Can't say physically where that is but the newspaper and the printing across the screen are not German....I think Swedish maybe.

Our resident Butcher may confirm this, but i think it's from the Netherlands

Thats what I liked about my 1st gen Brad, I do miss that extra power my 83 had compared to the 2nd gen. but got to say since my age has caught up with me, the 2nd gen. is fast enough now. I'm out to enjoy just the ride and the scenery now and see if I can get 24,000 miles out of the rear tire like I did the time before last. Got over 5,000 miles on it now, and it doesn't look like it's even started to wear yet. I really got spoiled getting a new tire every two years instead of every 8 months until Dunlop decided to only make a soft rubber tire instead of making both a soft and a hard one tire. Greed finally set in, and their like everybody else now, only wanting to make more money and the heck with us poor people wanting to get a good long lasting tire now.

Probably Netherlands. The movie clip intro had a ham radio callsign PD0JAC.

Do a callsign lookup on that at http://www.QRZ.COM and you get a name address and a picture which seems to mach the movie clip rider on the Venture.
