Hi All,

I've been lurking for some time and reading a lot of good info. here and at gadgets site too. I currently ride a Suzuki VL-800. It's a great bike for back and forth to work but when I head to Montgomery for Drill or worse, Florence to see my son at college it is quite painfull. I'm looking at the Royal Star Venture and the Nomad. I was really leaning toward the Venture due to the fairing untill I found the links to different fairings for good prices. Now I'm not so sure about the Venture for @ 5K more. I would like to hear thoughts from you guys, especially if you've ever owned a Venture to compare. I'm 6'3" @ 240# for ref.

God Bless America,

Mark
