Hi all can you help. I went to a Honda dealer at the weekend and in there was a GL1800 F6C ?
Now I don't know about in US but in UK the GWOC wont allow Valkyries in because they aren't Goldwings. Fair enough I get that.
So my question is, Whats the difference between a GL1800 F6C and a Valkyrie F6B and is the 1800 F6C a Goldwing ???

According to the official Honda site, the 1800 F6B and Valkyrie F6B are indeed Goldwings.

Goldwing -> packed with stuff, wrap around dashboard, fairing, unitized bags, trunk, bells, whistles...

F6B -> no trunk, shorter windshield, less bells and whistles...

F6C -> stripped all the way down, no fairing, no dashboard, no bags, no handlebars  Wink, just a motor in a frame.

They're all Goldwings. They stamped "VALKYRIE" on the F6C's side covers.

I turned my F6C into this, and I really like it:

So 1800 Valk's are goldwings but 1500's aren't. Thanks that's cleared things up  Undecided Undecided

1500 Valkyries were mostly all different motorcycles from 1500 wings,
they used the same (hopped up) motor, but not the same frame/wheels/other stuff...

If your goldwing club over there is anything like our goldwing club over here,
that's why you're confused  Wink

Not quite. Goldwing Valkyries, not Valkyrie Goldwings. Now it's cleared up.. Wink
