safetyguy Posted May 31, 2008 Share #1 Posted May 31, 2008 Someone asked me just how good a VR is and how long will it last? So how many miles do you have on yours? Has anyone broken 100,000 on the odometer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturous Randy Posted May 31, 2008 Share #2 Posted May 31, 2008 Mine has 114,000 miles and I consider that low mileage for a 1st gen. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddy Posted May 31, 2008 Share #8 Posted May 31, 2008 The motors in these Ventures are by far the most famous motors around. The V4 motor made the famous and deadly V-Max!!!!.Has the best warranty in the motorcycle world 5yrs unlimited mileage warranty. The Motor is not consider broken in untill it reaches 100,000 miles, also been known to reach 260,000 miles!!!!. the more you push the motor in the red zone the stronger they get!!!!. known world wide as the bullet proof motor. Nick name for the Venture is THE BEAST or the Terminator. Reason being is in 1983 Yamaha made the first and the deadliest Venture to date the 83's have no rev limit allowing the motor to smoke the touring world in its day. Its a danger zone for other motorcycles once the V4 motor opens up and hits the red when it does there's no stopping it.!!!!! 1983 Venture 88,688 miles Buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
