Black ones are the 2nd fastest. Second only to the world renowned Blue/Creme.  |

Skinhead is abso-positivelutley correct.
I have only had two, a very, very fast yellow/cream and now an even faster black/chrome.
I would not have believed it, but I have seen the light-and it is black! (must be the chrome)

Everyone knows the Red & Whites are the fastest. They scared everyone with their awesome speed and power so they stopped making 'em after the first year.  |

128 is all I could get out of a completely stock tourer with only 3000 miles on the clock.

We let the riders of the plain blacks brag about how fast they are because we feel sorry for them.  |

Slider, you are absolutely right, the Yellow and Blacks, or Black and Yellows if that is what you prefer, are without a doubt the fastest. BTW, I live in Redfield AR.

After reading so many of these topics about which color Valkyrie is fastest, I have finally figured it out: Whatever color you are riding is the fastest.  |

OSS Colored is the fastest. Everyone thinks OSS rides slow, at the back of the pack, but really, he is sooo fast, he is about to LAP the pack!

Have you noticed that you rarely see a Blue and White? That's because they move too fast for the human eye to behold. |

FYI, the fastest Valks were produced in late Dec of 2001 and sold as 2002 models. Honda made a limited run of experimental bikes. They started with the fast but plain looking black bikes and added a gorgeous bright red racing stripe. These special limited production Valks proved to be very fast, but do to the additional costs and liability concerns Honda produced very few. How many have you seen?  Redline  |

My 98 Blue/Creme goes 187 mph in the 1/8 mile....and gets 92 mpg!!! (Am I awake yet? ) That's pretty fair mileage. If I keep mine under 3000 rpm, even two-up, I usually do a bit better. Best ever was 116mpg down hill in the mountains of southwest FL. I do believe you though! |

I'm riding my second Yellow & Cream 99. The first one I bought new and this one I bought 3 years ago next month. I'm never the last guy there and I don't get passed unless its a spot bike. People are always amazed by the speed, power & size.
Unfortunately I must have mine waited down with chrome because I have never been able to get either one past the 120 mark ?? But I have been told my speedometer is wrong by more than one person. I'm exactly 3000rpm @ 70 mph.
Any ideas???

Although she rarely sees speed well beyond the posted speed limit, my black with red stripe skunk begs to be unleashed. blackrams |

Black (just like the SR-71 Blackbird). I've never seen the black w/red stripe. Stunning color combo!  How many red stripe units were made? Some curbside appeal right there. |

I often ride my "skunk" to work and it never fails get attention. My boss has even allowed and then asked me to park it out front because so many folks come in an want to know about the bike and who rides it.  More than once I've been asked if it was for sale. There are benefits to having a blood stripe. blackrams |

Ya all speedos are off from true and differ from each other a little. THe valk is not really going 70@3000rpms.. So you are really going less than 120 @ 120 indicated |
