The LED headlight, taillight and turn signals give the Valkyrie a modern, super-clean look and provide fantastic illumination as well. Style and function—that’s what the Valkyrie is all about.

LEDs are great and they keep coming out on more and more vehicles and bikes. If they don't, then people install them. It is the way of the future.

That is a great pic of the Valkyrie, and it shows off the LED light nicely as well.

Anyone planning on any changes to the headlight? new shape? different bulb?

 

[HondaPWR]

projectors with adaptive headlights would be sweet on a high end honda like this, just saying

 

[faky]

I think its very nice of Honda to give us full LED lighting. nice premium touch

are the heaadlight main lights LED as well ? really ?

What are "adaptive headlights?" Haven't heard of these before, though I can take a guess at what they do.

Would anybody consider actually changing the light bulb out to something different? A traditional round headlight maybe?

They are headlights that turn in the direction you turn into, so you can see through the turn

its interesting how they completely skipped xenon and went straight for LED

 

[HondaPWR]

Why not? Is LED is what's new and maybe better, wouldn't it make sense to use it?

 

[faky]

i know. but i wouldnt have been disapointed with xenon either.

 

[HondaPWR]

Ah well at least we ended up getting something amazing thats been proven to be good

Are adaptive headlights only a thing for motorcycles or are cars doing this as well? Can you give an example of a different bike that does have adaptive headlights?

it does sound like a pretty cool feature to have on the bike, but I'm sure they left it out to make sure the cost didn't creep up too much.

 

[HondaPWR]

they are much needed in bikes are they are in cars

 

[faky]

its alot more complicated to implement in a motorcycle

the units are heavy and big

 

[HondaPWR]

It is, but I think with a bike like this with the size it has, makes this idea more doable. They just need to work on it.

 

[faky]

i guess

it snot impossible


it just seems like alot of extra cost.

Hey, the headlamp is SUPER bright at night. Hi-Beam is like a flood light!

 

[HondaPWR]

It's something I need to see in person one day when i get the chance!

 

[faky]

Hey, the headlamp is SUPER bright at night. Hi-Beam is like a flood light!

that is good to hear

i hate inadequate lighting

 

[Bebo]

How much would you be willing to spend extra on this adaptive headlight system? A few hundred? More than a thousand?

 

[faky]

i dont think i'd want to pay for adaptive
