As I'm sure many of you know, these motors are basically a beefed up version of the 1500cc Gold Wing powerplant that is famous for going 150-200k miles and still be running strong. And with only 23173 original miles at the time of this posting, this beautiful 2000 Honda Valkyrie Tourer will provide years and years of riding pleasure to its new owner. 

And this particular 2000 Honda Valkyrie Tourer was given way better maintenance than most. The 2 timing belts and the front fork seals were replaced about 6 months ago. 

The timing belt replacement is amazingly important yet most people don't even know this. If you lose a timing belt while the engine is running, it is virtually guaranteed that you will ruin the motor. These timing belts are presumed to be good for 100,000 miles but that doesn't take the element of time. The rubber can dry out after so many years. So this is something you won't  have to worry about again for years to come with this bike. 

And this is an intelligent suggestion for preventative maintenance for anyone who owns an older bike with timing belt(s).

Check out the stylish and expensive Gold Plating on the swing arm cover, the engine intake manifolds and the valve cover screws. Also on the tank emblem as well. It doesn't show that great in these photos but it's a dramatic effect and looks great. 

Also there is a red engine LED display for nighttime effects if you want to amaze people. Again, it doesn't show up well in these daytime photos, but it's a great effect.

It also has a nice manual cruise control to take some pressure off your wrist on those longer rides.

The bike has never been dropped or down.
