1998 Honda GL1500C Valkyrie review from United States of America
"Buy one!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The carbs have to be synced, and there are six, so it is a little tricky.
General comments?
Big and comfortable.
Good power, but not great.
Handles well for this type of bike.
Very reliable, and though it is eight years old, it still looks new.
