Who Dey Posted June 27, 2011 Share #1 Posted June 27, 2011 I found this article and it's a pretty good read. Looks like our old Venture faired pretty well. http://www.ridermagazine.com/output.cfm?id=2226349 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyR Posted June 27, 2011 Share #3 Posted June 27, 2011 A 5 year warranty for the Royal Star vs 1 (Victory), 2 (Harley) or 3 (Kawa). Not mentioned at all in the article. Also dinged for only a 5 speed tranny, when a 6 would just be a nuisance when we have such a wide power band compared to the other bikes. But, a fairly good article. Also not sure where they got their HP figures from? They may have used the lower HP from the early Royal Stars, and and not the Gen2 Venture/RSTD. handling in the curves got dinged, likely the test bike had factory Bridgestone tires on it.

Condor Posted June 27, 2011 Share #4 Posted June 27, 2011 Nice read. Kinda rare to see the RSV included in any comparison test due to it being around for so long. I think they refered to it as 'old school' somewhere in the article.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
