MUST BE SOLD ASAP......PRICE LOWERED.... Bike in Flushing Queens. I got a new bike coming in.
1983 Yamaha Venture Royal full touring classic, with tow package and matching pull behind trailer. Here is a true motorcycle classic.  Runs strong, starts right up, new battery last summer and has been tended all winter. This is a 30 year old bike. It's big, it heavy, it's comfortable as hell on the road. But it is 30 years old. I got it 2 years ago and planned on restoring, but time just got away from me. But I have been riding this bike, and it is fun to ride. Old time bike guys always stop to check it out, Its old, its a classic, and has lots of life left in her.
Issues: at end of last summer the speedometer cable broke while on a ride, caused the speedo needle to spin right off, as seen in pictures. Miles 51154 when this happened. I only put another 200 miles or less on it after that by end of last summer. The rear tires has a slow leak. The thermostat switch is not working: meaning that the fan doesn't turn on when temp goes up. However, what I did is hard wire a control switch to the fan. So when temp goes up, just switch the fan on, then temp goes down. Could use breaks, and a typical new season tune up.
Carbs where cleaned, jetted and synced last year. Leather is only 2 years old. Everything works, air suspension, radio, lights,etc.
If you put a few bucks onto it you'd have a classic machine. Or even if you parted, the plastics, bags, engine, air suspension system etc you can double or more you money or more easily. But I wouldn't do that. This bike is 30years old, but its strong, and can go for a long long time more.

Email me with contact info if interested. I will get back to you ASAP..........

Richard's '88 Tenere resto project

Tue, 18 Jan 2011

There’s a lot of it about at this time of year, brought on, no doubt, by excessive exposure over the Festive Season to the temptations of eBay. Buying old nails with a view to restoration, that is. Wilfing away over the New Year, I spotted for sale a bike that, when new, I really fancied.

Yamaha Reports 2013 Sales Results

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

Yamaha reported a 1.2% decrease in motorcycle sales in 2013 but managed to increase its net sales revenue by 16.2%, thanks in large part to the depreciation of the Japanese yen. According to the company’s 2013 fiscal report, Yamaha sold 6,014,000 motorcycles last year, down slightly from 6,090,000 sold in 2012. The good news however, is most of the sales decrease was limited to Thailand and Vietnam where the economy worsened in 2013, while Yamaha’s sales increased in nearly all other markets.
