a wing rider converts...for how long???

[22lyons]

Well, been driving wings for 25 years...a 79, 80 and still have my 82. Stumbled over a deal on a 2000 venture i couldn't pass up so now I am a venture man. i do enjoy riding it. Has some loud pipes so may quiet it down a bit. Other than the small intermitent "whine" and the speedo off by 12mph I enjoy the bike.

Welcome to the club. So, it took ya 25 years to come to your senses??

Just kidding.....nothing wrong with a wing.....The RSV is a nice bike. Enjoy it.

welcome to the crazy train. The 2 complaints from what Ive read and heard myself are common . If you are haveing intermitant whining then you are better off than some as a lot of peaple have complained about the whine quite a bit. ANd as for the loud pipes , if ypu want to quite them down then maybey you can make a trade with some one who has stocker and are wanting louder pipes.

Yeah I traded my 91 wing this past monday for a great deal on an 06'....time will tell..

I have a couple sets of stock venture pipes, one of the sets have never been run, i took the bike out of the crate myself and removed them before i ever put a drop of fuel into the bike.

i would be glad to sell them or trade them for the rite pipes??

Well done; I sold my 84 Wing that I had since new and bought an 01 last August. Outside of the usual already talked of little faults the rsv has brought on a completely new ride and experience. Put about 5400 k on a trip this summer in the Canadian Rockies and over to Vancouver Island without any glitches and it was pure gold.

 

Both bikes are good; it is whatever you are looking for that will tell the day and I am enjoying the change immensely...
