Hi friends, yesterday I made the final test with my Venture. Nacho, seems that you need to get away from your point of view, that you have the fastest Venture ;D ;D ;D ;D I made an "Autobahn" trip yesterday. The needle of the speedometer stopped in the middle of the "mph" All of us know, that the speedometer shows only 120 mph. So it must be around 150 mgh or 240 km ;D ;D ;D And the bike was stable - no fading - no spaghetti riding feeling. But my white giant tooked about 13 ltrs. on a 100 kilometer distance Ok, now I am looking for a passenger who takes a picture of the top speed - like to have a prooven speed My girl friend is afraid to do it. guess I need to ask my son - those V Max riders are quite strong. By the way, we made a measurement of the hp. It showed 141 hp. Can someone explain that to me ? As we tooked over the bike from the US, I have never tested the top speed and due to that lausy suspension I was afraid to test it, I just was wondering about the power that the bike had.

Mine is the fastest one in Spain. Didn't say anything about the rest of Europe.
But the thing is that mine does not go faster than 190 km/h but is able to beat many sport bikes in curvy roads. It is not the bike, IT IS THE BIKER!!!
Just kidding.
Drive safe, Rudy.
Regards to all,
Nacho.

Don`T worry, NAcho. I will drive safe. The Venture is not build at least for those topspeeds. But It was needed to make that test and I was really surprised ! And that`s for sure, it`sa not the bike - it`s the rider !

Noel, guess someone has to take my car to get that kind of action pic ;D ;D ;D After that ride "She" became the status of a strong "Male". ;D ;D ;D Now we try to find a new name for "Him". ;D ;D ;D

Yes Noel, that what I intend to do, put a graphic with the name on the bike. White Tiger is not bad - but it doesn`t give me the right kick. Heolp is appreciated

"der weiße Riese" denn nur was richtig sauber ist kann richtig glänzen "The White Giant" is that right & something to do with cleaning correctly.
