FOR SALE: 1984 YAMAHA VENTURE XVZ 1200: GREAT TOURING BIKEI AM SELLING THE BIKE BECAUSE I AM NO LONGER RIDING. THESE ARE BIG. FAST. HEAVYROAD BIKES SO PLS TAKE THAT INTO YOUR CONSIDERATION WHEN BIDDING . NORMALLY RECOMMENDED FOR EXPERIENCED RIDERThis is a very nice riding bike. looks great. runs great. has been well taken care of. The paint is (2) years old. the battery is (2) years old. the bike has new stainless steel brake lines. /p>has had the oil changed (1) year ago. nbsp; has an almost new rear tire (560 miles) I am giving the new owner a very good condition black leather jacket with the bike. if wanted. size (r) about 42-46. I am guessing. also I will giving the Yamaha Venture owners manual. and Yamaha Venture OWNERSC. D. I would have no use for it when the bike sells so it only makes sense to me. This bike is a really good riding motorcycle and has the power to go anywhere. This bike has been all over the U. S. AND CANADA with no trouble. ever. The bike has the (1) quirk that almost all these bike get is that it will "skip" in 2nd gear if a lotof power is applied instantly. Under normal conditions you never notice it. but if you really get on itwith the throttle. it will skip the gear. but when that happens I just shift to third and away you go as if nothing ever happened. I have heard that it really isn't worth the effort to fix it because the bike runs just fine on the road. This would be a great bike for someone to get started with road riding experience before spending thousands of $$$$$$and finding out that you really don't like that type of riding. FYI. The bike is not plated or insured this year yet so it cannot be ridden on the road legally. BIKE IS SOLD "AS IS. WHERE IS" WITH NO WARRANTY/GUARANTEE. IMPLIED. I will require 72 hrs notice before any inspection The bike will also not leave until all payment(s) are cleared by me or my bank. period. THE BIKE IS ALSO ADVERTISED LOCALLY SO THE SALE MAY END EARLY
