My Old '81 Venturer

[tbird71]

Thought you guys would like to see my old 81 Venturer...this is the way I got it.

Someone removed all the Pacifico touring but left the stock seat.

The old "Excess" 1100s...what a ride.

What I like about Yamaha in general is they don't change much from year to year

for the most part. Except for paint, my 2001 is basically the same as a 10. That helps Yamaha with tooling costs, as well as the riders who can get an 8-9 year old bike that is still current. Ride Safe!

I had a '79 XS11. Great bike.

Nice looking bike. Thanks for the pic. Brings back some fun memories. That puppy was a beast back then.

Wow. That is a beauty. I really love the look of older bikes. I really need to get my 81 Midnight Maxim back on the road. So is yours all original (other than what was removed) or has it been restored/repainted?
