I am over it being called a "Venture". I am over it being a "V-Twin". I no longer care what they call it, or how it is made. It is not made for me. I am so over it. Had they built what I wanted, and I knew they could, or something even kinda close, I would have voted with my money and bought one.
However, I wish Yamaha the best of luck and I hope they sell a quadzillion of them and I will cheerfully help out on here when a 3rd Genners ask questions if I can.
Now... Kawasaki is teasing a touring machine with a huffer. I think I just wet myself.....
