Honda's new GoldWing-inspired hotrod receives anti-locking brakes as an option dedicated to riders who value more peace of mind. Even though the Valkyrie is way lighter than the GoldWing, some extra safety when braking in times of dire need is a good thing. The braking system was upgraded over what the GoldWind offered, with bigger rotors and it now allows riders to stop in a shorter distance with less chances of the wheels skidding.
Tons of optional parts and accessories are available to enhance both the functional and the aesthetic side of the bike.
