Honda Valkyrie 1800
The Honda Valkyrie 1800 has a top speed of 185 km/h (estimated; Honda did not publish an official figure), produces 118 hp and weighs 380 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
Honda Valkyrie Rune (NRX1800) được giới thiệu vào năm 2004 như một chiếc tàu tuần dương tùy chỉnh sản xuất hạn chế được chế tạo xung quanh nền tảng GL1800 Gold Wing, thể hiện tham vọng thiết kế và kỹ thuật của Honda với phong cách tương lai nổi bật của nó. Nó chỉ được sản xuất trong các năm mô hình 2004 và 2005, khiến nó trở thành một bộ sưu tập hiếm có, với khoảng 3.000 chiếc được bán ở Mỹ. Đáng chú ý với thân xe bằng nhôm đánh bóng bằng tay và hệ thống phanh liên kết độc đáo, nó được coi là một tác phẩm nghệ thuật lăn hơn là một tàu tuần dương truyền thống.

Những điều người mua nên biết
Rock-Solid Engine Reliability
The 1800cc flat-six engine is derived from the Gold Wing platform, known for exceptional longevity often exceeding 100,000 miles with proper maintenance. Honda's build quality means major mechanical failures are rare when routine service is followed.
Watch the Fuel Injectors
Sitting bikes are the Valkyrie's biggest enemy — ethanol-blend fuel can clog injectors and corrode fuel system components if left unused for extended periods. Always ask sellers about storage history and whether a fuel stabilizer was used.
Strong Resale Value
The Valkyrie 1800 holds its value exceptionally well due to limited production numbers and a dedicated collector following. Low-mileage examples in good condition routinely command prices close to their original MSRP even years later.

Đánh giá người mua đã qua sử dụng
"The most characterful cruiser Honda ever built, full stop."
$6,500-$11,000 usedThe Valkyrie 1800 is essentially a Gold Wing with its clothes off, and that's meant as the highest compliment. Honda took their bulletproof flat-six and stuffed it into a cruiser chassis, and the result is something genuinely special. That engine pulls like a freight train from idle and never feels strained, even two-up with luggage. Used examples hold up remarkably well — these bikes were bought by serious riders who maintained them properly. That said, go in with eyes open. The thing is massive and heavy, and low-speed maneuvering will humble you until muscle memory kicks in. Parts aren't always dealer-shelf items, so budget for wait times. Check the carburetors carefully on older examples — they gunk up if the bike sat unused, which happens more than you'd think with luxury cruisers. Also verify the final drive oil has been changed regularly.
