Honda Valkyrie gets anniversary treatment
Honda plans to release some of its newest Goldwing models as part of the 40th anniversary rangeA new, special-edition Honda Valkyrie is set to hit Aussie shores late March with new features and a special 40th Anniversary touch.
With its smooth torque and abundant power, the 2015 Valkyrie aims to raise the bar even higher with a manufacturer's list price of $20,199.
The new model retains the fuel-injected, horizontally-opposed six-cylinder 1832cc engine. Both exceptionally smooth and powerful, the 'flat-six' design offers a lower centre of gravity for an improved ride and a lighter handling feel.
Underneath is a twin-spar aluminium frame which holds the engine as a stressed member, improving its rigidity, while the design's low weight and optimised weight distribution make it a joy to ride.
The Valkyrie also uses Honda's Dual Combined ABS system, delivering balanced braking between a pair of 310mm discs and four-piston callipers at the front, and a ventilated 316mm disc and three-piston calliper at the rear.
Honda says the 2015 Valkyrie's performance potential is fully matched in the styling department, with a chiselled and aggressive look.
Available in Graphite Black and Candy Prominence Red, the cruiser will also come with a special 40th Anniversary key.
