lanster Posted April 30, 2015 #1 Posted April 30, 2015 Last week I stopped in a Yamaha dealer in Effingham, Illinois. The guy at the parts counter told me that he heard new Ventures are coming out October 2015 and will be fuel injected and they are going to change the cassette deck--he did not know how. That's about all he knew but this is great news. 06 RSV Midnight/Hannigan
steamer Posted April 30, 2015 #3 Posted April 30, 2015 Hope he's right, getting tired of playing this game every year.
videoarizona Posted April 30, 2015 #4 Posted April 30, 2015 Maybe we should take up a contest. See who guesses the correct date the new Ventures will be announced. Year, month, day, hour. Cost a few bux to get in....winner gets half (or something)...rest goes to St Jude's kids... Thoughts? david (and no...I'm not good at setting this stuff up)
Skid Posted April 30, 2015 #6 Posted April 30, 2015 Let the rumors begin. Although eventually it will happen.
BlueSky Posted May 1, 2015 #7 Posted May 1, 2015 It may not happen. Suzuki gave up the big tourers didn't they?
rickardracing Posted May 1, 2015 #8 Posted May 1, 2015 I heard from a guy who's brother that knows a guy who has a brother inlaw from his cousins wifes fathers side who is the half brother of another guy who's wife has a friend that is a fry cook next to a Yammy dealer that says it will be December of 2020. The bike will have remote start, a direct injected water cooled v-3, backup camera, 7 speed trans with 2 speed reverse, full compliment of gauges, onboard cell phone, with 6 inch curved monitor for a years free subscription to Netflix. I can't wait. Marking it on my calendar and will be the first in line.
cowpuc Posted May 1, 2015 #9 Posted May 1, 2015 It may not happen. Suzuki gave up the big tourers didn't they? Yea,, remember the Cavalcades,,, those things were gorgeous.. Been a long time since I have seen when out and about.. If memory serves correct, 1400cc V-4, very well thought out machine, had some minor issues like all bikes but was over built.. I think Suzuki lost money on it as it just didnt compete well in the tight nit touring market and they stopped building it.. I agree with what I think your saying here BlueSky, I hope the refrain from giving the world a Gen 3 Venture (talking V-4 mtr) is not based on there being to few of us Venture folk left.. @Freebird,, gotta ask something (if you cant answer cause your sworn to secrecy I understand), have always wondered whether or not mother Yamaha has "spies" watching VR,, as in doing market research and stuff... Any thoughts on that? Sorry about Boss,, flaw in my charactor and all that:hihi:
Flyinfool Posted May 1, 2015 #10 Posted May 1, 2015 I think the Boss already answered that @cowpuc. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?102280-Let-the-discussion-begin&p=907786#post907786
BlueSky Posted May 1, 2015 #11 Posted May 1, 2015 Puc, you're right. It was a 1400 V4, trying to out do the Venture I'm sure, since it was offered from 85 through 88 according to Wiki. I always thought it was a straight 4 like the big Kaw. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_GV1400_Cavalcade
cowpuc Posted May 1, 2015 #12 Posted May 1, 2015 I think the Boss already answered that @cowpuc. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?102280-Let-the-discussion-begin&p=907786#post907786 AWESOME!!! Thanks for, once again,, having my back you snow makin fool you!!!
cowpuc Posted May 1, 2015 #14 Posted May 1, 2015 TFL...I already bought a hardley. Trade it in, the new 1700cc Venture is gonna be awesome:big-grin-emoticon:!!!!!!!!!! COME ON YAMAHA,, LETS SHOW EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could do something like a dollar a date pic just to keep it affordable for everyone.. Exciting times, Yamaha better do something soon or I got this gut feeling that a more and more Venture riders are gonna be jumping ship
Freebird Posted May 1, 2015 #16 Posted May 1, 2015 I know for a fact that Yamaha used to read this forum. I suspect that they still do but can't say for sure.
Squidley Posted May 1, 2015 #17 Posted May 1, 2015 Lanny, I hope you realize that our less than doubtful comments aren't directed at you. This happens every year and most of us that have wished for a new Venture are always let down by Yamaha. I HIGHLY doubt Yamaha will come out with another Venture. Too much money involved in retooling to make a machine that will effectively be equal to the Wing's, HD's or BMW's. If it's not a V4, it's not a Venture, and if they are going to do an air cooled twin, all the loyalists will reject it...0.02
dacheedah Posted May 1, 2015 #18 Posted May 1, 2015 ugh hugh, my brothers cousin's, sister's neighbor's boyfriend said that . . . A venture without a cassette deck would be like a Ford without a tow truck to get it where you are goin. . .
steamer Posted May 1, 2015 #19 Posted May 1, 2015 The way I see it is if they come out with a new Venture or what ever, The price of a used second gen. will drop significantly. I should be able to keep my trike on the road for another 20 year with all those used bikes and parts out there. only problem is what to do with all those cassette players:confused24:

dacheedah Posted May 5, 2015 #21 Posted May 5, 2015 Newsflash, Yamaha just found 100,000 new 8 track decks
cowpuc Posted May 5, 2015 #22 Posted May 5, 2015 Newsflash, Yamaha just found 100,000 new 8 track decks I would trade my Yamaha Cassette Deck straight up for a Yamaha 8 track deck.. Tweeks would LOVE it!!
Stache Posted May 5, 2015 #23 Posted May 5, 2015 Yours didn't come with an 8-track? Odd, I thought they all did.
cowpuc Posted May 5, 2015 #24 Posted May 5, 2015 Yours didn't come with an 8-track? Odd, I thought they all did. Nope,, and now I feel like I was wronged!! Maybe Yamaha should give me a really special deal on the new Gen 3 V-Max Motored Venture to make up for it,, THAT would make me feel a LOT better Stache
