1999 Honda GL1500C Valkyrie review from United States of America
"If you have never owned one, you are missing out"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing. Not one thing. Got some dead bugs on it though.
General comments?
No bike fits everyone the same, but for me this bike is just about perfect.
You can cruise and shift at low RPM's with no fear of stalling or lagging. You can shift at red line and suddenly you're on a sport bike.
The looks are awesome. Keep the chrome clean and it's blinding.
I have owned many bikes and borrowed many more from friends. Nothing compares to a Valkyrie. Makes Harleys seem punky.
