At this price, why would it not be liquid cooled?
Hi Jessee - great question. We encourage you to read the first part of our review where we specifically answer that question:
Yamaha Star Venture Review Part 1: www.ridersdomain.com/magazine/motorcycles/reviews/2018-yamaha-star-venture-review-part-1/
Good article. They're supposed to have test rides at an event in my city in August. I'm planning on taking one.
I'd say it is because they already have one of the best air cooled engines with all the power it needs.
Jessee Michael dos it need to be liqued cooled?
It also needs periodic valve adjustments. No thanks.
Wow - wow - wow! One of the most beautiful and interesting designs ever made! And definitely best looking bike made recently. Nothing else even comes close. An era of state of art designs is finally coming? Hopefully!
Its about time they bring the venture cruiser back.i had an 83 2 tone gold venture royal.loved that bike
very nicely done and about time.
Got myself one and love it!
So, would have appreciated the exhaust note soundtrack while talking about it (strait off of some article).
ADAM!! Very cool that you are among the first to see this baby up close. I am guessing that you did not get to ride it yet... or did you? If so you MUST give us your impressions. I watched the reveal on a live stream from Americade and my gut reaction was favorable.
I think the styling is very nice and well thought out. It's just the right balance between classic and modern. It is bigger than I thought it might be, but it still looks like it will be OK to manage. They were smart to keep the big trunk down low. The feature set speaks for itself and has everything a long distance rider could want for burning up the miles on the open road. The saddle looks incredibly comfortable, and I really like the touches they built in for the passenger. Fuel economy, though a little disappointing at first glance is not so bad when you consider that 210 miles is pretty much the minimum range one can achieve from a tank of fuel, so I am not going to complain!
I am eager to go see and ride this bike as soon as it is available to do so. as a current Vision owner this is what we were all asking for from Polaris before those fools sold out and put their money on their version of Indian. I would take this new bike over the Roadmaster any day of the week. Well done, Yamaha!
Like it! Might even get one as a first starter bike
As usual we get a really nice looking bike from Yamaha.
WOW this bike looks awesome. I'm a long time Harley purist but this is one sexy beast! Good Job Yamaha!
It looks very nice is it heavy?
Im so damn impressed.... great bike from yamaha.....
It's a neat take on big V-Twin touring for sure!
Tuned the sound of the exhaust?
Great front look
that is an amazing looking machine
Is this bike going to demo at Thunder in the Valley in Johnstown PA later this month? I'd kill to ride it!
woow it so amazing thanks to yamaha company i will love to have one
can you remove the top box when not using it?
That's badass...If Pontiac made a bike I think that's what it would look like. I'd love to see that dressed up like a bandit addition Trans Am.
This comment made us laugh - We agree - you can see some old school Pontiac styling DNA in there! lol.
Best new Bike release for this year. Can''t wait to get our hands on it for a test drive. Some of our members own Yamaha Raiders. Amazing bikes for long rides.
Will it get hot though? Since it's aircooled or no?
should not over heat unless sitting in traffic (not moving ) with outside air temperature of over 95 degrees. it appears they upgraded oil cooling system from the former stratoliner set up.
jack Blanco oh I see
Where did the cassette player on the dashboard go?
I so much love this bike, please how much does it go for? And how can it gets to me in Nigeria? Thanks...
Still disappointed it doesn't have lazor guided missile launchers in there accessories brochure. lol
Give them time. Those take a little while longer to develop!
you mean import :O)
Honestly I so much love this Yamaha bike. But how much does it go for? And how can it get me in Nigeria if I happen buy? Thanks....
Awesome bike
Beautiful
Masterpiece!
Beautiful front end and so much personality.
Agreed - looks very nice.
957 pounds - that's a lot of bike!!
34mpg's suck...
You don't know much about motorcycles do you.....
Spare me with your lack of knowledge. My last vision was 41mpg. Harleys are a between 41-43. Lose the ignorance
weljo2001 I do I have Yamaha Viragos that heavy that bike only for the Rich old people
We were surprised with its curb weight as well -- especially for an air-cooled Twin.
I like this bike. Will they be selling this in the UK?
Great looking bike, and for the guys that like the big twin touring rigs this is another great choice. One of the features that many comfort and control seeking riders now seem to want is 'dynamic' suspension...(suspension that automatically adjusts to road conditions as you ride). I don't see any mention of that on this bike, which makes me wonder if Yamaha didn't think it important or desirable for some reason. Their FJ1300 hundred has it as an option, but no mention of it for this bike. I have to say I think at this price point it should have been included, or at least as an option. It wouldn't keep me from considering this bike however as it's that nice of a total package as is.
and a drive shaft?
Nice looking cycle, but not one of my favorites! I got to ride the STRATOLINER DELUXE a few years ago, and I fell in love with that bike! I really wish YAMAHA still made the STRATOLINER DELUXE! Beautiful sounding motor...and RELIABLE AS HELL!!!
Does it sound as good as a Harley?
I will own one some day.
I will take 4 of them.
LOL!! That's the spirit!
Jojo Crazy Cat why not 7.one of a different color for each day of the week 😛
Jojo Crazy Cat you may have mine as well
I want a purple one..
The Front End Looks Like A 1971 Hemi Cuda Muscle Car.
Sexy ! Ain't it ?
Damn, that's it! That's the front end off my CM Chrysler Valiant.
Nice job - we talked to the Yamaha project leader on this bike, and he said that car served as inspiration in this design.
Opel manta A
That's a good looking bike, with a modern engine. Will it sway me from my Wing? I dunno, but it's something to think about.
Lol - thanks for the comment. Well said. We will be test riding the Star Venture here in two weeks so stay tuned for the review. We have plenty of seat time aboard the current Gold Wing so it will be a worthy read.
Give her Hell, dude! And I know that you will, so I am very much looking forward to the ride report.
bamadoctj I had the xvz venture 1200 for 3 years..loved it but when I bought my 1500 cherry apple wing it was a love affair that still lasts to this day....l had a triste with a honda valkirie for 2 years toured europe etc...but always reverted to my wings of which I've had 3...yammy good
.but wing incomparable. ..
I sold my 86 and 89 Venture Royales, still have two 85's. Owned a Star 1300 Tourer, not bad, but never outstanding, but i loved my 89 Venture! I would buy this new one except for one thing, I'm not fond of v twins, Ventures must be four cylinder. Plus i own several older Goldwings, you cannot beat a boxer flat six and reverse gear!
Haha wow, never thought they'd take this direction. I think it's a little too showy for it's intended age group, but what do I know lol?
MotoBoy maybe trying to make something thats sexy to pull older sport tourer riders over to the darkside??? I know its not sporty by any chance, but thus bike does have look. rear tire is exposed, plus the mean looking face, the way its angled iS sick.
also maybe trying to pick up some of the Victory fan base that wont take the leap over to indian??? Victory Vision look like something out of a batman movie, but that big V-twin still lured them in eh?
was expecting VMAX power like usual for a venture
I really wish they would have used a water cooled V4 engine based on the current Vmax.
Great lookin bike.
The for some reason it reminds me of one of the characters in Transformers, don't remember which one... but just on looks I would buy that sucker!!
It looks like super robot 28.
1300cc version when?
How do you use the touch screen with gloves on?
Not sure - but it works as advertised!
you can watch youtube while riding that bike?
Haha - not as of yet!
Nice bike
Old R1, Honda Goldwing, Harley CVO, Victory blending to be this bike
Impressive bike. The old venture/royals were great bikes. My folks put a lot of trouble free miles on one and we still see a few around. I'm surprised by the weight and air cooling but I'm sure Yamaha has a vague idea what they are doing. Seems some form of water cooling is necessary to meet emission standards these days. I just wonder, at 25K, what residual value will be left after a couple years of riding?
That's a good point. It's well known that Japanese bikes don't hold their value very well for some reason. Although a Wing is probably the exception to that rule.
That new aircooled V-twin engine is a big step backwards. They should've kept the liquid cooled naturally aspirated V-Four engine of yesteryear. The venture from back then was a fire breathing high performance touring beast that could kick any cars ass in a stoplight drag race. It shared the same engine with the mighty
V-MAX.
oky banget gan
Good this segment needs the competition. Honda hasn't done anything with the goldwing for a while! Time for an upgrade!
How much fuel does it hold ?
6.5 us gallons
Pretty cool car. Just weird nobody noticed they forgot a pair of wheels...
does anyone know whether or not the bike has passed euro4 emissions test? I do plan to buy this bike if it will be on market in europe..
+Mehmet Ali AVCI good question - this motorcycle will only be for sale in the US and Canada for MY2018.
Riders Domain :(
Tac redlines at 5000?
A7madTSH It's more then 1.8 Liters of V-Twin there'd only so much rev's an engine that large can take or even needs lol.
I see a lot of people are commenting about the air cooling. what's the disadvantage and why is water cooler better? just want to know.
Air cooled puts off a lot of heat to the rider, liquid cooled doesn't. In California air cooled is fine as you can lane-split to keep air moving. In other states you'll have to swelter in stopped traffic.
QuickScopes2009 Sit in Houston traffic on August afternoon and watch a few Harleys on the side of the road. For all the luxury items these not just HD bikes have I dont see how any bike more than 700lbs can not have a liquid cooled fan blown engine. Maybe up North or Alaska but the Gulf Coast heat and humidity is brutal on all vehicles. Best case scenario it wont stall from overheating but after 70k what kind of engine wear /damage will it have vs a liquid cooled motor same miles ?
My Yamaha Bolt is air cooled :/ i hope it will be fine.
You should be fine. I have a 2002 Yamaha V-Star 1100 that's air cooled and it has 105,000 miles and counting without a single engine problem.
Thanks for the info!
K1600 much?
A little disappointed they didn't jam the V4 from the current generation V-Max in this bike, it doesn't make quite as much torque as this big twin, but I'm sure with some cam tweaks and a different exhaust they could have traded some top-end for more mid and low range torque. Then again, Harley did an amazing job smoothing out the new Milwaukee Eight for their touring line, so I imagine Yamaha can do at least as good of a job if not better.
Beautiful bike; it should sell well. But I have to wonder why it's still air cooled and time will tell if the drivers legs are cooked or not. Weight is no big deal; - my Wing loaded up weighs 1005 lbs (measured) yet handles like a bicycle at speed. Regardless, this one is a winner for sure. Whether it knocks the Wing or the BMW off their perches is quite another matter.
It's an OHV with 4 Valves Per Cylinder? How the hell does that work?
People always talking trash about Harley Davidson but every bike builder build bikes to resemble Harleys Davidson's. I have owned 4 Harleys and never had one that leaked oil or broke down on me. l ride a 2014 Street Glide now and would put next to any Japanese bike any day. So comparing this bike to Harley is not in the same category.
IS THE TRUNK REMOVABLE?!
No sir - it is not.
The crowd will tend to go to honda or BMW they have water cooled bikes. I like this engine but its to much weight for this engine.
wow very ñicę bike
Adam is that you?
Verygood
Indeed this bike is way too heavy...riders, even the experienced ones like me, will not favor this fact in the long run! I think some people should hold off on purchasing the 2018 model because despite the fact that it is a great looking bike, there is a lot of room for improvement and Yamaha will probably pickup on these enhancements in future models. One thing for sure, air-cooling is a drag!
Shouldn't talk shit until you're ridden one. This bike handles nicely in spite of its girth.
This bike is a dream to ride ,air cooling no is problem for this bike ,the weight is no problem im 5 ' 7" have no problem handling this bike even with a passenger on!
is this Adams stolen video?
Hi Jayden - this is our official video that was published here first on Riders Domain.
Good ...
957 lbs.... any reverse gear???
Hi yes, it has Yamaha's Sure-Park system. Read about it in the description link.
Yamaha 👍👍
Beautiful but I want it
I bet when the yamaha executives saw the the Goldwing, they started smiling. Im think this venture will take the Goldwings place. Honda made the new Goldwing for motocyle jounalist, most of which were sport bike riders. Very few of them will be buying a wing, Honda just slipped. Thankfully Yamaha has taken the reigns and is providing us a bike that we actually want.
The SHOULD have stuck the VMAX engine on that puppy. 180+HP touring bike would have sold like crazy.
the face kinda reminds me of Honda's 600 XD
If it comes in below $15,000 I can see these things going to people who are otherwise fans of Goldwings, BMW amd HD touring bikes. Just hard to ignore a good value. I hope this bike doesn’t try to compete with HD amd Honda when it comes to price unless it’s thousands cheaper.
pasti mahal nih
They had to re-tool for this engine when they should have built the platform around the mighty 1680cc V4.
Top pena que esta fora da realidade do Brasil
113ci in proper units of measurement is 1850cc.
It is 1854cc to be exact. You can read the specifications within the written article.
nice yamaha
just missing liquid cooling system so it could protect that engine in hot weather conditions. I didn't like the older 1294cc engines.
nice bike 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
That is a good looking bike. It looks mean.
between this & the honda goldwing , I don't thing Harley Davidson saw this coming. 😱 how unpredictable.
WICKEDLEE LOOPY and I don't think they care.
aí já acho melhor um carro...
Wait 2yrs and it will come out liquid cooled. If the are smart they should get the ball rolling on aftermarket parts fast it's the only thing keeping Harleys on top
I like bikes but 430 kg of weight plus luggage is too much to handle when it flips from side stand on the curb of the road while you are taking a leak.Driving a small cabrio is the same or maybe even better.
cool, but its got nothing on the goldwing tbh
I like it. cant afford one... but I'd much rather see a striped down version. not wit all the Gps touch screen tech. dump the trunk pack and that be something to see.
Air cooled ... nice in warm country's when you have yo wait on a traffic light.
Blokkeerfietser All bikes throw off heat in traffic Willis.
All I can say is wow!
Certainly competes with Gold Wing. But IMO Harley Davidson will lose even more market share again. It's true innovations like this that make customers change brand loyalty.
Now if Yamaha comes out with a bagger version of this new bike.
Way to go Yamaha!
JusticeAA respectfully you don't know what your talking about, and doubt you even bothered looking up it's feature list.
ABS , Traction control , cruise control, linked brakes , heated everything ,parking assist in forward and reverse, only thing i dont like about it is it has a v twin ohv air cooled engine ,
tolles bike, aber es fehlen 4 Zylinder !!!
Battle Ship
strictly my opinion. bike should have been water cooled. it shouldn't have been vtwin but any other configuration with more cylinders
besides the screen, the dash(tachometers) look like there from Toyota lol
The two hundred and some who don't like this are people who think HD is number one. Little do they know
HD doesn't have it any more.
