That's sad. Those are really cool old bikes. I bought one a few years ago just out of nostalgia. Rode it a bit around here but ended up selling it. Thought when I bought out that my son would take an interest but he never really got into it. I understand that it's a tough decision for you.

You are correct that there haver been a handful of issues regarding the top end. Yamaha claimed that it was only a few and it was caused by a mistake at the factory of a proper break in lube not applied. I'm not sure about that but something along those lines. I actually bought a new Star Venture in '18 and actually loved it. I never had an issue of any type but I only kept it for about a year and didn't put that many miles on it. I can tell uyou that it handled great and was a pleasure to ride. I'll admit that it ran hotter than my previous water cooled bikes but I didn't find it to be offensive. The fact is, I was in the process of starting a new business and a lot of other things and just didn't have time to ride so ended up selling it after a year and only about 1400 miles on it. I ended up buying a used bike after that due to the fact that I just still can't seem to find the time to ride like I once did. If I had time though, I would likely own another one.

I don’t think anybody makes one. Sorry.

I seldom use Windows. I moved to Mac several years ago and couldn't be happier. That being said, I do have a Microsoft Surface that I have to use for some special software that I use to measure curved stairlifts. It's running Windows 10 and I haven't even looked to see if the update is available.
