2015 Rocket 3 Touring
I was always intrigued by these but never had a chance to own one, bought my Rocket instead. I saw this one at Crashed Toys in Dallas, TX this past Monday.

Also saw one of my favorite, all original, cars there as well. '48 Plymouth Special Deluxe. I believe the Honda and car where there on consignment. Most everything else they have is purchased from Insurance companies and auctioned off.

You would love the original Aussie GM Holdens then which were based on similar '40s US GM models.

Holden 48-215 - Wikipedia
Its American origins are quite apparent, as it closely resembles Chevrolets of the period that did make it to production, particularly the Fleetline Aerosedanand the second generation Deluxe.

2005 Holden Efijy concept car
The Holden Efijy concept car, which debuted in 2005 at the Australian International Motor Show, paid tribute to the design of the original 1953 Holden FJ.
This prototype was built at Holden to celebrate the 50 year anniversary of the FJ Holden, it would of cost a lot of money, except it was a labour of love handcrafted by Holden designers after-hours over several years. It is built on a Chevrolet Corvette floor pan, a 6.0 litre V8 engine with Roots supercharger putting out 644 hp. It rides on an air suspension system that lowers the car when the car is stopped, and also has electronic instrumentation including a multi-use display screen that disappears into the dash.

Do I see that right? $2750 for the Valk? That’s an absolute steal.
Crashed toys in Dallas is the name of the place selling it so guaranteed it has some pretty good damage to be sold at that price, the Valk is a great bike have been tempted a few times over the years but never bought one.
 
+1 on the Valk, had same color, 97 model for a few years back in late 90's. Owned a few gold wings as well. My wife's favorite bike, she still talks about how comfortable and smooth it was. It's a solid machine with good power. Great price on this one.

I traded in a Honda Shadow 1100 back in 97 for a Goldwing SE. Still looking back one of the worst mistakes i made in my life. Right up there with the three Ex wife's. Great bike to go grocery shopping but not much fun to ride. Very boring. Used the CB one time and one time only. Found the radio very distracting. The communication plug ins between passenger and rider with helmet connections went south after first ride with wife at that time. Just not my cup of tea. I do like the looks of the FB-6 and the Valk especially in my rear view mirrors. They look very sharp trying there best to catch up. :roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:
