My girl wanted a more comfortable seat than the Yamaha Vstar we currently have. It’s heavy but all in all a great bike. First one I’ve ever had with a stereo and I’m loving it.

      It’s a 2011 Yamaha Royal Star Venture. Just got it this week. 13,000 miles on it. Like Botzo said it goes close to 900lbs wet then add two people yeah that’s a lot of weight going down the road. No ABS. I’m not a fan of nannies but in this case kind of a shame.

      I forgot cc. It’s 1294 V4. The V4 was DEFF a selling point over other bikes for me. It’s torqey and smooth.

      I make that to be a Yamaha royal star venture. 2010ish? 1300cc, 870lbs wet (394kg).

      Let’s see if I can invoke Cunningham’s Law.
