Godlover Posted March 2, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 2, 2010 I know it has a salvage title but this might make a nice ride for someone: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-YAMAHA-ROYAL-STAR-VENTURE_W0QQitemZ150419307446QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_motorcycles?hash=item2305b07bb6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted March 2, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 2, 2010 Where am I missing the salvage title? I know that is says it has been wrecked but didn't see any mention of a salvage title. I'm not crazy about the color but if it does indeed have a good title, that would probably be a good deal for somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlover Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted March 2, 2010 You are right - it must have a clear title. I wasn't impressed with the color but at the price a person could squint when the ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hig4s Posted March 2, 2010 Share #4 Posted March 2, 2010 Maybe I'm paranoid, but the add says the bike is in Cumberland MD,, but that doesn't look like a Maryland bike plate to me.. Don't Maryland bike plates have 6 characters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamecock Posted March 2, 2010 Share #5 Posted March 2, 2010 Maybe I'm paranoid, but the add says the bike is in Cumberland MD,, but that doesn't look like a Maryland bike plate to me.. Don't Maryland bike plates have 6 characters? Yep, that's a Pennsylvania plate. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlover Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share #6 Posted March 2, 2010 Did a search on phone number and it is a Maryland number. At least he gives his number and has a good rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBeaver Posted March 2, 2010 Share #7 Posted March 2, 2010 The pictures are also from 24/May/2009 and not to mention extremely washed out. A very very thorough first hand inspection would be a must for me before I would even consider this bike... But maybe I'm a little paranoid sometimes.

atlm Posted March 2, 2010 Share #8 Posted March 2, 2010 Wow, that's a great deal. If I didn't already have an RSV, I'd probably buy it and take it (with the seller) to a race shop to have the frame, forks, and swingarm checked. A little paint, and you've got an RSV for about $4k.

Don't Maryland bike plates have 6 characters? Yep, that's a Pennsylvania plate. Ben Cumberland, MD is on the state line of PA. So maybe its less taxes to register a bike in PA then MD. Just a thought! If the bike is in decent shape its would be a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlover Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share #10 Posted March 2, 2010 If this bike was within 100 miles of me - I'd at least check it out - and if it ran well and hte paint job wasn't shabby, as ugly as it is, I'd buy it - put it in front of my house with a forsale sign - and make a few bucks to put into my RSV! Two years ago I bought a 86 Goldwing for $400 - hardwired the stator - parked it in front with a forsale sign - and sold it for $3,000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kregerdoodle Posted March 2, 2010 Share #11 Posted March 2, 2010 hhhmmmmmm looks like a "Regurgitated Pepto" Pink paint job..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted March 2, 2010 Share #12 Posted March 2, 2010 Maybe it's just me, or an optical illusion, but that pic straight on from the back looks to me like the tire isn't lined up with the bags and frame??? Plus the lugage rack is missing. Rear ended??? http://i.ebayimg.com/02/!BnT(ZywBWk~$(KGrHqUH-EEEts(TTvHWBLi-,Pdmgg~~_3.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlm Posted March 2, 2010 Share #13 Posted March 2, 2010 The picture wasn't taken centered from the back. Look at the middle of the passenger seat pad, and where it lines up with the dash. The camera was a bit off to the right. Luggage racks are safety chrome that some folks don't buy. Still looks great to me for the price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davepa Posted March 2, 2010 Share #14 Posted March 2, 2010 If someone is truly interested in the bike I can look at it as I work in Cumberland, MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davepa Posted March 2, 2010 Share #15 Posted March 2, 2010 Just spoke to the owner and he lives in PA. The Maryland Ebay address is his sisters account. The bike has a clear title and was laid over on the right side. The right saddlebag support is bent. Trunk, windshield,saddlebag and fairing have been replaced. He is selling because he has purchased a Tour Deluxe. He stated his color choice was poor. The bike is located in Hyndman,PA Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can agree camera is just to the right but when i draw a visual line fron center of tail light pass the Trunk Button to center of Seat... I see the trunk button about 1 inch left and not inline or is this an illusion? Also if laid down on right side then that could have move the trunk left about an inch. Last Fall laid mine down leftside and trunk was moved right about an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
