Engineered by Honda for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2017 Honda Gold Wing Valkyrie features a 1832 cc (111.8 cu in) liquid-cooled six cylinder boxer, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 74.0 x 71.0 mm (2.9 x 2.8 inches) with a 9.8:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Gold Wing Valkyrie measures 341 kg (752 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 734 mm (28.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,704 mm (67.1 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 22.71-liter (6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
