cowpuc Posted March 17, 2017 #1 Posted March 17, 2017 When I see stuff like this it just puts a great big proud smile on my face (check out the mileage).. Cant help but wonder if this belonged to one of our members - if so,, come to Michigan this year sometime and ol Pucster will gladly give ya pat on the back accompanied with an afternoon of free Hot Dogs!!! http://yamahaoflasvegas.com/Motorcycles-Yamaha-Royal-Star-R-Venture-2005-Las-Vegas-NV-80c6f161-b800-4f2d-9811-a687010ef380
BlueSky Posted March 17, 2017 #2 Posted March 17, 2017 The dealer probably gave the PO $500 for it in trade!
videoarizona Posted March 18, 2017 #3 Posted March 18, 2017 I tell ya, if I had the bux...I think I would buy it just as a spare! Darn scoot is just getting broken in...
stickhandle2 Posted March 18, 2017 #4 Posted March 18, 2017 They are a great machine, my 02 Midnight is just at 149,000km barely broken in. Mike
videoarizona Posted March 22, 2017 #5 Posted March 22, 2017 Yea that...about the pics... Add the Burlwood dash treatment ?? what the....?? I have the evil twin sister...
Sylvester Posted March 23, 2017 #6 Posted March 23, 2017 Miles mean nothing. I have over 200k on my 02 and when I was with Star Touring a member had 296k on a 99 RSV and that was in 2005. The burl wood is and applicay that I have on my bike also. Looked great new but the sun does it harm. I would buy it in a heartbeat if it was within 200 miles.
Chaharly Posted March 23, 2017 #7 Posted March 23, 2017 I try to show this stuff to Dad when he tries feeding me the whole "Ventures just aren't nearly as dependable as Goldwings"
BlueSky Posted March 24, 2017 #8 Posted March 24, 2017 I suspect it could be bought for a lot less than $2999. With all those miles, not many riders would want it. And you can buy a much lower mile Venture for just a little more. Craiglist in my area has an 08 advertised for $4600.

I agree that price seems quite inflated for a "general market" where most people would be greatly turned off my a high mileage bike. I had a hard time selling a 8yr old HD with 33k miles with most guys walking away saying its to worn out...

BratmanXj Posted March 24, 2017 #11 Posted March 24, 2017 For a Harley that is worn out..................... I guess your only suposta buy American, not ride it?
CaseyJ955 Posted March 24, 2017 #12 Posted March 24, 2017 For a Harley that is worn out..................... Just like you have dog years vs human years, you have HD years/miles vs real bike years/miles. With a rice burner 33k aint no mileage at all.
