Dragonslayer Posted April 13, 2013 Share #1 Posted April 13, 2013 I'm usually a very loyal individual to my convictions but, In this case I must confess I've made a decision to jump on board the 2nd Gen band wagon. I just picked up the NEW-To-ME 2000 Yamaha XVZ1300 mm Millenium Limited Edition 2nd Gen that I bought from RandyR. Soon GAwildkat Patricia and her hubby Michael will be the proud new parents of my 87 MKII Yamaha Venture Royale 1st gen [ATTACH]75605[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]75606[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]75607[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peder_y2k Posted April 13, 2013 Share #2 Posted April 13, 2013 Well I must say that color on the new-to-you bike is IMHO the most complimentary of all the color options. I'm still a fan of the 1st gens, but that color has me wavering. -Pete, in Tacoma WA USA '83,88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggletooth Posted April 13, 2013 Share #4 Posted April 13, 2013 I got to hand it to ya, if I had to make the change the Millenium would be the one to get me to change seats. Nice choice. Enjoy. And you know your MKII is going to a good home. Good deal all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyR Posted April 14, 2013 Share #15 Posted April 14, 2013 I know Bob will take good care of it. meanwhile, I'll enjoy riding the RSTD with the windshield off when summer gets here. Maybe Bob and I will ride up to MD together again? US23 goes almost doorstop to doorstop for us and is a pleasant & scenic ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormRaven Posted April 14, 2013 Share #17 Posted April 14, 2013 Wanted to take this rare opportunity of having a few minutes of free time to say thank you, DragonSlayer. I look forward to the hopefully many years of enjoyment that my new to me first 1st gen will offer. I do apologize that I was unable to meet you in person when Tricia met with you to discuss the bike, but I do look forward to meeting with you when we take the bike off your hands.
