2008 Yamaha Royal Star Venture REVIEW
Great Bike

Review: I bought my 2008 Venture in may 2008, What a great
bike. It is now November 2008 and I have put 8000
miles on it. No problems and will ride it
anywhere. I have never rode a bike this
comfortable or reliable. You can't go wrong. Will
beat the heck out of a HD electa glide. Looks
better than a gold wing. Features: The cruise control. Weird though, It won't engage at speeds higher than 80 mph. Designed that way. Improvements: The rear tire tends to wear out fast, I am 250 lbs but would like to get a little more mileage from the tire (tend to last 4 to 5 thousand miles)
A quick release on the trunk. (11/08/2008 by Jeff Lynch)

Review: Have owned a leftover 06 Tour Deluxe Midnight for
4 months and have almost 2500 miles on it. This
bike is super comfortable and has a LOT more guts
than I do. Bought this bike for less than 10k
(never titled) and am wondering when somebody is
going to figure out they made a mistake in selling
it so cheap and come looking for the rest of their
money. The Midnight Tour Deluxe is a good
looking, HIGHLY dependable motorcycle. Would
recommend anybody to this bike. It is a sheer joy
to ride. Average 42 mpg, no matter how hard I ride
it and it runs the best at 80 mph. The cruise
control is effortless and the ride is
incomparable. Features: Fast, fast, fast and twice as comfortable. Ride height is perfect (I am 6 feet tall). Some reviews claim the windshield is too tall, but for me it is perfect. I initially bought this bike because of the cheap price point, but now I doubt if I will ever ride anything else. 500 mile days are a breeze Improvements: none........at all.........ever.......well ok, maybe more of that V4 power.....but at almost 100 hp......it will get you in trouble REAL quick (08/15/2008 by Matt)

Review: I have and ridden Gold Wing for the past 18
years,my was an 81 in 1990 & my first new Gold
Ging an 89 in 1991,left over stock for $iok.the
Wing was great,but I discovered the 2008 Royal
Star Sentures S we bought 7-3-08 is a greater and
under estimated ride.We really love and enjoy the
2008 Royal Star Venture S a lot better,have 5500
great trouble free miles on it.With a ride like
this we will not go back to the Gold Wing,we both
agree, Mama is very happy, and you know what they
say about mama being happy.We really believe this
motorcycle should be a lot more advertised or
promoted.Just try it,you'll be glad you did! Features: Looks Great,Great Looking Dash,Love the 5 year warranty,handles outstanding at low and road speeds.Seems to be more stable on the road.Just enough chrome to make it stand out to show it self off.plenty of front foot room,and plenty of back seat room for Mama.plenty of trunk & saddle bag storage for trips.Very comfortable.Pleny of power.It looks and sounds like a motorcycle should. Improvements: For safety - more lighting on rear,would like an ignition-fuel shut off relay if motorcycle leans over too far(say 45 degrees) (04/30/2009 by BILL & SUE WHITAKER)

Review: All our experiences have been nothing but positive
and love every minute we are out on it.We know
without a doubt in our minds we will have a great
outting.We only get to ride on the week end if
it's not stormy,Sue still has that 5 day a week
gig plus o.t.but we get out as much as we can.I
wish more people would try the ROYAL STAR VENTURE
S.Just try it,you'll like it.Love the cruise
control.Have nothing negative at all to say about
OUR PRIDE & JOY .Wouldn't think of owning anything
else now especially when it's perfect.I'll be 63
this 7-30 and plan to keep on riding as long as I
can,love it.No more Gold Wing for us after 18 yrs.
Features: LOOKS GREAT,MAKES YOU PROUD TO OWN IT WHEN YOU STOP & PEOPLE JUST STARE AT IT & ASK QUESTIONS. LOOKS LIKE A MOTORCYCLE,SOUNDS LIKE A MOTORCYCLE.WHAT ELSE CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THE GREATNESS OF (THE MASTER RIDE), THE YAMAHA ROYAL STAR VENTURE S Improvements: WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE LIGHTS ON REAR FOR MORE SAFETY AND FUEL/IGNITION SHUT OFF RELAY IN CASE OF OVER LEAN OF 45 DEGREES.NOTHING ELSE (04/30/2009 by Bill & Sue Whitaker Franklinton,N.C. 27525)
