Hey Rick,

Yamaha stopped the production of the First Gen. Venture in 1993 and in the United States 1993 was the last year that the Venture Royale was offered. All of the remaining Venture Royales were sold in Europe and Canada as a 1994 Model but none were produced after 11/93. So to answer your question, 1993 was the last production year for the VR in the U.S. and 1994 was the last year for the VR in Europe and Canada.

I hope this helps,

Earl

Interesting... thanks. I knew they stopped production in 1993 but didn't realize what was left over up here got sold as 1994 models.

 

That would then make a 1994 a bit of a rarity one might think...?

And its a Blue one!!!

It is a MK2 so that makes it '86 thru '93...

Hey Rick,

Since they stopped ALL production of the First Gen. VR's in 1993, it just means that it is a left over 93'VR. Not really a big deal. The European parts lists do show a listing for the 94'VR but everything is the same as the 93'VR, including the color.

IF you get the VIN number the 10th difit is the year, if it is a P it is a 93, and a R is 94.

 

At least this is what year they said it was made. May have been sold as a new 94 but I would assume it is actually a 93

 

Curious what Yamaha classified it as ?
