hmmm.....what's different about this?

[Freebird]

Anybody see any major change?

[Jerry W]

Engine is all blacked out, also looks like a different design on the engine.

[E-Fishin-C]

Style of the engine redesigned

[Thom]

very good photoshop , new vmax motor in a 2nd gen , don't we wish

[eazyduzzit]

Where'd that picture come from?

[Freebird]

You guys are pretty quick. I was just playing around and thought I would build the bike that I want. I just need it in silver. You are right, it is the VMAX engine in the RSV. I just sort of combined two photos that I took off the starmotorcycles site.

 

Or...I could try to convince you all that it is a "spy photo" but I know you are all too smart to fall for that.

[V7Goose]

Yeah, it has an ugly engine.

Now if you could just add some chrome to that engine.... I'll take one!!

[Dano]

Keep dreaming Don, maybe by the time you're ready for a trike......

[Freebird]

You know the old saying....beauty is in the eye of the beer holder...I mean beholder.

[dingy]

If it would fit in, I would try it.

Dang. I was gonna guess the cb antenna is on the wrong side.

Don needs a hobby.

 

 

 

[hipshot]

don, you ain't any better with "paint schemes", than those Jap engineers!

you could have made it SILVER with purple highlights!lol

 

i was gonna say the "rake angle", looked different, and the engine was blacked out, like a C B 900 Honda, but someone beat me to it!

just jt:icon_smile_question

[Marcarl]

It's just not fast enough to be BLUE!!!!

[Yammer Dan]

Can you put it in a 1st Gen??

[Guest]

Didnt see any rider floorboards either. But if its a VMAX motor in the 2nd gen (3rd gen?) then ill take it that way!!!

[CaptainJoe]

Hey! I like mine black!

 

I can wash my 650 Vstar midnight custom in 5 min. the only thing chrome on that engine is the very top of piston head.

 

With all the chrome on the Venture, its more like 15 and then you do not have the option of skipping the wax job...

 

So, I'll take one in black please.

And then it will be a true R S MIDNIGHT Venture!

I may be in the minority, but I think the blacked out engine looks sexy!

How much modification would you have to do to make it fit?

[Freebird]

It will fit, no problem at all. You just have to re-size it just a bit in any graphics program.

 

Not that I would ever go to the trouble of actually doing it but it would be interesting to take some measurements and see if it would be possible.

[Flyinfool]

I have a cutting torch, a sledge hammer, and a welder, I say it fits.

Would look good in a 1st gen too.

Thats the first thing I saw too,,,

[Iowawegian]

I noticed the black out....but what really stood out was the cd changer instead of the cassette!! hehehehe....

[CrazyHorse]

Nice job with the merge
