I just purchased a 1989 Venture with 20,000 miles on it...What a great bike!!! The Yamaha dealer in my neck of the woods is the only place that would work on it primarily because they have been arond for years and everybody is older...good luck on finding a realatively new shop to work on it. The only parts he said that were not avail or might be hard to get were body parts. Yamaha is still pretty good on parts for the bike.
