HELP! Before I buy another Venture...

[malenurse13]

OK, I took my wife and 6 kids up to Texarkana, TX this morning and bought the bike! I paid $2800 for a 2000 Venture with 46k miles.

I took everyone's advice and checked it out real good before test drive. The bike starts IMMEDIATELY when the start button is pushed, even when cold. My fuel injected sports bike wouldn't even do that! This Venture seems to run great! I'm looking forward to putting another 150k miles on it!

Congrats. $2800 for a excellent condition Gen 2 - good on ya!

I am a light weight mechanic but I would recommend you take the time to check the fuel pump “points” for wear and buy the ignition key switch bypass “thingy”. Both as preventative.

Enjoy your new scoot. It is gorgeous!

,,, if I had me a great big gorgeous scoot like that I would ride it till the tires fell off,, stop and spoon on another set and do it all over again!!

That there is one purdy machine - little bit tuning and preppin and she would be ready to earn some stickers IMHO!!

Congrats Doc,, glad it all worked out!!
