Tell us about it. Year, cc, weight?
I forgot cc. It's 1294 V4. The V4 was DEFF a selling point over other bikes for me. It's torqey and smooth.
Oh wow, a V4? I'm curious what that sounds like. That's a lot of bike. Does it have a reverse gear?
It's a 2011 Yamaha Royal Star Venture. Just got it this week. 13,000 miles on it. Like Botzo said it goes close to 900lbs wet then add two people yeah that's a lot of weight going down the road. No ABS. I'm not a fan of nannies but in this case kind of a shame.
I make that to be a Yamaha royal star venture. 2010ish? 1300cc, 870lbs wet (394kg).
Let's see if I can invoke Cunningham's Law.
