royalstarjac Posted November 30, 2009 Share #1 Posted November 30, 2009 I've replaced the 07 RSV I wrecked a month ago. ABS was a must this time around since wrecking in the rain which meant another RSV was out of the question. Maybe in the future Yammie will finally update the Venture and I will be back on one but for now this bike will have to do. It's a 2006. I do still have my '97 RSTC so I'm not completely out of Royal Stars. Here is a pic I stole from the previous owner.-Jack http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b152/bigjack1/wing/wing.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterbug Posted December 1, 2009 Share #8 Posted December 1, 2009 Nice looking bike!! I have been thinking about trading mine in for a wing since they have all the cool stuff and power!! Let us know how much diffrent this bike is to the venture and pros and cons. Ride safe and have fun:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonRider Posted December 1, 2009 Share #9 Posted December 1, 2009 Very nice bike, but you just wont look natural on it...........I have always liked the GW, but they have way too much plastic on them, now give me a Valk with the interstate package on it and I would be very happy with that, same engine, but it looks like a motorcycle............ http://i.ebayimg.com/23/%21BfIm7I%21%21mk%7E$%28KGrHqEH-EEErfLL62%29OBL%21FW614s%21%7E%7E_12.JPGPlease wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalstarjac Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share #10 Posted December 1, 2009 Nice looking bike!! I have been thinking about trading mine in for a wing since they have all the cool stuff and power!! Let us know how much diffrent this bike is to the venture and pros and cons. Ride safe and have fun:thumbsup: I took it for a short ride Sunday so this is a short term report. Pros: ABS, Navigation, Airbag, Heated seats and grips, lots of lights, power to spare, unreal torque, great handling. The seating position was ok for me. If you look closely at the pic you will see the bike already has the rider floorboards, heel and toe shifter and highway pegs. Instant throttle response. The bike is so quiet and smooth it almost feels like an electric motor. This could be a con for some folks since you don't get a lot of internal combustion feedback. I still have my 97 RSTC with the 4x4 Jardine Rumblers for when I want to bop around and make some noise. Cons: Haven't found any yet but if I find any in the long term, I'll let yall know.

atlm Posted December 3, 2009 Share #16 Posted December 3, 2009 Nice bike, Jack. I love the color. I'm looking forward to riding with you at another M&E. With the way your new bike handles, you'll have to keep an eye out to make sure the rest of us haven't disappeared behind you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
