    With the NEW 2018 Goldwing .... Not sure how well this 2018 Yamaha will sell (prices are supposedly comparable with a new Harley Davidson)



    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

    I took a demo ride on the Eluder and Venture, and was unimpressed with the performance, which I thought was anemic. The motor is quiet and smooth at idle/cruise but it's got a thumpity thump on acceleration which just stands out and doesn't seem to fit. Also, I was disappointed by the quality of the plastic parts. The bag lids were hard to open up (with the button) and they did not seem well seated or sealed in the closed position. I will try to attach some pictures

    OK, I re-posted the pictures in the off-topic section, there is a link to a Flickr album, hopefully that works.
