Decent lookin' Venturer. Even the older Corbin tour seat looks to be in decent condition.

81 Venturer

Not too bad, but has a few issues. Missing at least one tank emblem. Trunk and back rest are a bit worse for wear. Looks to have different mirrors. No mention of mileage. $1300 a little much for the condition? More pix may reveal more.

Looks like the tank emblem is there, just painted to match the tank. Not sure why folks do that, my first SH had that issue, PO painted all of the emblems black.

I believe all models prior to 1981 had screw-on tank emblems. The H had stick-on (adhesive backing) tank emblems. There is no excuse to paint over them. In my book, any actions of this nature push the value of the bike down. Old original paint is better than wrong new paint. No harm intended, but I don't see more than $900 for this one.

He has come down $200. Ad started at $1400 and is now $1200. Headed in the right direction.

yeah, I saw that. I may pick it up if it goes much further. I am sure if I carried $800 bucks to him, I could probably take it home. Its less than an hour from me.

Give him a call and tell him you are on the way to load it up!

Either sold or got tired of it not selling - ad is gone off of Craigslist.
