The seat looks stock, it would need a aftermarket seat.

As didn’t show the odometer but ad says 1500 miles. New tires, a shield, the fastest color, a person could do worse. I remember those in the crate prices too, but with inflation, it could still be a good deal for a high speed cruiser.

If I were in the market for one, I would definitely be interested.

Curious, for those that have both, have had both, or ridden both.....is there much of a power difference between the 1500 and 1800 Valks?

I'll just say this, I found the 1832 Valkyrie superior to my 1520 Valks in every way (power, braking and handling) with the exception of looks and maybe comfort but that's a personal preference.   If, Mother Honda had built a retro version of the 1832 Valk, I'd already be riding it.

Edited:   Of course, opinions are like _____________, well, you know how that saying goes.  Wink

I doubt I'll ever let my two 98s and the 99 Valks go until my wife gives them away after my demise.   Two are already promised to certain special people, not sure who will get the Trike.  These are things I'm not worried about.  Wink

    Fuel injection versus good ol fashioned carburetor and as I understand it easier rear wheel change on the 1832. I've heard the 1832 returns better M P G. And I'm like others here-luv my Phatt Ghurl! RIDE SAFE.
