F 6 C Valkyrie

2001 Honda F 6 C Valkyrie Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Honda's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2001 Honda F 6 C Valkyrie pairs a 1520 cc (92.8 cu in) liquid-cooled six cylinder boxer, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 98 HP (71.5 kW) at 6,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 130 Nm (95.9 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 64.5 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (6,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the F 6 C Valkyrie measures 335 kg (739 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.29 HP/kg (3.42 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 740 mm (29.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,690 mm (66.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 7.1 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 282 km (175 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 205 km/h (127 mph).
