WNYPCRepair 1,923 #31 Posted November 15, 2015 Nice ride. I didn't realize there was a 6 cylinder bike. Probably a little smoother than my V twin, back in the 70's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semper5 43 #33 Posted November 15, 2015 Looks like 1997-2000 Honda Valkyrie 2001. Yes, you are correct. Nice ride. I didn't realize there was a 6 cylinder bike. Probably a little smoother than my V twin, back in the 70's. Extremely smooth, runs like a clock. Separate carb for each cylinder. Thank you sir. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I have no doubt, wasn't even trying to dis the Bike, it is a great piece of Iron. Honda always has been a leader in M/Cs.
