Yamaha Other description

2005 Yamaha Venture , 2005 Yamaha Venture , 2005 Yamaha Royal Star Venture Mechanically and Cosmetically in great condition. Minor blemishes on fairing. In early August I took it on a 1350 mile trip including to the top of Mt. Washington...without a hiccup. Tires have less than 3000 miles on them, front & rear. The bike seems to have begun its life in California, then lived in Texas for a time before the the owner prior to me brought it to Virginia. I've owned it for two years and have put well over 10,000 trouble free miles on it. I purchased the bike with all the extras listed below, except the mirrors and cup holders. The extras include: Pulsing high beam light for daytime driving. Driving lights Lizard lights lighting up the engine for cruising at bike nights. Star Touring & Riding radiator cover Custom tank bib with leather sunglass box. Custom trunk bib Trunk top luggage rack Lighted trunk rail Trailer hitch with wiring harness Harley fin type mufflers (original mufflers included) Center stand, which is usable in spite of the 800 plus weight of the bike Shorty windshield included. I'm 6'3" and the short windscreen allows too much helmet buffeting at highway speeds. Removable saddle bag liners Chrome saddle bag guards Driver highway foot pegs Driver and Passenger drink holders Standard: It of course has the built in audio system for intercom, radio, tape player, CB, plus aux. port for XM or iPod. The plush seat cushions make hours of cross country riding as comfortable a sitting on a couch. Water cooled Shaft drive Air adjusted front and rear shocks Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping... however, personal air transportation, within a few hundred miles, to pick up the bike can be arranged for the cost of fuel. $7,500.00 $7,500.00

Filling a void with an RD350LC

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last winter I managed to fill a void in my life when I stumbled on a very reasonably priced Yamaha RD350LC.  It was a tad scruffy, had the wrong exhausts but most importantly it was blue and white with all numbers matching.  I had the usual euphoria when the deal was done but I underestimated how much pleasure this particular purchase would continue to deliver another eight months down the line. The difference with this old bike is, instead of just taking it for the occasional ride I was talked into doing a full nut and bolt restoration.  Having never taking a bike apart completely before, initially it was quite daunting but I soon found the RD is easy to work on so it turned into a truly satisfying experience.  I’ve had some help from LC enthusiasts with the rebuild, however, the stripping, sourcing and organising was a total labour of love.  And call me sad but it has made me bond with this bike like no other which only adds to the feel good factor.  The bike cost £1800 and I’ve spent around £1000 but I reckon my mint Elsie is now worth a fair bit more.   I fancy rejuvenating a Fizzy  next time but there’s lots of other cheap 70’s and 80’s winter projects  out there so why not have a go yourself?
