Eddie Posted March 22, 2013 #28 Posted March 22, 2013 NO better bike than the Venture !!!! It's sad that this is not true , I loved my 04 but I wouldn't buy a brand new 04 for 20000+ when I paid 15000 brand new for the same bike. I'm not tring to belittle the RSV I'm just still pissed that they haven't upgraded the thing.

I'm not tring to belittle the RSV I'm just still pissed that they haven't upgraded the thing. I agree, why buy a new RSV when it has not changed since 1999? As long as poeple keep buying them new, why change them? If you look the bike over, take it for a spin, you can tell if it has been well maintained. As far as the RSV being the best bike out there...my 07 is the only one I have ever had so I cannot make that statement. I do know my brother in-law (who is a member here) just traded his Midnight in on a new Victory the other day. I have stated before that if I was in the market for a new scoot, I would look elsewhere. I could not plunk down 20k for a bike with a cassette deck in it. It just goes against my grain. There is absolutely no reason Yamaha cannot offer a direct replacement for the cassette. They can build a gauge pod to fit right in there with all the hook ups. I bet alot of those units would get sold.

The main reason I didn't buy a venture is because they didn't upgrade it over the years. RSV is a great bike, just think how much better it could be with upgrades. As for the original post....If I wanted new and color wasn't an issue, I would look for a leftover.
