1986 - 1993
The earlier model 1200cc
Venture was very well received, but still struggling in the marketplace
against the Goldwing. For 1986, Yamaha made some changes. Capacity was
increased to 1300cc for more power, luggage capacity was increased by
50%, it was fitted with electronically controlled anti-dive forks, and
passenger accommodations were enhanced. Despite all the engine
improvements and extra power, the new Royale could still pull 45mpg.
Changes were kept to a minimum from 1986 until the end of the production
run in 1993.
Here are the
specifications that I have gathered on the '86-'93 at this time.
Thanks to Russell Hicks for his help in compiling this information.

1994-1998
There was no Yamaha
Venture produced between the years 1994 and 1998 though I have seen some
Ventures sold as 1994 models in Europe. These were basically left
over 1993 models. The great V4 engine though continued to be used
in a souped up version in the Yamaha VMax and a much detuned version in
the Yamaha Royal Star. Why was the Venture discontinued?
It's anybodies guess but it is generally accepted that Yamaha simply
lost most of the market to the ever evolving Honda Goldwing. Many
riders feel that Yamaha's lack of advertising their great tourer had as
much as anything else to do with that.

Yamaha Royal Star
Combining the big V-four pulled from
their venerable Venture Royale tourer with a hint of
"nostalgic" styling, the Royal Star line has held its own in
the struggle for cruiser supremacy. For 1997 Yamaha added the new Royal
Star Tour Deluxe to their line and threatens to send contenders
scattering with the Royal Star's strong 1-2-3 combination. The Royal Star Boulevard came with medium height windshield and running lights. The Tour Classic I came with 4x4 exhaust, long windshield, passenger floorboards, sissy bar and short Yamaha hard leather bags. The Tour Classic II came with 4x2 exhaust, tall windshield, passenger floorboards, sissy bar and large slant soft leather bags. Both Tour Classics had the running lights. The Tour Deluxe came with 4x2 exhaust, tall windshield, passenger floorboards, running lights, sissy bar and removable hard plastic saddle bags that had front and back latches.

Royal Star Tour Deluxe
2005 - Present
With the new Royal Star Tour Deluxe,
Yamaha has got the best of both worlds with this new model, the cruising
world and the touring world. All combined in one machine; they call it a
“Cruiser Touring,” possibly one of the fastest growing segments in
the market today. And believe me, with its quick release touring
windshield and passenger backrest that doesn’t require any of tools
(with the help of hidden latches), you can literally, in a matter of
seconds, remove it or install it, and go from cruising to tour mode --
just like that! Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the new bagger you can
undress.
