Honda Goldwing and
Valkyrie history
The Honda Goldwing GL1000 was introduced at
the Cologne motorcycle show in 1974 and made available to the
public in 1975. The GL1100 followed 4 years later in 1979.
In 1984 the GL1200 arrived on the scene. The GL1500, the
longest running model, could be first purchased in 1988.
The GL1800 became available in 2001. Rumors abound each
year of the new GL2000...We will have to wait and see what Honda
has in store for us next.
The original Honda Valkyrie was manufactured
between 1997 and 2003. The Valkyrie Standard and Tourer
were introduced in the beginning, with the Interstate following
in 1999. The Tourer was dropped in 2000 and the interstate
followed in 2001, leaving only the Standard until 2003.
The Valkyrie Rune took over with a limited edition appearing in
2004.
