Honda Valkyrie description

This is a No Reserve auction.


Up for bids is a 1999 Honda Valkyrie Tourer. I purchased this bike from BMW/Triumph/Ducati in Daytona Beach a few months ago. I based my purchase decision on assurances about the bikes condition provided by their sales manager, Wilbur Craig. I was told the bike was traded for a new BMW and had passed inspection by their service department. Mr. Craig said there were no mechanical or cosmetic issues with the bike and he wouldn't hesitate to purchase the bike himself.  Unfortunately Mr. Craig lied about the overall condition of the bike. After considering my options, I have purchased a new bike from a local dealer I know and trust. This bike now needs a new home quickly and I have priced it accordingly.

Added Equipment: Kuryakyn rider and passenger pegs and highway pegs, handlebar risers, OEM luggage rack, and like new Mustang seat and passenger backrest.

Mechanical condition: Bike has 48,337 miles. The bike starts easily and runs smoothly. There appear to be no issues with the engine, transmission, or final drive. Exhaust is Honda OEM and appears to have never been modified.

Tires/brakes: The rear tire is in very good shape with plenty of wear left. The front is very worn and needs to be replaced. In the past the front wheel appears to have been installed incorrectly and the wheel is shifted to the left side of the bike. This should be easily corrected when the tire is replaced. The front brakes are noisy and pads should be checked.

Cosmetics: The bike needs a LOT of cosmetic TLC. The paint is overall in decent shape but there is some clouding and water spotting of the clearcoat in areas. There are some shallow scratches on the right saddlebag and some deep scratches on the left saddlebag (see pics). The radiator screen and horn are rusty. There are also rust spots on the headlamp housing and rear shock covers.  There is some wear and/or corrosion on the mirror stems, footpegs, and other exposed metal surfaces.

In summary, the bike appears to be mechanically sound but needs a new front tire and the front wheel reinstalled correctly. It also needs a lot of cosmetic attention and replacement of worn or rusty parts. It could be a good starting point for a mild restoration or a capable, inexpensive daily rider for someone who doesn't sweat the cosmetic stuff.

Bike is sold as is, where is. Buyer is responsible for any pick-up or shipping arrangements. A $500 deposit is due immediately after the end of the auction and should be paid via PayPal. Balance due is to be paid IN CASH within one week after the end of the auction.

Report: Honda to Increase NC700 Engine Displacement

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

British site Visordown reports Honda will release an updated version of its NC700 series with a larger engine for 2014. The larger versions will reportedly carry an extra 50cc, pushing its displacement to 720cc from the current 670cc used on the NC700X, NC700S and Integra scooter. But why would Honda introduce a larger engine so soon after introducing its NC line in the 2012 model year?
