Correct pronunciation?

[Chiefy]

What's the consensus?  Valk-el-ree (sounds like walk-el-ree) or Val-kree (Val, like short for Valerie)

Seems like Honda used to say Valk-el-ree in the original commercials, the new one I hear Val-kree.  Almost everyone around here says Val-kree. 

Not that it matters.

[grandpaweaver]

Both,
Valk-el-ree most often

I think it's up to da speaker.. 

They can pronounce it, anyway they like,,, kinda like I mispronounce my last name by choice.. 

[Jess Tolbirt]

I say Valk-ree
the commercial says Volk-ree
but most say Valk

I was at a Honda dealer last year and I asked the parts counter guy for an oil filter for a 97 VALK-EAR-E. He condescendingly says to me; "it's pronounced VOL-CURR-E". I told him that if I wanted elocution lessons from a minimum wage drone I'll let him know, until then just get me the filter.

Pronounce it however you like. You can make arguments for a number of them. I'm not a viking so I don't get all norse with it but to each their own.

I prefer simplicity myself. I pronounce it "Phat Gurl." 

[Gryphon Rider]

I usually pronounce it val-kuh-ree, but sometimes vawl-kuh-ree.

I call mine the stud or MGM

[Momz]

The guys behind the parts counter at my local dealership keep correcting me.
They say "Kawsasaki VULCAN", Hondas never made VULCANS.

The HD riders call then "VOL-KIE-REES", or "DEM SIX CLYINDER VICTORIES".

Ya can't fix STOOPID!!
