Honda GL1500C
From CycleChaos
The Honda Valkyrie (designated GL1500C) was introduced in 1997 in an attempt to be the ultimate cruiser. While other motorcycles boasted two or four cylinders, the Valkyrie engine was a special tuned horizontally opposed six cylinder displacing 1520cc and had 6 carburetors. The engine is similar to Honda's Gold Wing (GL1500).
The Interstate version of the Valkyrie was introduced in 2001 featuring rear saddlebags and trunk box. As a touring bike, the Interstate increased its fuel capacity by six liters.
The 1500cc Valkyrie was replaced in 2004 by the Valkyrie Rune (NRX 1800).
