Re: New Tourer announced today
That Venture is as much a cruiser as is a Gold Wing. At 900+ lbs maybe even more so.

don't think your going to need to add much it's got everything already
If Honda built a bike with automatic self-cancelling Bluetooth cruise control and everything else people have been saying should be on the next ST for the last 14 years, you'd get a big, expensive, 900-pound bike.But IMO it's too big, heavy, and pricey.
957-963 pounds for the Yamaha and 904-933 for the Honda. Either makes the 730-pound ST svelte by comparison, doesn't it?How does the Venture weight (900 lbs.) compare to the new Goldwing ??
I gotta admit as much of a Honda fanboy as I am if a tourer was on my radar (and there was room for one) that Venture would at least get a test ride before buying a Wing. It's really sharp lookin'.I'm at americade and it's here and it's pretty and big do t think your going to need to add much it's got
everything already
No they make the ST look nearly anorexic.Either makes the 730-pound ST svelte by comparison, doesn't it?
Do not try the Scrambler. Terrible bike. If you get the third bike try something else. One of my of manchild's friends rode at our demoHEY LOOK
I got to sit on one of these beasts today, play with the switches, activate the forward and backward parking assist. It is a big bike and I am not a large person. At 5’6″ with a 26″ inseam I was surprised at how easy it was to throw my leg over the seat, I was able to heft it off the sidestand without getting a hernia, and was able to sit on the seat and flat foot it on both sides. That was amazing. It is a large motorcycle. Ergos felt good and the driver floorboards are long, the seat felt good. I imagine there will be people that will love this bike. Not my style though.
Saturday I will be attending Yamaha demo days and will be riding an FZ-10 and an FJR and probably a Bolt Scrambler ( you are allowed to ride 3).
They are more my style.(standards).
