Is this your turbocharged Goldwing?

Nope I wished it was though it would be fun to jack with people on

Doesnt look like it pulls much boost.

120 in 15 seconds? I do that in 11 on the Vmax (almost a 10). I think the 1800's almost do that stock? I'll know how fast this Venture we're working on will go later this summer. I'm expecting mid 11's at around 115 or so.

I know I wasn't super impressed, but notice there is virtually no boost ever really showing.

I had an 86 Venture Royal and it was quite quick for what it was and went through corners real well. Much sportier than the Goldwings of that period IMO. It was a handful at parking lot speeds though, very top heavy.

I was very disappointed when they came out with the new version. Instead of keeping it sporty.....Yamaha went in the other direction and made it very Harleyesque. I thought it should have been more like the Beemer KL1600. I would have bought one if it was.

One track minded I did not even pay attention to the time. I just seen turbo Goldwing. Yeah that is not to great. I know them things will wheelie in stock form.
