The 2015 Honda GLX1800 Gold Wing, or F6C Valkyrie in other markets, was a powerful touring motorcycle known for its comfort, reliability, and performance. The bike delivered smooth and precise power with a 1,832cc liquid-cooled opposed six-cylinder engine.
The Valkyrie provided a smooth and effortless ride with its five-speed manual transmission and shaft drive. It featured a stylish, streamlined design with a low seat height and wide handlebars for a comfortable and upright riding position.
It also packed a range of features that enhanced its comfort and convenience, such as a stereo audio system, heated grips, a large, adjustable windscreen for greater comfort, leather saddlebags, and wind deflectors.
The bike's twin-spar frame was constructed from lightweight multi-box aluminum parts, contributing to its low center of gravity. The engine was used as a stressed chassis member and optimized for all-around handling prowess.
The ten-spoke cast aluminum wheels were fitted with two 310 mm discs and hydraulic calipers on the front, while the rear packed a 316 mm disc engaged by a hydraulic caliper for strong stopping power.
The bike's suspension was handled by a 45 mm telescopic fork with an anti-dive system on the front end. At the same time, it packed a single-sided swingarm that added to its unique style and an electronically controlled Pro-Link shock absorber on the rear.
The 2015 Honda GLX1800 Gold Wing delivered an output power of 118 hp at 5,500 rpm and 167 Nm (121 lb-ft) of torque with a peak at 4,000 rpm.
