    yes, this was a demo event in Belleville NJ, last month. I think the Venture is supposed to be first available in December, the Eluder in January

    here's a riding video someone else took at the same demo event:

    He liked the bike. Despite its aggressive look and list of features, after seeing it up close and riding it I thought it was "just another motorcycle". If I were to get another V-Twin, I would get another Harley. I demo'd a Street Glide with the new Milwaukee-8 motor last year and it had better acceleration and a nice, lively feel. Plus the Harley has an oil cooled cylinder head. I currently own a Street Glide (103 HO Twin Cam), and I consider the Yamaha a step down in terms of quality and a step backwards in terms of motor development.

    Going to a be "tough sell" in the market place unless your a die-hard Yamaha fan...This thing is very heavy, slow, and using air-cooled technology in a more up-dated era...Nice looking and probably well built, but in my humble opinion, not in the league of the new Goldwing or BMW1600B....Who knows, "only the shadow knows"....Personally I would buy the Indian Chieftain if I were in the market for a different style/type of bike...I know it is a large V-Twin , but they ride nice, handle great, look good and what I need a bike to do....I might, although, take a long hard look at the new GoldWing Tour as it is about 80/90lbs. lighter than the 2017....Spring will come soon, I hope and then I will start "kicking some tires" as they say...Ride safe

    Looks really dated, if you are going to compete in the market you need to stand out
