Honda Gold Wing F 6 C
2016
2016
The 2016 Honda Gold Wing F6C, also known as the Valkyrie, represents a bold departure from the traditional Gold Wing touring platform. This model year continues the lineage of powerful, six-cylinder cruisers, offering a muscular aesthetic and a focus on performance. It carves out a niche similar to the BMW K1600 B, targeting riders who appreciate a potent engine in a stripped-down, more aggressive package compared to the full-dress Gold Wing.
Powering the 2016 Valkyrie is a substantial 1832.0 ccm (111.79 cubic inches) six-cylinder boxer engine. This four-stroke powerplant generates a peak output of 114.0 HP (83.2 kW) at 5500 RPM, providing ample power for effortless cruising and confident acceleration. The engine's torque peaks at a substantial 167.0 Nm (17.0 kgf-m or 123.2 ft.lbs) at 4000 RPM, ensuring strong pulling power across a wide range of engine speeds. With a fuel capacity of 23.20 litres (6.13 US gallons), the Valkyrie offers a reasonable range for longer rides.
The riding experience on the 2016 Gold Wing F6C is characterized by its comfortable, yet commanding, riding position. The seat height sits at 734 mm (28.9 inches), offering a manageable reach to the ground for many riders. The motorcycle's relatively low center of gravity contributes to stable handling, both at low speeds and on the open road. While not a dedicated touring machine, it offers enough comfort for day trips and weekend getaways.
The Honda Gold Wing F6C is designed for riders who appreciate a powerful cruiser with a distinctive style. It appeals to those who want the legendary Gold Wing engine in a more visually aggressive and less touring-focused package. It's a solid choice for riders who prioritize engine performance and muscular styling over long-distance touring amenities, offering a unique blend of power and presence on the road.
