Its a really nice bike but also really expensive. It is just outside of what I can afford without selling everything else so I ended up getting a Multistrada. I'll take the white one, thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my Ducati's as a twin but don't forget about the V-4 Desmosedici RR. You can already own an exotic V-4 Duc if you can afford the price of entry.

If you want a real V4 exotic, get thee a NR750 oval piston Honda (RC40)! Hey, there's always a Vmax, or a RoyalStar for if you need a cheep V4 fix!

I've seen a lot of Yamaha ventures on CL for fucking peanuts. Like $800. Too bad they're ugly as fuck. Look even worse stripped down.

But top heavy as hell and this annoying whine in the tranny. Bad bevel on the gears. New big tourer this summer from Yammie. Very modern inline 4 built almost totally on biker feedback. There are some leaked blurry pics out there. Looks like the are going after the Goldwing crowd. They might get me in a year or two if they nail it.

That's true but you gotta figure that Motus MSTR is $37K before fees/tax. You ain't getting that off the showroom for under $40K If you asked me to buy a new Motus or a 9 year old Desmosedici for roughly the same price I would buy the Ducati any day. Not that I can afford either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of the ventures I've seen have 2nd gear blown out. Typical Yamaha. I'm interested to see this i4 touring bike tho. The goldwing crowd is a hard nut to crack, those guys exemplify brand loyalty.

It is the same essential bike with a few minor upgrades since 2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with the Venture/Royal Star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are a lot of options. The line kind of looks like this: S - entry level 700ish, lots of options and ergonomic choices. 900 Custom and Classic 1700 Vaquero 1 up sporty looking cruiser/touring bike. Basically the Voyager without the rear trunk and some sleek styling. 1700 Voyager Touring. The Nomad is gone, and it leaves a really big hole. It was a nice big cruiser without all the added stuff that mine or the Vaq has. Really surprised they axed it. I had one before this. Love both of them, I have 55K on my Voyager, it eats miles and if you can ride you can still hammer the twisties a bit. But it is big and heavy, it isn't a sport bike. Price on their stuff is certainly right my bike was just under 16K with ABS, a similar Harley would have been mid 20's and would be wore out by now. Got an easy 100K left in this bike with out any major issues. You are not far away, I am in Seven Hills. You are welcome to look at it any time.
