MiCarl Posted February 25, 2016 Share #2 Posted February 25, 2016 You can call stuff anything. Our common way is 83-93 1st gen., 99+ 2nd gen. While there were some incremental changes along the way the 83-93 are pretty much the same motorcycle. We call them as follows: 83-85 - 1st gen MKI 16-93 - 1st gen MKII 99 + 2nd gen 3rd gen is a mythical beast that lives with Sasquatch and unicorns.

camos Posted February 26, 2016 Share #4 Posted February 26, 2016 3rd gen is a mythical beast that lives with Sasquatch and unicorns.That's the one we are all wishing will come out any year now. We have all helped Yamaha with the needed design features but it appears they won't manufacture the 3rd Gen until they can figure out how to make it play music now there is no longer any support for cassettes.

MiCarl Posted February 26, 2016 Share #6 Posted February 26, 2016 I must have a 1.5 Gen then. Sorry. If you haven't got a cassette deck it isn't a Venture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karaboo Posted February 27, 2016 Share #8 Posted February 27, 2016 I saw the 3rd gen last week. They beamed it up before I could get a picture, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syscrusher Posted February 29, 2016 Share #10 Posted February 29, 2016 Exactly as software releases are numbered (Major).(minor), I have a Gen 1 Mk2, or Gen 1.2. A major difference was indicated with Gen 2 when the Venture went from a sport tourer to a cruiser. The differences between 83-85 and 86-93 were much smaller and so it was a minor update to Gen 1.2.
