1984 Yamaha XVZ1300D Venture Royale review from United States of America
"Not a bad touring bike for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Seat was worn and split.
Trunk and saddle bags cracked.
Gear shifter was loose and worn.
General comments?
The bike handled good and had plenty of power.
Compared to my current bike (1994 Honda Goldwing GL1500), the frame of the Venture Royale was not very sturdy, especially when carrying a passenger.
