2018 YAMAHA STAR VENTURE FOR SALE IN SOUTH DAKOTA FULL

Read our full review of the Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited. For the 2020 model year, H-D pumped up the price with a $28,299 sticker on the basic black model and a whopping $32,399 tag on the top-shelf paint packages, so anyone sitting on the fence has a bigger incentive to go Yamaha. Pricing is on-point for the market and Yamaha squeaks in a win with a $26,999 sticker. Yamaha also did a good job making the engine aesthetically pleasing, another critical point because it ain't enough to just be powerful, one has to look good whilst doing it. Not a big difference and I dare anyone to tell the difference on the ol' heinie-dyno, especially given that both weigh in at half-a-ton wet. Harley powers its entry with the Twin-Cooled Milwaukee-Eight 114 for a slight displacement advantage versus the 113 cubic-inch Yamaha, but the torque numbers fall short with Yammy on top at 126 pound-feet, and Harley bringing up the rear with 122 pound-feet. If you look at the accessories, H-D gains an edge in the ABS department with its Reflex Defensive Rider System that adds a lean-sensitive element to its anti-lock system, though it'll set you back another grand at the checkout. Both have their own ABS with electronically linked and balanced brakes on board, so neither bike in particular gains an upper hand here. The chassis are as similar as the looks with both running preload-adjustable shocks with fixed-value front forks, even though Harley availed itself of Showa's Dual Bending Valve shocks for a better-than-vanilla ride. Yammy nailed the look pretty well with a classic, if chunky, overall panache and I'm hard pressed to pick between the two, though that's mainly 'cause I don't like the fixed fairing on either one. The Venture carries sportscar-like scoops up front, but the H-D actually mounts fairing lowers on the engine guard for even more rider protection. The tour-pack, saddlebags, and in-fairing storage totals 37.3 gallons with the option of expanding that up to 38 gallons, so there is no shortage of dry storage for touring or at least some serious grocery runs.īoth carry shark-nose fairings (of which I am not a fan) with windshields and adjustable deflectors/vents to tweak conditions in the rider's bubble. You even get another pair of speakers, you know, just in case the stock system ain't enough. Everything but the kitchen sink as far as that sort of thing goes.

Part of the Transcontinental Option Package – which comes standard for 2021 – includes, but isn't limited to, an upgrade to the infotainment system, namely the addition of a CB radio, SiriusXM, satellite weather, and GPS.

A tire-pressure monitor joins the standard package for a nice bit of safety, convenience, and peace of mind.

The standard kit comes with a 7-inch, LCD-touchscreen display with all the usual pocket-jukebox compatibilities to include USB and Bluetooth to go with the ubiquitous AM/FM receiver. Yamaha really steps up to the top rung with its infotainment suite. Even the passenger gets some flexibility with the two-position, adjustable footboards, and who wouldn't love a 17-inch wide, adjustable backrest? Best of all, both seats, the handgrips, and the backrest come heated as part of the standard equipment package, so you already get that bit of luxury at all your points of contact.

The 27.4-inch seat height, on the other hand, will accommodate all but the shortest of riders.
