Pilot Posted November 15, 2008 #1 Posted November 15, 2008 Even though I’m riding an Ultra now I still find myself coming back here to see what my Venture friends are up to. I hope you don’t mind. I find myself comparing both bikes all the time. Anyway to the point of this thread. An update on the Ultra and most probable all HD’s, I have finished a few mod’s on the bike and if you ever own an HD you will find this to be true. No matter what you plan on doing it will cost you 1 hundred dollars more then you think it will going into it. Which is where the HD comes into play, HD stands for Hundred Dollars….LOL I love the fact that there's LOTS of extras on the market for an Ultra, which is nice. If you can think of it it's probable available. Other then the money you have to pay for an HD (I'm still getting over that part) I still love it but if Yamaha ever updates the Venture and puts on ABS, Fuel Injection, a better stereo and improves the handling I will seriously look into trading back. I still love the Venture and for the money it’s a great bike. Keep the rubber down. PS: This time of year I wish I was still in TX.
kenw Posted November 15, 2008 #2 Posted November 15, 2008 We still love you even if you are an HD rider. Try to keep the bike together and come back to visit. Your always welcome! Remember to wave to us metric folks. kenw

Squidley Posted November 15, 2008 #6 Posted November 15, 2008 You know we dont care what you ride, keep yourself around here more often. I look forward to hearing what your experiences are with the H/D, I wont lie, I am thinking about one myself.
