ok, hey there people.
ill introduce myself, i may be the youngest one here at only 25. I just got an 84 venture Royal. I had to sell my last bike a few years ago, right after collage because times got tuff. It was a 1996 ZX6E, Ninja. loved that bike. Now that i have a stable job, and bought a house with a garage, i decided.... its time again.
My uncle got this bike in a deal/trade. i made fun of him for almost a week for him getting the thing. I mean its HUGE and HEAVY. but look who's laughing now. I now own it. and to be honest its really growing on me! It was a good deal to me, i have around $800 cash in it. All the plastics are in good shape, have all the bags and it runs good. Still needs some work tho such as tires, head bearings (maybe?) and air ride needs to be worked on. Leaks like a siv. after reading on this forum a little, it settled some of my woes, such as it does crank slow, the air ride issues, and a few other items that are discussed in the tech section.
Me and my girlfriend both fit on it! has plenty of power. now i just really want to make it a reliable bike. im getting use to the weight of this thing, and again, its really growing on me!
Let me see if i can get some pics to show up.
