WilsonTAMU83 Posted September 18, 2011 #2 Posted September 18, 2011 Dont waste the band width looking on the internet site, just go outside and look yours. Anything after 1999 will do!

Wayne O Posted September 18, 2011 #5 Posted September 18, 2011 It still come's with the CASSETTE deck
playboy Posted September 20, 2011 #6 Posted September 20, 2011 Looks like the same pics from the 2011 brochure I know its the same lady on the back she must like rsv's.
Mike G in SC Posted September 20, 2011 #7 Posted September 20, 2011 They got rid of the Lame Flame,,, good move.
Brake Pad Posted September 21, 2011 #8 Posted September 21, 2011 both tires are 150, is that strange?
RandyR Posted September 21, 2011 #9 Posted September 21, 2011 both tires are 150, is that strange? no. Thats what they always have been from the factory.
Monty Posted September 22, 2011 #10 Posted September 22, 2011 Like I said last time... http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/13thAFMonterey/NewFromYamaha2.gif

zooer Posted September 23, 2011 #13 Posted September 23, 2011 They got rid of the Lame Flame,,, good move. hey hey hey, wait a minute here======= I got the lame flame i I think I like it but jesh--------
footsie Posted September 23, 2011 #14 Posted September 23, 2011 No yall Yamaha has learned something other companies can not seem to learn, If it aint broke don't fix it. The RSV as far as I am concerned is the best overall bike there is, I have rode just about every kind of bike available, and I really like the RSV best. I am gald that there is one thing that does not change. Gregg
elcorbs Posted September 23, 2011 #15 Posted September 23, 2011 I just bought mine in April and would have hated to see any changes after just investing all that money. I am very pleased with mine and like was said earlier "if it aint broke don't fix it". Elliott
myminpins Posted September 23, 2011 #16 Posted September 23, 2011 I really doubt the last two posters would have missed the cassette deck had it been replaced with a satellite radio or a CD player, etc.
hillrider Posted September 23, 2011 #17 Posted September 23, 2011 On my '04, I don't think the passenger seat is that high.
hunter 1500 Posted September 23, 2011 #18 Posted September 23, 2011 I would like to see fuel injection on the RSV and a new RSTD.
MLCRIDER Posted September 24, 2011 Author #19 Posted September 24, 2011 I would like to see fuel injection on the RSV and a new RSTD. I agree, while there could or should be other upgrades, I would probably buy a new one the day it hit the show room floor, if it only had the fuel injection upgrade
Lone Eagle Posted September 26, 2011 #20 Posted September 26, 2011 I think it is unfortunate - though maybe I might - keyword might - understand in this economy why some of the manufacturer's - especially Star (Yamaha) don't release more updated model bikes - especially the Venture. The Strat may at the end of the day replace the Venture - don't know, but it IS sad nothing gets updated (for the most part) on the Venture. Having followed the various ad blitzes, reading the articles in various magazines, etc., the new Victory Cross Country Tour may just eat a lot of these mfg's for lunch. Approx. same pricing, less than 2% financing (versus 6.99% for Star/Yamaha), 5 year warranty (same as the Venture), a lot more features standard (the only component not standard is the CB - though it is wired for it - ala the Wing), the Cross Country Tour model looks interesting. I can't get a new bike at the moment, but if I were to begin evaluating new models, I would definitely be thoroughly checking all the offerings and financing from the variuos mfg's.
footsie Posted October 8, 2011 #21 Posted October 8, 2011 I really doubt the last two posters would have missed the cassette deck had it been replaced with a satellite radio or a CD player, etc. My sirius radio is mounted on the frount brake master cylinder. have not opened the cassette door in years.

Obber Posted October 8, 2011 #22 Posted October 8, 2011 At least they got the antenna on the correct side this time.:crackup::hihi::sign20:
greg_in_london Posted October 8, 2011 #23 Posted October 8, 2011 They seem pretty desperate for features to report - Gee whizz ! does it have an 18Ahr battery ! Is that a great upgrade ???
MikeWa Posted October 9, 2011 #24 Posted October 9, 2011 I also like the flames. And while the Venture may no longer be the class leader it is still a pretty respectable contender. Besides that I just like riding it. Mike
