Hey Rookie,

Everyone knows the black ones are the fastest!

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

What a question!


Red and white, without a doubt.......

1998 Valk Standard 52,500 miles

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)
take personal responsibility and keep your word



98 Tourer, black and chrome, added 8/11/10
98 Std, yellow/cream, totaled 8/3/10

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.   :angel:

But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

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

Flat ground no one around.

Of course, that was a plain black, right, Al?

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

Mike in AR

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.


Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

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.  :coolsmiley:


2005 BMW R1200 GS
2000 Valkyrie Interstate
1998 Valkyrie Tourer
1981 GL1100I GoldWing
1972 CB500K1

BradValk48237

Actually the fastest is whatever color is.................

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!  :police:
Everything is - Nothing is .


When you come to a fork in the road - TAKE IT!
(send it to OSS)

I'm putting in a call to the League Office!   🎳

Have you noticed that you rarely see a Blue and White? 

That's because they move too fast for the human eye to behold.   :2funny:

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?

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???
What a great day, lets ride!

There is no debating the absolute truth.  I've been told that red "skunk" stripe is actually the blood of those vanquished by the dragon.  :D  Although she rarely sees speed well beyond the posted speed limit, my black with red stripe skunk begs to be unleashed.   :coolsmiley:

Am I the only one to have the privilege of riding the highly sought, very rare, very fast orange/black?  Wow, I knew Pumpkin was special.
How much fun can I have before I have to go to hell?

Black (just like the SR-71 Blackbird).   8)
I've never seen the black w/red stripe. Stunning color combo!   :o 
How many red stripe units were made?
Some curbside appeal right there.

Another absolute truth.   :cooldude:  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.   :evil:

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

'

my 98 standerd is 5% slow on the odometer (100 miles showing, i actualy traveled 105), my spedometer is 8% fast (108 mph showing, is actualy 100mph)

The fastest Valks are the bikes with the lightest riders.
