1997 Honda Valkyrie F6B with Champion Escort Sidecar for sale.

Like to see a picture of this rig.

I have a few pictures, not very good but I'll post them. The owner's son is coming up this weekend and he's going to move the bike outside to take better pics.

The sidecarhasan electric/hydraulic seat, seat belt, a USB power plug and a vent for fresh air

I hope your friend is recovering well! 🙏 That’s a nice rig, someone will be happy to get to enjoy it. 

Thanks. He suffered 11 broken ribs, broken collar bone, 2 punctured lungs and other injuries. He was riding his Yamaha Tenera with sidecar and a car ran right over him. Then 2 other cars piled into the back of the crash. So, he's asked me to liquidate all his bike collection.

Jimbosidecar, you  must be  talking about  Frank, a well known  Sidecarist,  that several  of us shared meals with  at the  USCA national Sidecar  Rally in  Iowa last year, and he rode his Tenere' rig over to Western  Washington and had lunch with  me. 

Frank is really a  "good guy"....and we all hope for his full recovery .

I have not had the opportunity to meet Frank, but, yes, we all hope for his full recovery.

Yes, one and the same. He's home now recouperating. He spent 18 days in ICU.

@Jimbosidecar,  is Frank's  1997 Valkyrie w/Champion  Escort still available.....still for sale  ?

I have a guy interested,  so please  PM me, and we can discuss  contact info. 

PM sent. Yes still for sale. I went out there today and took the bike for a spin in the neighborhood. It is truly impressive. Last time I rode it was 5-6 years ago and since then Frank had gone through the entire bike and made a lot of upgrades. I'll try and upload pictures taken today.

The sidecar seat is powred to raise up or lower it. Just one more feature

@Jimbosidecar, thank you for the extra pictures, and info. I am passing all this along to Mark Nelson, who...if he is paying attention on these forums, will see all this.

Saw this sidecar @ Frank’s a couple of weeks ago… almost gave me the desire to drop my GW/FS3 project and buy it! It so well made! Only the idea of the 6 carbs and the quality of gas available in the Maricopa County stopped me! Pic of Dane with who I was there…

Well, I did visit Frank over the weekend. Turns out the crash was much worse than I could even imagine. Anyway he's up and around but hasn't gained full use of his left arm. I did get to take more pictures of the Valkyrie and take it for a ride. I think it's the best riding smoothest cruiser I've even ridden. I'll be posting more pictures shortly.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about the quality of gas with this bike. They were kind of popular in China back in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Even worked on a couple in my shop. Never heard a complaint about the gas even with local and way out of town gas which I am sure is way more questionable than any gas in this country.
