Just found out that the 2006 MRSV I am looking at has 61,000 mi on it which is a fair bit but from what I've read here on the site, many of you have way more miles on yours without any major issues. I think I can get this bike for $8K and it's very clean and loaded with options.

Thanks all for your feedback, that helps my decision when the right deal comes along. To answer some of the questions, yes I am in Bonita Springs Florida for 6 months of the year and ride a 2001 Kawi Nomad down here. Right now I have a clutch spring to replace and just had the carbs done. Back home in Parry Sound I have an 800 Vulcan which I want to replace with the Venture. I missed a great deal on a real beauty (black & cherry) last fall but the guy wanted a bit too much for it......I should have bit the bullet and bought it. Anyway, thanks for the welcome mat and I certainly will join the group.

Hello, I am considering the purchase of a used Yamaha Venture. My concern is that the Yamaha is not fuel injected. I know this model has been around for many years and I would really appreciate hearing some feedback on carburetor issues, if any. I am looking at bikes 2006 upwards and one in particular is a 2006 loaded at $8500, not sure of mileage just yet.
