skidrow Posted November 7, 2008 Share #1 Posted November 7, 2008 Why are 86-93 VENTURES considered 1st generation Ventures ? Shouldn’t they be considered 2nd gen’s and the 99 and newer models be called 3rd gen’s? After all the 83-85 bike had smaller saddlebags and only 1200cc motors VS. 1300 cc’s and larger bags on 86-93. And as I understand it there are more items that are different than just motor and bags on the 83-85 and the 86-93 models. So why do we do this?

mbrood Posted November 7, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 7, 2008 I think there's WAY too many parts that are shared to separate them. I understand you can even change some frame members and mount the fixed bags on the early ones and toss in the 1300 engine if you want. So they've rather coined the term MKI and MKII About the only thing you can exchange with a 2nd gen is the light bulbs and driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it is because many 2nd genners can not count past 2, so we are keeping it easy. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snarley Bill Posted November 7, 2008 Share #7 Posted November 7, 2008 oh you guys got it all wrong, it goes like this 1rst gen, second gen, goldwing (modernized first gen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrood Posted November 7, 2008 Share #8 Posted November 7, 2008 After thinking about it, maybe you can't exchange the driver between the bikes... the 1st gen owners would be disappointed and the 2nd gen folks would be embarrassed. That just leave the light bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
