Honda Valkyrie: The Six-Cylinder Street King

The Muscle Behind the Wing

The 2014 Honda Valkyrie is a stripped-down, power-hungry beast born from the DNA of the iconic Gold Wing. With its 1,832cc flat-six engine, aggressive cruiser stance, and blacked-out menace, this machine delivers 125 lb-ft of torque and a guttural exhaust note that commands attention. This isn’t a touring bike—it’s a statement on two wheels, built for riders who refuse to blend in.

Key Tech Specs:

✔ Engine: 1,832cc liquid-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder

• 118 hp @ 5,500 rpm | 125 lb-ft torque @ 4,000 rpm
  ✔ Transmission: 5-speed w/ shaft final drive – Smooth, low-maintenance power
  ✔ Frame: Aluminum twin-spar – 750 lbs (340 kg) wet
  ✔ Suspension: 45mm telescopic fork (front) / Pro Arm® single shock (rear)
  ✔ Brakes: Dual 310mm discs (front) / Single 315mm disc (rear) – Linked ABS
  ✔ Signature Features:

• Blacked-out engine and exhaust – No chrome, all attitude

• 2-into-1 exhaust system – Deep, authoritative growl

• Low 28.7-inch seat height – Confidence-inspiring control

• Analog-digital gauge cluster – Retro-modern fusion
  ✔ Fuel Capacity: 5.3 gallons (20L) – 200+ mile range

Why the 2014 Valkyrie Stands Out:

🔥 Unmatched Powerplant: The only production six-cylinder cruiser on the market
🔥 Sleek and muscular: Slimmer and more aggressive than the Gold Wing
🔥 Instant Recognition: That wide six-cylinder profile stops traffic
🔥 Modern Reliability: Fuel-injected performance with classic cruiser soul

"The Gold Wing’s Rebellious Younger Brother."

(Note: 2014 was the debut year of this Valkyrie iteration – making it a fresh take on Honda’s cult-classic cruiser.)
