Lucky you got the carburated version: the EFI latest models are a reference for underpowerment!
Heavy and slow!
I didn't think they had an EFI model. When I last went to the Yamaha dealer, they said the Ventures have been the exact same since 1999.
Looks nice Zak! Hope you're felling better.
Yep doing well. Wrist is still sore and cramps pretty bad at times, but so far so good.
I think I saw that bike when it was on eBay. Good price for what it is and the accessories. Where are you located? As I recall, that bike wasn't far from me.
I found him through the Venture Riders forum. I think he did have it on Ebay though. I am in Northern VA and he was in Lexington SC. Met him in Wilson NC to pick up teh bike and eat some good BBQ and fried chicken at Parkers.
