I sold my 2005 Venture so I could buy a 2009 Black Pearl Ultra. The RSV is a great bike, but I could never get past the gear noise. The Ultra, while there is some gear noise, is far more quite than the Yamaha! What a ride.

Bought a Venture way back in '83. Great bike. Switched to Harleys and will never look back. Congrats on the new scoot, you'll love it! Ride safe. Oh yeah, welcome to the boards, greatest place online. We'll spend your money for you though!
