Red Rider Posted October 17, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 17, 2013 Heard a rumor that in 2015 there will be an all new venture. Any ones else hear this? Got this from a yamaha rep at a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eck Posted October 17, 2013 Share #2 Posted October 17, 2013 Don't hold your breath on ol-Yamy..... They wont come out with another one until the use up 95% of the cassette players they paid some other company to make for them by the thousands..so they could get a good price on them, including all those "dependable" fuel pumps they had made. You don't think THEY are going to be stuck with them all now do you...? I don't ever expect Yamy to ever come out with another touring bike such as the venture. They really missed the mark to keep up with the leading edge on large touring bikes. They had a chance though at one time. Eck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eck I think they know that so they will chase other items. Out board motors musical interments cars snow machines wheelers lawn mowers (I have one) generators. they have a plate full.

mini-muffin Posted October 17, 2013 Share #5 Posted October 17, 2013 Yamaha's got the 1300 deluxe tour model now with audio, ipod/iphone connection and zumo gps. So I'm thinking they aren't in any hurry to reintroduce something like the venture. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who Dey Posted October 17, 2013 Share #6 Posted October 17, 2013 I am doubtful that it will happen but I hope like hell it does! That would just be awesome if they brought out a new touring bike......please keep the pillow top seats though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M61A1MECH Posted October 17, 2013 Share #7 Posted October 17, 2013 I rode the 1300 V-Sta Deluxe touring model today as well as the 1900 Stratoliner Deluxe. I still prefer the Venture over either one, but actually prefer the 1300 V-Star ove the 1900 Stratoliner. Not as much power as the as the 1900 Strat, but just semed to fit me better, both are a litle buzzy, but what can you expect from 2 V-Twin. Also rode the Victory Cross Country Tourer, nicer than I expected, still like the Yamaha products better. Keeping the Venture for the time being Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvester Posted October 18, 2013 Share #10 Posted October 18, 2013 Too many fine machines for touring out there for Yamaha to be debuting a new tour bike. Victory has two, Indian Chieftain will have a tour trunk soon that is detachable (like Victory), Goldwings, HD, BMW, Kawasaki, and more. I don't ever expect a Venture again like we know.

RSTDdog Posted October 22, 2013 Share #16 Posted October 22, 2013 They won't announce a new model until the majority of existing Venture stock is depleted which i consider a nice courtesy to their dealer network. They will be discounting leftover 2013's as it is now and probably still some 2012's around. Announcing a new model would all but kill sales of leftover units.

IronMike Posted October 22, 2013 Share #17 Posted October 22, 2013 Yea that is a fine looking bike and I agree, I have an 08 and its just incredible right out of the box. I have done some Modifications but still. I can hardly ask for more. Especially for the price I paid. It had 9K miles on it, Got it up to 16.5 in little over a month and a half. Love it! And besides, you know how first runs are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
