Christian's Yamaha Xmax 300
"Valkyrie" aka "Val"
Christian’s scooter, Valkyrie, is built for endurance—just like the legendary warriors who rode into battle with strength and determination. I’ll be riding a Yamaha XMAX 300, the largest engine allowed in the Scooter Cannonball. While the handicap numbers aren’t in my favor, the journey itself is what matters.
Winning on a scooter of this size is rare due to engine specs and age, but for this 3,800-mile endurance ride, I’m choosing comfort over competition. Valkyrie is sleek, powerful, and ready to take on the open road, built to tackle the toughest challenges of the rally.
More than just a machine, Valkyrie rides with a purpose—raising awareness and funds for pulmonary fibrosis through The Valhalla Fund. Every mile counts, and this ride is about more than just reaching the finish line—it’s about making a difference.
