Thats not to bad... I think I saw he had it at $3800 somewhere...

59K on that motor, does it have a proven track record for longevity?

A dealer told me that bike came with a 50k factory warranty. I have heard they are nice and smooth. Their used prices, that I have seen, tend to mirror the Nomad. I would agree the price is not bad at $3800.

That seems like a decent price, if not a tad high. Hey, it comes with a really neat 8-track player! (just joking, but I think it has a cassette player).

And no windscreen. That's odd.

I always liked the Venture... Speedomenter was a eye catcher. The 2000 millenium edition was gorgeous.

Just not sure how you keep putting a cassette player on a bike....

Bill those bikes come with a 5year unlimited mileage warranty, the best in the whole market. I had a 98 year model and it was a very good bike.

Thanks for correcting me goose. Now that you mention it, I seem to recall that. It has been awhile since I had talked to the dealer.

I would be very reluctant to buy any bike with that many miles. There are too many around that don't have the miles. I bought my stock 2006 Nomad in 2010 with barely 2,000 miles on the odometer for $6k. It has been a good bike, knock on wood.

Same warranty with any 1 or 2 year old (new) Victory.
