The Royal Star Venture is kind of more like an Electra Glide, in that it's a full-dress cruiser.

The Venture was closer to a Goldwing, with a standard seating position and (if I remember correctly) a V4 powerplant rather than a V twin.


It seems like Yamaha (in that instance, anyway) sort of used the Venture moniker in the same way that Honda used the Interstate nameplate (with regard to the Goldwing and later, the Valkyrie).
RSV is also a 1300 V-4.  The engine carried over from the Venture so the name was carried forward too.  Both nice bikes. I was looking at RSVs before we stumbled onto the LT.  If they ever update the engine with fuel injection, it will be even better!
