Yamaha Venture vs nomad (Ultra nomad)
The Venture is a very nice bike. It came out in '99 and is pretty much exactly the same now. The Venture I rode at Biketoberfest seemed a bit lacking in grunt but sometimes the demo bikes get a bit ragged out. Very comfy and bullet-proof reliable. If I knew how much time, money and work I was going to end up putting into my Nomad I may have just bought a Venture or a Glide instead - but the Nomad has come along well! :) Now to install that J&M CB....

Yamaha Venture vs nomad (Ultra nomad)
i have owned both. the venture is in a different class. it is a full blown touring bike. they are tall and top heavy. they have frame flex, and wallow in the curves when pushed hard. they don't have alot of lowend torque so you have to shift alot, and keep the rev's up. they are great on the super slab and very comfortable. the chirp is annoying as hell, but it varies with the bike. mine was loud. they are almost up with the wing on reliability. very good looking bike in my opinion. if i traveled long distances two up, it would be the venture i would want. all around riding and short trips it would be the nomad.

When I was still shopping in 07, it was between the Venture and the Nomad. What turned me off on the Venture was the fact that in had heated carbs. ::)
I'm glad I decided on the Nomad.

That's all... no big deal. I am not sensitive to the issue myself. I could give a crap where HD's are made. I think Japan can make great products. Maybe they couldn't 30-years ago, but that isn't so these days. ;) We cool?

It's no different than Toyota building cars in the USA to beat the import regulations.

Point exactly CJ... however some would like dwell on it... ;)
Get over it, I say. What isn't made in China, Japan, and etc. Heck, if we didn't import products at the price we do, we couldn't afford anything. Now that I said that... (just wait for the sh*t-storm to hit now)!

Yamaha Venture vs nomad (Ultra nomad)
I own both,The Nomad with Fairing and Trunk
around town Nomad On interstate Venture Technology Venture has carbs and a cassette player but has a V4, built in stereo, and cruise control Venture has more room for a passenger in my case it seems like about 3 more inchs Looks goes to the Nomad Top end speed and interstate running Venture I just went on a 2400 mile trip on the Venture, the comfort level for it vs the Nomad was significant. B But if I was going on a poker run, bar hopping or an afternoon drive It would be the Nomad,, a week trip no question the Venture. I love both of them for different reasons |
