Thanks to all that replied. You have given me some food for thought. I will deffinitly get on one to at least check out the riding position before making a decision. I know they feel different on the dealer floor for 5 minutes than on a day long ride but will give some idea to leg/arm position relitive to my Wings. Thanks again and will keep checking back for any other input so if you forgot something let 'er rip or send a personal message or e mail. Rich

Hi all I just joined the Venture Riders for the main reason of investigating the second generation Venture. Having owned an 83 and 87 first generation and putting 100,000 miles on each I can say I did like them alot. Most resent ride was an 01 Goldwing 1800 (totaled this past summer)a and a 1500 wing I put 200,000 miles on bought new in 96 which now belongs to my son in law but Istill ride when I feel the need. Idecided to look into the possible purchase of a USED second generation Venture but would like to hear from present owners any concerns or issues I should be aware of in my search. I ride two up about 30% of the time so any co rider commkents welcome also. I thank you in advance and hope to gain some insight into what apears to be a pretty darn good ride. Thanks TJ and to all that might reply I just thought I'd add that I'm 6'3" with 34" inseam. How will I fit these bikes. First generation were very comfortable for me but knee bend was only slightly tight. Rich
