LilBeaver Posted September 14, 2011 Share #28 Posted September 14, 2011 12:02 and you still cant access the new models. You may need to hold "control" and push "F5" at the same time to force your browser to clear the cache. They are up there. Looks like the 2012 is a midnight, with no flames. Oh and it comes with an iPod. Yuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naturbar Posted September 14, 2011 Share #32 Posted September 14, 2011 There is only one 1200 hours that is midday, midnight is 0000 if not mistaken, in actuality there is never 0000 - it either 23:59:59 or 00.00.01 - that way the lawyers can definitively say it is on a 'particular' day - whereas 00:00:00 would open a world of unnecessary litigation. this is only a guess??

Jactana Posted September 14, 2011 Share #34 Posted September 14, 2011 What a huge waste of time, absolutely nothing new. I'm glad I'm not a Yamaha dealer out there trying to compete with the other manufacturers. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eusa1 Posted September 14, 2011 Share #35 Posted September 14, 2011 yippee!! my venture will hold it's value another year!!! and it's still a better color than the 2012 model!! as long as they don't change anything, then i have no reason to want a new one..

exrsa1 Posted September 14, 2011 Share #36 Posted September 14, 2011 Only thing new is Stratoliner and a Raider. Price of Venture is up $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted September 14, 2011 Share #37 Posted September 14, 2011 It's a joke, and Yamaha still does not listen to anyone. The strat's reviews last year were a lack of cruise control that every bagger now has available, yet not the strat. The Venture, another rehash with new paint. No offense meant to you that love the Venture, but IMHO, what should be the least expensive touring bike is was over priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV1100SE Posted September 14, 2011 Share #38 Posted September 14, 2011 New for 2012, ipod. Thats it, just an ipod! iPod isn't included in Canada. We get the 'S' model in metallic black. We can get the cd-changer for $865. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV1100SE Posted September 14, 2011 Share #39 Posted September 14, 2011 The Venture lives on one more year! Word in a previous thread said that the revamped Venture would be announce in 2012 for 2013 release. Until then... status quo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV1100SE Posted September 14, 2011 Share #40 Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) WOW !!!! In the picture for the 2012 they FINALLY show the cb antenna on the correct side ! See.... there is a change in the new bike ! Other interesting thing.... 2012 is rated at 39mpg, 2011 at 42mpg (U.S.). Canadian site shows 51mpg Imperial (18kpl) for both years. Canadian site says pricing will be announced in Dec 2011. 2011 model price is - Canada - $23,899 msrp; US - $20,090 2012 model price is - Canada - $ ? ; US - 20190. Hmmmm.... isn't the U.S./CDN $ roughly at par? We pay $3,809 more.... THAT doesn't make sense ! Edited September 14, 2011 by XV1100SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted September 14, 2011 Share #41 Posted September 14, 2011 Well.... the new color for 2012 will be 'intense black'.... The Midnight Venture has been discontinued.. What's amazing to me is my '99 is 13 years old and outside of the color is the same damn bike.... Can't say that about any 1stGen.. Another thing I noticed... unless I missed it... Y didn't mention anything about coming with a tape deck in the specs. Maybe they are too imbarrased, OR they finally ran out of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby G Posted September 14, 2011 Share #47 Posted September 14, 2011 Word in a previous thread said that the revamped Venture would be announce in 2012 for 2013 release. Until then... status quo. I posted this, and yes, this is what I was told by a senior member of Yamaha's U.S. management team several months ago. A late 2012 intro of a revamped 2013 model RSV. Allegedly a complete overhaul, including the engine (Vmax?). I guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well gee that's a deal breaker! and I was gonna trade my 2004 for an updated new and improved 2012. Oh well, guess I'll drive my outdated Venture for another year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
