Segment: Touring
Production years: 1999, 2000
The 1999 GL1500C Valkyrie is a mean cruiser with a superb road attitude, created for those in search of a muscular 6-cylinder boxer machine with seemingly infinite passing power and style to match it.
1999 brings a new seat which is now lower and more comfy, boosting low-speed maneuvers and offering a solid foothold when stopped, even for smaller riders and less powerful ones, such as ladies. The model year also brings Black/Red and Black/Yellow two-tone paint schemes.
