Says ALL of them will go 137 MPH! They really are marvelous machines. One thing I don't know though. A Valkyrie Interstate could torque wheelie in first gear. Don't know if the GL1800 can pull that off!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #664525 Capt.Kirk (User) "Beam me up Scotty and keep it on two wheels" Platinum Boarder Posts: 1147 Re:Look whats been in my Garage for 2 weeks 4 Years, 7 Months ago   Doc_V; I believe in case of a front end collision, the air bag deploys from up around the trees and windshield and keeps the rider from going over the windscreen. jd750ace; from my understanding, the Valkyrie had a more powerful cam than the Goldwings.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #664531 jd750ace (User) Front toward enemy Platinum Boarder Posts: 18763 Re:Look whats been in my Garage for 2 weeks 4 Years, 7 Months ago   Yes, and the Interstate had more dwell in the cam than the standard Valkyrie. The valkie also had a 26MM carb for every cylinder, VS the twin 36MM downdraft Plenum of the GL1500. The Valkyrie was right around 100 HP and 100 ft-lb of torque at the brochure, as they say. I believe it. As for the air bag, works like this:   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #664533 Orthogonal (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1624 Re:Look whats been in my Garage for 2 weeks 4 Years, 7 Months ago   kind of an obscene looking air bag. I liked the valkyrie when they came out... I think they are no longer made, correct? Are the valkyries water-cooled? I'm assuming so.jd750ace wrote: Yes, and the Interstate had more dwell in the cam than the standard Valkyrie.

They are extremely nimble for their size and handle exceptionally due in large part to the radial tires. A real beast. They have proven to be just as durable as the GL1500 with the exception of the hot-rodders tearing the rear drive splines out at the motor output flange! I know 2 that have done this and they have more than one "stupid gene" at work, if you know what I mean. GL1500 parts don't work either, from what I'm told.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
