tbrdb0b Posted December 6, 2006 #1 Posted December 6, 2006 Has any body ever used nitros on a venture, was considering it just to be differant, how do you think the engine would hold up under minimum amount,, i Know it sounds nuts but why not.
Snarley Bill Posted December 6, 2006 #3 Posted December 6, 2006 engine should handle it just fine.probably can get a v-max set up .i'm sure there are lots of them available and they could help set it up for the venture.sure would be a sleeper.
rod Posted December 9, 2006 #4 Posted December 9, 2006 I saw a few here but do not know the owners. I see no reason why not. There are 2 RSV I have seen with turbos and they had some problems with getting them set up, don't know if they ever got them right. Rod
fixit3546 Posted December 10, 2006 #5 Posted December 10, 2006 I've never used the stuff; but i've made billions of pounds of it. Literaly.
craigatcsi Posted June 29, 2009 #6 Posted June 29, 2009 While crusing today, I had the same thought... Where would one go to look for info how to add it to a bike? craigr
Yammer Dan Posted June 29, 2009 #7 Posted June 29, 2009 Not Needed when these things are running right!!

Brake Pad Posted June 29, 2009 #9 Posted June 29, 2009 lets face it people, If you bought a Venture, with the thought of a touring ride, and even question Nitros. your on the wrong bike
RandyR Posted June 29, 2009 #10 Posted June 29, 2009 Want to ride 200 mph??? then you need a Suzuki Huyabusa, Kawasaki Ninja, or BMW k1200. The BMW can be had with a nice sport touring configuration. These machines are designed to go that fast.

Even thought about buying one of those imitation ones that I've seen on Lawn Mowers, etc... I would never put Nitros on any of my vehicles, I believe it is too much stress on a very expensive vehicle. I was just curious. craigr

Who cares if one big, slow touring bike can outrun another big, slow touring bike? If you want to go fast buy a fast bike.

I hate to burst your bubble but I have outrun a busa on a 1300 and regularly show the local crotch rocket riders that a 1200 83 model will eat a crotch rocket for breakfast and spit it out. The top speed is not the question overall it is the riders balls to take a 26 year old 863 pound bike up to 148 mph and stay there when going around the blue lights. Yes I was thinking about adding notros to one of my 83s just for fun. Jeff

Yammer Dan Posted June 29, 2009 #16 Posted June 29, 2009 You ever rode a 83? A 83 running as it should will change your outlook. Just remember you are dealing with 800+ lbs. A little experience helps!!
Naked Rider Posted June 29, 2009 #18 Posted June 29, 2009 I had a 83 got it up to 112mph that was as fast as i wanted to go but she still had more left in her and as somebody allready said need bigger balls than me. I sure do miss her though.
GeorgeS Posted June 29, 2009 #19 Posted June 29, 2009 Not up to the task ! Now, a Honda ST-1300, I believe they are about 130 HP stock, and the bike is made to handle it. Owneing a Venture, and a Busa, believe me folks, there is a big difference in the frame's and suspension, steering, brakes, etc etc. Don't do it !!!
GeorgeS Posted June 29, 2009 #20 Posted June 29, 2009 Art708 said: Right. Just wondering, do you know how fast a Busa can go? ( assumeing its runnig right ) Lets see? 800 lb and 97 HP, against 500lb. and 174 HP, I think maby the guy you were raceing, was a little off his game the day you raced him. Also: I do have one of each in my garage, there is NO comparison. Unless you have a turbo on your Venture.

painterman67 Posted June 29, 2009 #22 Posted June 29, 2009 Have either of you guys rode with Muffinman. I have and I was in a cage at the time. I know for a fact he has the balls. If you dont believe him just take that BUsa of yours and find out for yourself. Now that being said I have been on a busa recently and I have to say I dont have the balls to run either one to their limits. David

I merely said that these bikes aren't that fast. A 'busa can eat a Venture without even breathing hard. There's always someone with bigger balls but bike for bike there's no comparison.
painterman67 Posted June 29, 2009 #24 Posted June 29, 2009 not arguing that point.I've rode both. All I am sayoing is muffinman is a little nuts on these things. David
