Adams99 Posted October 23, 2007 #1 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 #7 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 #8 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 #9 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 #10 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.
