Valkyrie Returns to American Honda's Lineup - Motorcycle & Powersports News

American Honda will reintroduce the Valkyrie cruiser for Honda’s 2014 lineup.

"The Valkyrie is back, but this isn’t a motorcycle that celebrates the past. This is a cruiser unlike any other for people who want to seize the future, who appreciate distinctive style, who want the kind of performance no cruiser can match. The Valkyrie redefines the term ‘muscle cruiser,’" said powersports press manager Bill Savino.

"The Valkyrie is an enthusiast-based motorcycle targeted at serious riders looking for a special ride that sets them apart from the crowd and also delivers performance that’s clearly a cut above the rest. True to its iconic name, the Valkyrie targets the hearts and souls of enthusiasts in a way that only Honda can."

The Valkyrie features the same Honda 1832cc liquid-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine that also powers the Gold Wing and Gold Wing F6B. The cruiser’s curb weight is 750 pounds and it features an LED headlight, taillight and turn signals; multi-function digital LCD instrumentation; and an anti-lock braking system (ABS). It will be available in April 2014.
