Hi Grumpy...

I really like the green and cream ones, but that's about a three or four thousand dollar
premium for the number on the steering head

I thought I read some where that the 1st 50 were black, then they tossed in a bumble bee color for some author who worked for a motor rag.     Then they produced a few gree/cream's like mine and then tossed out a couple more combo's and then went into 1998 production.

I don't remember the vin on mine but it is low...........

Actually, I think I heard that from a party in a white coat at one of the Maryville factory tours for InZane 1, 2, or 3.

Got number 700 built 10/96 you can have for 3k LESS. GREEN/CREAM

That would be the third TOURER produced, NOT the third VAlkyrie.  The std, the tourer, and the IS ALL started each year at #1.  You could purchase the same year, same number, of all three.

Exactly, given that color and mfg date, it would have been the 3rd 49-state Tourer built. The Calif Tourers started production in 10/96. The standards were built first, starting in 4/96 (both 49-state and Calif versions).  From my notes, the bike above used to be owned  (or maybe still is) by Joe Joyak in Georgia. He bought it from a Honda employee.  It didn't get out of the factory until 8/98 and he bought it in 9/99.
