Venture spotted on 60 minutes

[gmarshall]

Last night on 60 minutes they did a piece about economic development in the golden triangle area of Mississippi. The director of the development agency rode off on his Venture to go to a meeting with a prospective company in one scene. It was two tone red and black. i don't know what year that makes it.

 

anyone from that area, or is her member? (He should be).

The Venture had the Red and Black two tone in 2001. Don´t think they made that color scheme another year.

Candy Red/Raven in 2009. Maybe????

Yah, my question was going to be 1st gen or 2nd gen?? Most likely 2nd as there really wasn't a red and black 1st gen...

[eusa1]

had to be an 09 2nd gen. they did not offer a black and red 2nd gen any other year

The 2007 RSTD was red/black

[eusa1]

As was the 2005 tour deluxe

Yep. 2005 was black on top. Red lower. 2007 was red on top. Black lower (I had an '07 and had forgotten about the '05)

Well I am afraid that is not correct Eusa - they actually did offer them in 2001 and I have seen a couple in person. In 2001 they had Cherry Red and Black even though they are not very common. Here is a picture of one I found on the web and there are others.

VIN number verifies it to be a 2001.

VIN: JYAVP04E61A005024 The tenth letter (number) indicating the year of production.

This one is for sale on eBay at the moment. Item number 201734454351 - and there are a quite a few other 2001 Cherry Red/Black for sale on the web.

This one is a steal for the price he is asking and he is also welcoming offers. Would most likely buy it if I was looking for another bike. Purdy bike !!

I don't think so Jonas. I think it is Bordeaux. VERY dark red. I went to the one on Ebay and if you really zoom in, I THINK I can see that it is the Boardeaux.

They called it bordeaux red in 2001 and the same color was on some of the silver and "egg plant" 99.

yamaha never produced a black and red of any shade in 2001.

you can go to eom parts finder and it will show you if you have further doubts. 100%
