mralex714 Posted April 10, 2013 Share #26 Posted April 10, 2013 How far do you want to travel and do you want a bike that's ready to roll or needs work? If I didn't already have two I would get this one. http://orlando.craigslist.org/mcy/3725436338.html:080402gudl_prv: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dacheedah Posted April 10, 2013 Share #28 Posted April 10, 2013 Is it a Venture or Venture Royale ( I would go for the royale ) had an 89 and it was awesome. It might just be me but I would change to new rubber if it were more than a few years old. Cheap insurance. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norsk1 Posted April 10, 2013 Share #29 Posted April 10, 2013 Its hard to find low milage 1st gens for less than $3000. I recently found my blue 1990 with 27,000 miles on Craigslist for $2200, so deals are out there for those that wait and look. As far as bling you need to decide if it is stuff you want or will be trying to sell on Ebay later. Highway pegs, trailer hitches, backrest, luggage racks will each add to the cost of a cycle if you want to add them later. Ride safe! Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mralex714 Posted April 18, 2013 Share #31 Posted April 18, 2013 Have you decided yet? Your profile says you are in WI, here's a nice bike at a dealer in WI, if you don't mind it no being blue. http://www.cedarcreekmotorsports.com/pre_owned_detail.asp?veh=3183025:cool10: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karaboo Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share #32 Posted April 18, 2013 I am going to give the 1990 VR one final checkup on Saturday, and if it passes, I will bring it home. That is, if the roads dry out enough after the snow we are supposed to get on Friday. I don't really want to drive through slush and salt for 70 miles.

I myself would take a closer look at the one in Texas with the trailer for $2800. I'd fly down and ride it home... Put some $$$ down on it and maybe he would hold it until the weather got better...

Karaboo Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share #35 Posted April 20, 2013 I am NOT going to Texas for a motorcycle. I am, however going to go pick one up tomorrow. My only question now is am I going to freeze my *%$ off on the 70 mile trip home. Most of the snow should be melted off the roads, but the high is only going to hit 38 degrees. I am sooo tired of waiting for spring. I mean, COME ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sooo tired of waiting for spring. I mean, COME ON! congrats on finding one you like. 38 is doable if you dress for it. Dress in layers. Good boots. good gloves. full face helmet. Close the dash vents close the vents in front of your shins. open the vents in the side panels to bring up engine heat. I have ridden my venture down to 20 degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karaboo Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share #37 Posted April 20, 2013 Thanks for that advice. It's just what the PO told me to do, too. It wasn't bad at all. 65mph down the freeway and I didn't even get a chill. At 55 I had my visor open. So, now that it is home, I'll start a new post with pictures of my new baby, after a little cleaning. Now I need to get my membership paid up, before I forget.
