Honda's Valkyrie/F6C burst onto the motorcycle scene in the
mid-1990s, completely changing the way Cruisers looked and
performed. Honda's history with horizontally opposed engines in
motorcycles dates back to the mid-1970s and the Valkyrie's fully
chromed flat-six-cylinder engine continued this trend with a
'Hot-Rod' version. Its 'Classic American' styling and aggressive
sounding clean-flow through exhaust system made the Valkyrie/F6C an
instant hit with both motorcycle press and public. Offering three
different models of the original GL1500 Valkyrie, Honda dominated
the Cruiser market, winning numerous awards along the way. In this
book, Peter Rakestrow looks at the development and detailed history
of the GL1500 Valkyrie/F6C from 1991, including the NRX1800
Valkyrie Rune of 2004, a concept motorcycle that became reality, to
the 2014 GL1800 Gold Wing Valkyrie/F6C. Covering detailed changes
of year by model, including specification sheets, this is the first
book to cover the full story of a motorcycle that has become a
legend in its own lifetime.
