feel the same way. The Valkyrie has all the benefits of a 1500 wing without all the plastic.

The only glitch I heard of with them was a petcock problem, that coupled with no center stand caused a hydrolock. Otherwise everyone I know that has em loves em. They're around for reasonably short money. I've seen 9yr. old low miles for 6k and that was at a dealer!

You would think Honda would have that petcock problem figured out by now. I recall the 79 CBX had that and Honda replaced a lot of busted engines under warranty. In 1980 the petcock was vacuum operated.
If I could find a low miles Valkyrie Interstate for 6K I would be on it without even blinking.
