2000 Honda Valkyrie F6C Lockdown Bobber #7- SN538

🔥 The Lockdown Bobber #7 – A Custom Honda Valkyrie Like No Other 🔥

Born from Muscle. Built with Soul. Reimagined in Lockdown.

🏍️ What Is a Honda Valkyrie?

The Honda Valkyrie — also known as the GL1500C — first roared onto the scene in 1996, redefining what a power cruiser could be. Unlike anything else on the market at the time, Honda engineered the Valkyrie with an enormous 1,520cc flat-six engine, borrowed from the legendary Gold Wing tourer, but stripped down and tuned for raw, muscular performance.

This wasn’t just a cruiser — it was a mechanical beast with car-like torque, bulletproof engineering, and unmatched smoothness. With a horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine delivering instant, linear power and a sound that turns heads before you even appear, the Valkyrie didn’t follow trends — it created its own genre.

Designed at Honda’s American R&D center and built in the USA at the Marysville, Ohio plant, the Valkyrie was inspired by the rebellious spirit of American custom culture, yet executed with Honda’s world-class engineering. No other manufacturer dared to put a Gold Wing engine into a naked street machine — but Honda did.

Today, it is rightly considered a modern classic, celebrated for its unique combination of retro appeal, engineering excellence, and enduring performance.

🛠️ Our Tribute: The Lockdown Bobber #7

During the COVID-19 lockdown, creativity flourished in our garage. With time, passion, and tools in hand, we gave birth to a series of custom builds — this is number 7, and it may be the most visually and mechanically refined one yet.

Starting with a 2000 model Honda Valkyrie with just 30,689 miles, we embarked on a full custom journey, turning this already iconic machine into a bobber that oozes presence, history, and exclusivity.

🔧 Custom Build Highlights – A Labour of Passion

We stripped it down to the soul and rebuilt it with meticulous care and flair. This isn’t a parts-bin build — it’s a thoughtful reimagining, designed to be mechanically perfect and visually unforgettable:

✨ Cosmetic and Structural Enhancements:

• Candy Red paintwork with crushed biscuit pearl contrast

• Holographic diffraction laser-cut pinstriping

• Diamond-stitched biscuit leather sprung solo seat on a custom-fabricated tray

• Powder-coated rims, crash bar, choke rails, and more

• Custom front and rear fenders with vintage-inspired details

🛠️ Mechanical Overhaul:

This bike doesn’t just look custom — it rides like a dream. Smooth, powerful, and unshakeably planted, with a sound that could headline a concert.

🌍 Global Buzz & Cult Status

The Valkyrie Bobbers we’ve built have become something of a cult phenomenon, with appearances in forums, Facebook groups, and even printed magazines. One of our builds proudly went to Spain — and all others have been snapped up by serious collectors and riders alike.

No mass production. No templates. Each one is different. This is your chance to own a piece of motorcycle art born from isolation and shaped by obsession.
