GooglePay2008 Yamaha Royal Star Venture – Low Miles, Loaded, Road-Ready – Clean Title****VIN: JYAVP04EX8A014786 Price: $5,500 or best offer (half the cost of comparable touring bikes) Location: Eagle Mountain, Utah Clean title in hand
Engine & Drivetrain**• 1294cc Liquid-Cooled V4**
The Venture uses Yamaha’s legendary smooth V4 touring engine. This matters because:
Far smoother and quieter than a V-twin
Far less vibration on long trips
Broad powerband and effortless highway passing
Extremely long engine life
Proven reliability (same basic V4 lineage for decades)
• Carbureted — 4 carburetors, easy to service**• Liquid cooled****• Shaft driven** — No belt or chain maintenance • 5-speed transmission (broad torque curve makes 6th unnecessary)
This engine and drive are some of the primary reasons Venture owners keep them for decades. Only reason I'm selling is to cover the cost of repairs on our family GMC Yukon
OverviewIf you want a comfortable, reliable, full-dress touring bike without paying Harley or Honda prices, this Yamaha Royal Star Venture is one of the best values in the touring class. Always garaged, used only for trips (never a commuter), extremely well cared for, and ready today for cross-country travel.

5.9-gallon tank (≈200 miles range)

Comfort & Touring FeaturesFull windshield & adjustable fairings
Tons of luggage space

ConditionAlways stored in the garage

Why This Bike Beats Others in Its ClassCompared to Honda, Harley, and Indian touring bikes, the Venture offers:

7-foot smaller turning radius
2.6 inches narrower (easier maneuvering)
6 inches longer & more spacious
3.6-inch longer wheelbase = more stability
