This is a couple years old.  Haven't seen anyone post about it here, though.  Just stumbled across it.  Like the references to "old school".

He refers to it as an '04. I'd like to see the ID plate.

I noticed that. I also thought I saw the "MADE IN USA" cast into the engine. That'd make it a 99 at the latest.
I ride a motorcycle because nothing transports me as quickly from where I am to who I am.

my memory may be wrong but I think my 03 said "made in the USA" on the back of the passenger seat.

The saddle on the bike is pre-2000.  The stitching on the back of the pillion was after market.  "Made in USA" disappeared from the back of the pillion in 1999 or 2000.

Made in USA was on thru the first half of the 99 production run.
As was the logo on the co seat.

Agreed but, to be honest, all I have to do is walk out into my garage to get a warm and fuzzy feeling.   Firing either one up and riding is even better but, I have to say that pulling into any dealership and watching the folks gather around her is the best.  ;)  She's Special.

Edited:  I am curious what that itty bitty windscreen is all about?
I personally don't see it has any value.

Every trip is an adventure, enjoy it while it lasts.

Very entertaining review....

...I'd LOVE to ride a Valk around ZA! Some GORGEOUS scenery there...

(BTW, 89,000 Rand = $6100 in USD)

Another old review that I find quite entertaining is this one:

Never ask a geek 'Why?',just nod your head and slowly back away...
