Along with my 2005 RSV, I also own and ride a 2005 C90T. I replaced the factory seats with Suzuki Pillow Top seats, added a driver backrest and replaced the factory exhaust with a set of mild Cobra pipes. I had been riding the Venture so long that I had forgot how much fun the C90 was to ride. It has great pick up, is light(er) and has quick response on the throttle and steering. I always take the RSV when out with the wife but still enjoy tooling around on the Suzuki. I've taken the C90 on a few short trips (200 miles or less). The VL1500 performed like a charm. The wife's bum got a bit sore but all in all...a great bike!
