wylbur78 Posted April 6, 2018 Share #2 Posted April 6, 2018 There's a Demo Ride here in Houston Texas today and tomorrow at the Mancuso Southwest location. April 6 and 7, 2018. I went and road the new Venture and man was it a comfortable ride. I did get some wind buffeting but not bad. When the motor gets warmed up you can definitely feel the heat coming from the back cylinder and heating up the back of your legs. I had the lower fairing wind-lets open so air could come through and it did provide some good airflow, but not enough to keep your legs cool during the summer months. It was 75 degrees here when i test road and overcast. I really want to love this bike, but the heat is the biggest detriment for this bike. I'm not ready to purchase yet so time will tell for sure. Will have to do some more test rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafterd Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted April 6, 2018 I rode it back in September. That day it was 101 degrees and I really didn’t have a problem with extra heat. Rode it about 30 miles in DFW traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
