Demo results of new venture.

[Statussymbol]

First im 6 3. 300lbs. First glance it is not any bigger than my 08 RsV. Sitting on it it is considerably lower, by like 6 in. Wife sits higher than on RSV but foot boards are lower. Driver definitely needs driving pegs. I was more cramped in new vs old. Driving....HOLY TORQUE!!! defiantly want to control the wrist. Turning defiantly take a little getting used to because of frame mounted fairing. 75 mph in 6th gear 2500 rpm. 60 in 6th 2000 rpm. Overall I like it but it defiantly needs foot pegs and a driver's back rest to control upper body for that torque.

Statussymbol,

 

Wait wait wait!! You are the first of our clan to test ride this machine. Giving us 3 1/2 lines of tidbits is not acceptable. LOL. You gotta bring it Bro. We need elaboration! Serious elaboration. LOL.

That's like waving the ice cream bowl in front of your face and not letting you eat any!

Ok ok. I had a 06 roadliner, traded that in for my 08 venture. Driving the new venture as far as TORQUE and acceleration were same as roadliner. Lots lots more bells and whistles. You can fit 2 full size helmets in trunk upright... Did it. Had no key... key fob unlock everything. No remote start....lol, i asked. Did get to play with nav or radio. Too many people in line to ride. No accessories out for it from anyone. So hoping for pegs or backrest are a ways out. Loved the power windshield up all the way it pockets me, wife did not complain of buffering but we were got cruising at 75 for long, just a short stint. She likes the ride if the old venture. Me i liked it but not for 26k. Oh oh. it does have engine guards about the same size as 2nd gen. But like I said it needs pegs. Im a 34 in inseam and I felt cramped, and seat could have been a little wider, and it was hard i thought, but maybe just not broken in. My bike only had 350 miles on it. All in all, if say it's a fully dressed strat with a frame mounted fairing and duel exhaust with lots of storage.
