I traded my 2008 RSV in toward a 2023 Indian Challenger. I loved my Venture and wish Yamaha had properly updated it to keep me on board.

I have a 2008 RSV with pretty low mileage, so it should run for my lifetime. However, I have been considering replacing it because of its age and a concern I may not be able to keep it running dependably. I have been looking at the Indian Challenger/Pursuit bikes. I can't really afford it, but could maybe get one paid off by the time I retire. I hope not to age out of riding for some time, but I'm aging out of performing a lot of maintenance on them.

I'd like to see what you do for a keyless gas cap. I find the current setup inconvenient.

You should share some pictures of your Honda project with us. I have a '81 CB750C that I'm trying to get to run. Many of us like all bikes.

I go on one long trip each year where my RSV serves me perfectly, but the rest of my riding is all small trips and local. If I could afford a second bike I would like something smaller and easier to throw around as I'm getting older.

I just had a meeting with the group (all cousins) that I go on a trip with each year. This year we're going to NW Arkansas to ride in the Ozarks. Second week of September.

I agree that a hybrid would work well for a touring bike, but the difficulty of building the drivetrain into a bike frame would be a challenge. Great gas mileage and excellent torque is appealing. I would also like to see smaller all electric bikes becoming affordable and designed for comfort (all of them now put you in racer position). I would love to commute to work on one.

I think just water cooling the v-twin would've made a huge improvement, but yes I think the V4 would have saved it.

I always wanted one of those also.

My wife has been talking about a condo for a few years to ease with maintenance, but I need parking and garage, not ready to give up bikes.

I made a donation, but do not want the membership discount. I hope they recover ok.
