Thanks Tom, I don't think there is a better color than black on most bike and car/trucks other than what we said. Great to be here and I look forward to meeting everyone.

Tom nice bike but I do not like Black! I had a 01 HD RoadKing in black and it looked nice the second after it was washed but after that it showed everything. That is just my 2 cents plus I don't have that kind of money!!

Thanks V7Goose for all the great info here are some more pictures of the bike I will for sure follow your instruction during my test drive and look it over well! http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s37/VictoriaVett/100_1684.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s37/VictoriaVett/100_1685.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s37/VictoriaVett/100_1686.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s37/VictoriaVett/100_1690.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s37/VictoriaVett/100_1691.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s37/VictoriaVett/100_1692.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s37/VictoriaVett/100_1695.jpg

I talked him down to this price thats why the windshield and pipes are not coming with it. He has lost his job and thats why he is selling it is like his baby! I've been working on him for weeks now. Told him I did not want to ride it until he would agree on a price I did not want to fall in love and be willing to give more! LOL By the way I' 50 and 6ft 185ibs so I don't thing I have any problems ENJOYING THIS!!!

I will ride it before I hand over the money for sure but my plans are the buy it if I like it. My VTX is a bit to handle when slow ridding the rake is a lot on them. The guy has some Sampson fishtails mufflers and a short windshield he said he would let me have for an extra $250.00 but I don't want a loud bike. My VTX had Bub Jug Huggers I want to be quiter now

From looking at these bikes it looks like the same ridding position as my VTX1800 Retro the Goldwing my feet were right under me I did not lie that much. I felt like this was a good deal I know it looks GREAT!

I posted this in the new member section but after thnking about it feel it should be here. Well let me start off by saying hello to you all! I’m just about ready to buy a 03 Venture it has 13700 miles and is in great condition. It has several extras that I know of extra brake light below trunk, chrome luggage rack, chrome saddlebag guards, driving lights, headlight, driving lights, turn signal light chrome visor rings, highway pegs and I think the leather tank piece is extra also. It also just had a new rear tire and brakes installed. This will be my first Yamaha motorcycle but I have owned several others. 94 Goldwing, 01 Kawasaki Vuclan 1500 Classic, 02 Honda VTX1800 Retro, two 03 Honda VTX1800 Retros and a 01 Harley RoadKing. I have not ridden this bike yet so how can I compare it to what I have ridden/owned? I want to get another dressed touring bike but really did not like the sitting position of the GW. So I can get this bike for $8500.00 with 2 helmets both with J&M headsets. Here is a picture of it tell me what you all think? I look forward to hearing from you.
