One of the greatest motorcycles ever made that almost no one wanted. Or maybe it was just poor timing?

Bought my Red and White Valk in October 1996, owned it for 17 years. Best power cruiser ever made in my opinion.

My Tourer is 000007.  Green and cream. Less than 10000 miles. Bought it this summer from a fellow in California.  He put lots of accessories on it, just never rode it.  He also had the original purchase agreement as well as the hondaline instructions for the accessories that he installed.
