Well I did it.

I have always wanted a Venture just because it made sense to me if you love the Vmax and you are familiar with it the Venture is not a step down too far.
What I was wondering is if anyone has both. And is there a good Venture site as this because you guys have been great to me. Yes I have done a search and found some sites but I just wanted your opinions were on the best ones.
Thanks Mike

Yea I understand. I don't believe that I could swing that by the wife.

I haven't moved up to the Venture yet , waiting for older age to set in , so just a Royal Star so far .

Try www.venturers.org for a Venture / Royal Star forum / group

We have a pretty educated venture rider in the forum. I am sure he will chime in soon.

I have had both, and at the same time. There are a few Venture forums out there but I would recommend the same one as Mike, venturerider.org, as the best one out there. Don, and the whole site, are as friendly and informative as this site is.

As for the Venture it's a great bike but does have one or two short comings you'll find really quick. The most noticeable is the height and the slow speed handling. One of the first things I did was lower it some and the improvement in the slow speed handling was extremely noticeable. The bike is great for long distance riding and just like the Vmax everyone has theirs set up differently. If there are any questions I can help with just fire away.

Would love to see a Venture HOT ROD Bagger, using all the good pieces and the sound identical to the Max, would be awesome

Hmmm ! I do have an extra engine sitting here runs good but needs 2nd fixed but I have the venture trans laying here to put in it. maybe I need to find a venture with a bad motor.
