Venture

[Pastor Jay]

I am looking to test drive a 2018 Yamaha Venture. Looks a bit more comfortable for touring especially for my wife. Anyone have any experience on the the bike? Any suggestions or comments. Thanks

I traded my last Raider in on one in 18 Venture nice bike and comfortable but really missed the Raider so I bought another Raider and then sold the Venture  it just wasn't me

I was thinking the Venture would be my next bike if I ever outgrow my Raider but I'm having a tough time imagining that happening for awhile. Love the Venture though and would choose it over an overpriced Harley any day. Good luck with whatever choice you make!

Thanks guys. I will test drive and see what happens. It is also hard for me to imagine enjoying any ride as much as I do the Raider.

I absolutely Love my 2018 Eluder it's all the comfort and handling you could ever ask for and the wind protection from the fairing is incredible keeps you warm when it's a chilly ride and reduces road noise immensely to the point you can actually enjoy the infotainment system to it full potential.

And the best part of all is it's a Yamaha buttery smooth in all the right places.

And a six speed slipper clutch, if I had a nickel for every time we lamented not having the sixth gear on our Raider I could buy an Eluder for my back up bike!
