Own and love this bike ,to raise and lower the wind screen push the buttons on the tank in front of you easy , tons of power , smooth , 2,700 rpms at 80 mph, awesome handling, worth every cent I payed, GPS radio etc , the sound is incredible ! This bike doesn't need to rev over 4500 rpms it has incredible low-end power!
"So pressing home will take you through various things..." That's really the trick to this NAV. It's not great, but it works... though I feel like that's the case for almost every factory head unit on any vehicle. Put 3500 miles on my Star Venture in the last month, and I'm still learning new things about the infotainment system.
Hey there Keith. Had the bike your ride on order for four months last year. Got yanked around by dealer & manufacturer. Took my down payment and went and bought a '17 Roadmaster. No regrets!! Love the Roadmaster. We've been down here in SC for 11 months now. All the riding we've done, haven't seen one Venture on the road. Makes me wonder how well they're selling. Take care and ride safe my friend.

Excellent review! What's the top speed? How is passing from 80 mph on? Wyoming Interstate speed limits are 80mph & lots of big rigs to pass.
Thanks for the comments. I didn't get it up past 65. but with 6th gear being an overdrive I don't imagine it would have any trouble going 80 plus.
I don't think I'd be passing anybody at 80 mph riding two-up, lol.
I pass semis on I-80 all the time on my 2nd gen RSV. Looking to get the new Star Venture soon
Nice real user review.
What does it redline at? And how many rpm's would it be turning at 70-80mph for interstate traveling?
Redline is 4750. I only was hitting it in first gear.
When I was going 60 in fifth it was turning about 2600 rpm.
Yamaha advertises 6th gear, 2500 rpm, 75mph
That Yamaha dealer seems to have gone ahamay. Wassup widdat?
From what I hear the father retired and the son didn't want to run the dealership.
Nice bike, but it shouldn't cost so much!
You don’t know what you are doing. To go back to GPS just press home button twice.
Well it was the first and only time I had ridden the bike.
@@keithert Hey, I've had one for a year and I'm still learning, lol.
