I just purchased an '07 Venture Midnight,B-E-A-UTIFUL.What comfort,whata ride,music and storage.I have been riding a Honda VTX1300c and it was time to graduate.I found this bike brand new 1 mile on it.I bought it sight unseen from Wisconsin and had it shipped to Georgia.The expectation was almost unbearable.They unloaded it,I inspected it and fired it off.Not expecting it to sound great with stock exhaust compaired to the Hard Chrome Classic Americans on the VTX I cruised home in the rain so excited about the prospects of the next days ride if it had any issues I did not know.
The next day I went out and admired the vision parked in my garage and thanked God for a wife who without any prompting authorised the purchase of this beauty.I put in the key,pulled out the choke,flipped the kill switch and pressed the starter switch......I cut the thing off so fast I thought that it must be out of oil or tranny fluid or something.It was so different from anything I have ever heard-Honda,Harley you name it.I went into an instant buyers remorse depressionary state.I took it out on the road after checking it out and could not believe that a bike this nice would be allowed to leave the manufacture in this condition.The more I ride it ,the more I seem to be able to put the sound out of my mind and that shouldn't be.I ride for the total experience,not to tune out an important part of it.
If I had it to do over I would not purchase this bike again.I can only hope that my first visit to a dealer takes care of the problem.If not Craigslist/Ebay here I come!!!!
Thanks for listening.........could you hear me whine over the whining????????????
