In its time when all the big four were making touring machines the Venture was the lightest and sportiest of all. After all, the V-Max used the Venture engine so you know it has plenty of power.

Yes, it's a 1983. I am working feverishly to get it road ready soon. It sat for 3 years. Steve drained the tank, and added a bit of gas/sea foam, and cranked it up.

Keep us posted on your Venturesome venture.
The website I referred you to is basically the equivalent of this GSR, except it's for Ventures, 1st and 2nd generations. Pay it a visit and ask plenty of questions of those very helpful people. My name there is NDiaz.

Got some case polishing to do though.Comment

One of the first times I rode the Blue Ridge Parkway, early 90's, on a '73 Honda CB450, I thought I was a corner carvin' fool... Guy on a loaded down Yammie Venture cleaned my clock in a turn and just calmly motored on by, used the turn sigs and all. Damn tourists got no respect for us racers...
