Adams99 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Hello everyone. Just purchased a 99 Venture on Sat Oct. 20th with only 2,500 miles from the original owner. Yes that is the correct mileage. It is Bordeaux Red / Silver. It is replacing my first motorcycle, a 1993 Suzuki Intruder 1400 (I refer to as the poor man's Harley). I have been looking for a Venture for a while and the price and condition was right on this one. The ride is unbelievable and I look forward to clocking many of miles. Hope to see some of you guys around. P.S. If anyone is interested in a Suzuki Intruder 1400, I have one for sale.

Bubbajbi Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Welcome to the club, Adam. I purchased the same bike same color earlier this year and I love it. Like you, this is only my second scoot. It is nice to see that I am not the only young buck that rides one of these beasts. Safe and happy trails, Brent:cool10:
SilvrT Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 geeeesshhhhhh.... the way these "cream puffs" are bein snatched up, there won't be any left when I'm ready! :crying: congrats on the "new" scoot... I am envious!
Yama Mama Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Welcome Adam to the site! Personally, I believe the 99 RSV has the most class. Hehehehehehe! Have fun, and ride safely! Peggy
Adams99 Posted October 24, 2007 Author Posted October 24, 2007 Yea, I'll get some pictures up eventually. Bill, I too am going to miss the ole' Intruder. That beast has plenty of power. My only complaint about that bike is that it is a 4 speed and am always looking for 5th gear. I think with only being a 4 speed, I felt a lot of vibration, even with a gel seat. Suzuki wised up and eventually put in a 5 speed on the 1995 models. I've had that bike for almost 13 years and was looking for something different. My first pic was a Victory Kingpin with the chrome package, but the Venture was about 10 grand cheaper.
