    1996 I worked at scona Honda in Edmonton and I pulled the very first 1997 Valkyrie out of the box !

      You sir are a Hero. I have a black 97 standard, purchased it from a guy that owned a Porsche dealership in Houston. It is the reason I started riding. Bought a Suzuki 800 as a trainer and then after I got comfortable purchased the Valk(Raven). I love my bike.

      No doubt about it that Honda is second to none for adapting automobile engineering into their motorcycle products. That being said, the Valkyrie is a bike thru & thru!

    Buddy of mine bought one of these and let me take it for a ride. Smooooth ride/acceleration. Freight train amount of torque. Pretty agile at speed, just an awesome rider.

    I have a 1998 but mine is the red and cream. It has had all the same Chrome added too. The Faux open intake tubes get a lot of comments! Mine has custom 6 into 2 exhaust that has clip in inserts (not baffles) that make it a lot louder and increase power with them in the pipes. They are amazing bikes. I have had a lot of bikes and my wife loves riding on the back of the Valkyrie best.

      It's seems that BMW would agree as their new heritage flagship R-18 mimics more of the Honda Valkyrie then any H-D type .
