OverviewEdit
Honda GLX 1800 Gold Wing F6C Valkyrie

The new F6C Valkyrie's twin-spar frame is constructed from lightweight multi-box aluminum sections and, helped by the bikes low centre of gravity (the engine is a stressed member), its been optimized for all-around handling prowess. The F6Cs 45mm telescopic fork, adjustable monoshock, single-sided swingarm, 19-inch (front) and 17-inch (rear) alloy wheels, standard ABS, shaft drive, 5-speed gearbox, twin 310mm brake discs at the front with 4-piston callipers, full LED lights, LCD instrumentation and 341 kilo kerb weight translate into a package that not only looks good, but also offers reasonably good riding dynamics.
