Those folks in Japan like to have different Valks!   Pretty cool   8)    A LOT of work! :cooldude:   Honda Valkyrie ワルキューレ フォーリングボーンズ

 Sport Valk, I like it!  :cooldude: That's the way she handles, too me anyway. For a huge bike, you don't feel any weight once your moving.  ;D :) :cooldude:
Smooth is where it's at. (o_0)

Nice sporty bike that reminds me a lot of the 1984 honda V65 magna back in my day.   I had the opportunity back in late 80's to own a mint 1985 V65 magna with only 800 miles but the price tag of 3800 bucks was too much for my college days plus I was too short to sit flatfooted on the stock seat.  This stripped down valkyrie is very much a power cruiser but doesn't look like the seat is very comfy for us heavier folks.

Not my style. I like the traditional cruiser look. But if it's a Japanese Valk, it might have a reverse and I'll take that! lol.  ;D

that "hole" in he fuel tank probably would work for the average jap guy, but it looks like it would be a tad too tight for me!!  ;D ;D  (at least it's shaved!!)

    Several novel ideas there. I like the 3 piston front brake calipers, you just can't have too much braking power for me. I was amazed that the Valk sounded completely stock in the video with those SuperTrapps.
I am also amazed by the air filter mod, never seen it done that way on a Valk.

I had a similar thought. 

I was wondering how in the devil you hold the throttle with the right, stand on the boards, and pee with the left only and still hit that little hole?  I'm pretty sure that would mess up your wax job.

And apparently that Valk does not have a choke.

I'm just groovin' to the cool Japanese jazz singer. Makes me wanna smoke a cigarette. :D
I sold my beloved Honda VTX so I could get a TOURING bike to allow my wife to be more comfortable on long trips. Can't afford; nor do I subscribe to the Harley "hype". Wanted to stay with Honda quality. And as I'm still young enough to want a "COOL" looking tourer; the Valk Interstate is for me.

I see the reverse lever down by the left footpeg, sure wish they had put that on the US version!  Hoser
I don't want a pickle, just wanna ride my motor sickle
