2001 Honda GL1500C Valkyrie review from United States of America
"Best cruising bike I can imagine, and the look is way cool"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nada.
General comments?
Heavy at slow speeds, but very flick-able at normal speeds, goes where you point it; handles bumps like a car.
The tank is fat, and you get a bit of hip cramping after a few hours.
People stop me and compliment me on the looks of all the chrome. I tell them it is straight out of the box, no enhancements, and they don't believe me.
Beetle Bags complete the look, and make it more functional.
