She said this is the last one...for now

I was just looking, really. While looking through the for sale adds, I came across this nice looking bike a Black 83 Yamaha Venture but they were asking waaay to much for it $3000 but the last line of the add said "Willing to trade for a working car for equal value." I just happend to have a car that I was trying to sell a 98 Oldsmobile Aurora that my wife and I do not like. (We only paid $400 for the Aurora) So we go look at the bike and found it to be a good bike but more in the $1800 range. So after taking test rides and drives we agreed to swap vehicles. So I got a nice cruising bike for long rides and to ride while I rebuild the two that I have in pieces. I got some pictures but the bike is black and its dark out so you cant see it very well.






I do need to replace the tires and take of the lower light bar (scraped it 3 times on the ride home in the turns. 
But overall I got a decent bile for $400.

those old ventures are are nice bikes but second gear seems to go bad   in all of them

I know exactly how you feel. After putting 3000 miles on mine this summer, it is a real keeper! 2nd gear is only an issue if you treat them badly, just like our Nighthawks.

Enjoy the new ride!

Definitely got your money's worth.  Does that bike use the V-Max motor?

Yes, the Venture and the Vmax share the same powerplant, detuned for reliability and handling in the Venture.

Enjoy!
