Dragonslayer Posted April 13, 2013 #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]
Peder_y2k Posted April 13, 2013 #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
Snaggletooth Posted April 13, 2013 #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.
MiCarl Posted April 13, 2013 #6 Posted April 13, 2013 Congratulations GAWildcat and hubby for benefiting from Dragonslayer's (temporary?) insanity.

eusa1 Posted April 13, 2013 #12 Posted April 13, 2013 I have to say, thats a good color choice! The second fastest color for the 2nd gens:cool10::whistling:Mike
Skid Posted April 13, 2013 #13 Posted April 13, 2013 WOOHOO another VentureRider wises up. Good decision! Sorry Yammer...
RandyR Posted April 14, 2013 #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.
GAWildKat Posted April 14, 2013 #16 Posted April 14, 2013 I know Mike will enjoy Bob's bike and is looking fwd to his 1st ride. I was thrilled for the opportunity to get a solid bike from a member. Thank you Bob for working with me to give Mike his college graduation present a yr early.
StormRaven Posted April 14, 2013 #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.
Dragonslayer Posted April 14, 2013 Author #20 Posted April 14, 2013 Congratulations GAWildcat and hubby for benefiting from Dragonslayer's (temporary?) insanity.I will definitely miss the old girl. It is important to me that she is going to a good home close by so I might be able to see her from time to time.:crying:
Dragonslayer Posted April 14, 2013 Author #21 Posted April 14, 2013 Wow looks alot like mine................hey can I buy the trailer? Or borrow it anytime I want? It does kinda look like yours they must be twins.... I might consider letting you use the trailer if you want to scoot on down here and get it... maybe for a nominal fee of course, I was considering letting you do the seat mod..... But, it appears that you already have
