Anybody looking for a good deal on an '08?

[frankd]

If anybody wants what looks to me to be a good deal on an 2008 2nd. Gen Venture, you may want to contact my local Yamaha dealer (Rich's Yamaha, Lockport, IL--815-838-8130, ask for John).

 

It had less than 900 miles on it when I took it for a test ride a couple of weeks ago. It's dark silver, and appears to be perfect. Barb and I rode it for about 1 hour, and finally at about 45MPH with just the right amount of throttle, I heard just a trace of a whine from the primary gearing, it's way less than my 83. The price is $13,500, and it has a set of Bub mufflers on it. However, if the original mufflers are available and if you'd rather have them they will swap them for you, your choice.

 

Before you ask why I'm not buying it----It's the first 2nd Gen I've ridden, and I felt that I wouldn't like the seating position for a long ride. I ended up buying a low mileage 1st Gen from an add here in the classifieds.

 

If you have any questions about the 2008, I'll be happy to answer them here, E-mail, or on the telephone.

Curious to know your opinion on the bub mufflers....

I know you are only trying to be a good guy and help someone out, but if anyone is looking for a new bike, I hope they look at Squidleys first. Craig

We know what kind of shape Squid keeps his Scoots in. Couldn't go wrong.

You want my opinion on the Bubs.....They were too loud for my liking. If I were going to buy it I'd have requested the stock mufflers---- But then again, I just turned 60. If I were younger they'd probably be just right.

 

I agree on Squidley's bike. I really am only trying to help somebody out. The bike doesn't really belong to the dealer, but a friend of his.

Squidleys bike is the number one bike for sale. Lets all promote Squidleys bike as the number one bike for sale and after his bike is gone then we can post info on other bikes.

I am sure that his bike is the best deal one can get.

No offense regarding previous info from "frankd",- sure he was just wanting us all to know about a good deal and did not know about Squidleys bike.

Thats a screaming good deal on an '08 and fellas I do appreciate your thinking of me. Frank I also appreciate you taking the time to post up the bike you have mentioned. I owe $2000 more on my bike and if someone has a budget to live by $2K can break a deal. I always like to see one of our members get a good deal or upgrade to a scoot that they really want...never too many choices
