Engineered by Honda for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2004 Honda Valkyrie pairs a 1250 cc (76.3 cu in) liquid-cooled six cylinder boxer, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 71.0 x 64.0 mm (2.8 x 2.5 inches) with a 9.8:1 compression ratio.
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 1,689 mm (66.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 20.06-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
