Yamaha Other description
1985 Yamaha Venture Royale
Full dress touring motorcycle. The odometer shows 48,797 but there is only a little over 8,000 on the engine & transmission. The early Ventures would sometimes develop a problem with 2nd gear, this one did around 40,000 miles. At that time it was taken to a certified Yamaha mechanic for repairs. The mechanic was told, as long as it's all apart, to freshen the motor also.
I've owned it for almost 7 years and enjoyed every minute of riding it. But time is taking its' toll, on me! I'm 65 years old and have lost most of the cartillage in my left ankle. Getting on & off of it isn't as easy as it used to be, not to mention the task of backing it out of the garage.
Equipment;
It has a V-4, liquid cooled engine with shaft drive and a 5 speed transmission. The V-4 engine used in these is the same motor as used in the Yamaha V-Max. It has enough power to put a scare into even an experienced rider.
AM/FM-Cassette, which works perfect and sounds great. Automatically increases volume with speed.
Air-ride suspension with an on-board compressor.
Electronic, speed sensitive cruise control
Dual bucket seat with drivers backrest
On-board clock/stopwatch
Temp guage
Amp guage
Gas guage
Gear indicater
On-board computer that does a safety check upon startup.
Locking & removable Saddlebags and tourpack
Additional storage pouches behind drivers backrest, passengers seat, by passengers seat and both sides of fairng. There is also a locking storage compartment on the right side of the fairing.
The rear tire has about 500 miles on it, the front less than 100. And the oil & filter less than 100 also.
New starter last summer.
Comes with a new battery,
Includes a never used cover and a factory service manual.
And, there is an extra windshield. The original was too tall for my liking, so I bought a used one and cut it down.
Keep in mind, this is a 28 year old bike, and it does have some small blemishes. But you will have to look long & hard to find another one that has been as well cared for or meticulously maintained as this one.
I require a $200 Paypal deposit, (non-refundable) within 24 hours of auction end and the balance at time of pickup.

Yamaha FJR1300 will serve the law
Fri, 16 Feb 2018Truth be told, it will not be domestic motorcycle battalions that will receive it, but overseas cops. It is, perhaps, for the best. Yankees in police uniforms are tired of riding on cruisers - a patrol version of the Yamaha FJR1300 tourer, which is sold in the New World market, was specially developed for them.
