PLEASE NOTE = PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE CASTING YOUR VOTE!!!!

 

Hello Touring Motorcycle enthusiasts!! Depending on how long you have been a motorcyclist, you may have heard of us, we are Yamaha and, as promised we are on another precipice in our history of manufacturing and releasing to you, the motorcycling community, yet another motorcycle that will indeed - turn our industry UP SIDE DOWN!!

This time, we here at Yamaha have chosen to our focus our attention on the Touring Motorcycle segment - more specifically, on our highly popular Venture line!!!

Before disclosing our new Venture please take a moment to reflect with us on other historic moments in motorcycling history where we, here at Yamaha, also turned one of the segments in our industry up side down. Perhaps you, or someone you know, will have experienced one of these amazing moments in history first hand and this little reminder will put a huge adrenaline filled smile on your face. If this is not the case for you, PLEASE have no fret, we here at Yamaha are about to offer you a first time chance and history making opportunity to experience first hand what the meaning of "TURNING THE MOTORCYCLE WORLD UP SIDE DOWN" entails when we at Yamaha set out to do exactly that!!

 

***The research and development we spent in producing the "RD" street bikes of the early 1970's instantly turned the street bike world of that era upside down when those bikes were released!! Many people who owned those early RD350's can testify to the excitement they felt as their friends, riding machines with 3 or 4 times the Cubic Inch/cc size of these little giant killers, stood in complete awe as they consistently were only able to view the little RD by catching a glimpse of its round tail light lens displayed on its chrome rear fender disappearing in front of them - the street bike world was turned upside down and changed forever.. The durability of this amazing 2 stroke motorcycle was also well known as many of them made it well beyond 50,000 miles before receiving their first top end job - something unheard of during the air cooled 2 stroke street bike days of the iconic 70's. To this day, the RD400/RD350 and its little brothers draw huge attention at motorcycle shows around the world and continue to demand very high value in Vintage Motorcycle sales.

 

*** The biggest and foremost street motorcycle producer in the world has just released their 2018 line up. This competitor of ours and large organization has spent decades improving and attempting to engineer motorcycle suspention that could handle the endless variances associated with touring on a motorcycle, even in modern times. After endless attempts and large amounts of capital being spent on testing all forms of suspention methods - this company has chosen to use the Mono-Shock suspention exclusively on all their production motorcycles.

A long forgotten fact to many modern day motorcyclist is that in the early '70's, we at Yamaha once again turned the motorcycle industry upside down with the introduction of our newly invented Mono Shock system - that is right, we at Yamaha invented this amazing method of conquering complex suspention needs of the motorcycling industry. Our early "YZ" motocross bikes, with their Yamaha invented and engineered state of the art mono shock systems, turned the motocross industry up side down when those early machines were released - ask any one who remembers those days of yesteryear about this fact!! Due mainly to this historic invention on our behalf - those early "YZ"'s also demand an amazing value in the sales of Vintage Motorcycles to this day and almost all of our competition is now using a form of our Mono-Shock invention in some form or another.

 

***Now follow the front wheel of your minds eye with us back to the mid 1980's. It was the beginning of what would become an endless pursuit of all motorcycle manufacturers to become the king of kings in the Muscle Bike segment. Although the competition was tough in this corner of the market place and endless idea's were tried, our little 1200cc/74 inch V-4 V-Max turned the motorcycling world up side down! By using our incredible Yamaha invention known in the history books as the "V-Boost" system, our little 1200cc V-Max is still the undisputed king of the Muscle Bike segment in its engine size to this very day. Proving once again and forever more that when we set out to turn ANY motorcycle segment UP SIDE DOWN, we do what we say and we mean business! It is also note worthy to note that our early Yamaha V-Max's also continue to demand very fair prices on the open market - certainly a testament to what can and does happen when any new motorcycle turns its competitive market place upside down!!

 

***In the late 1990's, we here at Yamaha once again turned the off road and track motorcycling industry up side down with the introduction of our 5 valve, formula one racing pancake pistoned, high horse powered and extremely responsive to throttle four stroke "YZF" motorcycles. We turned the dirt bike world and track bike world up side down again! If that was not enough, using the same technology we turned the GP course motorcycle segment up side down with the introduction of the 1000cc R1 world class super bike which, to this very day, maintains itsnstatus in the top ten fastest production motorcycles in the world!! Obviously, when a motorcycle manufacturer like Yamaha continues to turn the segments within its industry up side down it puts the whole world on notice!!

 

***In 2009 we here at Yamaha once again turned the motorcycling industry upside down with our next move in the Muscle Bike industry by introducing the our all new 1700cc, fuel injected V-4 Muscle Bike. That unbelievable machine is nothing short of spectacular. As a matter of fact, by turning the "big block" Muscle Bike segment up side down like we did, our competition in the big engine Muscle Bike segment gave up on this segment and instead chose to continue to do battle with the 1700cc V-Max's little brother that was introduced way back in the 1980's, we continue to thrive in that segment on our own!!! The compliment of all compliments and a trophy for continually fulfilling our promise when we say we are going to turn a motorcycling segment - UP SIDE DOWN!!

 

Fast forward now with us here at Yamaha to September 18th - 2017 as we are unleashing yet another one of our history changing motorcycles. This time our solid focus is on the ever challenging, large displacement touring motorcycle segment. We know from years of experience in this particular segment that the competition herein is nothing short of fierce - very similar in fact to the competition we faced back in every segment we listed above!!

Our current 1700cc V-Max engine has now proven itself extremely durable under all forms of conditions. We now have several experienced big block V-Max riders with well over 300,000 miles on this motor and we are extremely pleased with that and what our own in house testing revealed before we released that icon game changing machine to you, the buying public!! Blantantly - there is NOTHING like real life experience and we now once again have it, who says history does not repeat itself!! For this cause, our RnD department chose the 1700cc V-Max engine as a platform to build upon for our all new, turning the touring motorcycle segment UP SIDE DOWN, Yamaha Venture.

Many of our faithful Yamaha followers may also be aware that our RnD department has many decades of experimentation in Turbo Boosting within motorcycle applications. Using newly engineered and advanced electronic Ignition timing methods as well as all new Fuel Injection methods, we are now able to utilize twin turbo techology in conjuction with a detuned version of the 1700cc V-Max engine found in our history changing big block muscle bike to introduce an all new Venture that is guaranteed to turn the Touring Motorcycle segment UP SIDE DOWN!!

Using our Electronic "Mode Selection" button on the handle bar - you, the new owner of one of these modern, water cooled, shaft driven, aluminum framed Ventures can select 1 of 3 modes of riding fun. While our "easy way out" and fully functional "rain mode" will supply you with 175 HP and 160 Ft/lbs of endless smooth power that is completely controlled by our anti wheel spin mode and anti lock fully linked braking system - a quick flip of the same button will boost up the new Ventures twin turbo's to deliver an amazing 225 rear wheel horse power while also delivering a whooping 230 ft/Lbs of torque at the same rear wheel all while leaving the handling of such fun to you, the experienced modern day Touring Rider!!

Indeed - we here at Yamaha have once again - TURNED MOTORCYCLING HISTORY UP SIDE DOWN!!
