I am seeing a pricing trend on the MNS lately. Owners are asking more for them even though they are not exactly correct. The MNS might just be rare enough to command the higher asking amounts.

Actually, during that era, IIRC there were less Venturers produced and sold(touring crowd) than MNS. Honda's Wing was king of touring during that time period more so than now.

Yes it is Marty, I thought it looked gold to me. I kind of see the 1100 there, but it is not as bold as it typically is. And yes, the side cover badges are missing. Kind of nitpicky details, over all a really nice bike. But then for that kind of money, you expect mint condition.
Geeze, Rock Springs is the middle of nowhere......LITTERALY. I've been there many times.
Beautiful mountains all around then there's.............Rock Springs.
It rains there every day in the summer at 5pm.

A lot can happen to a bike in 34 years Marty. The seat on my SG is from an LG. I think the seats may have been a bit different also.
That's the only pic I can find without the pad on it.

Darn near....if it weren't for I-80's traffic. Only three hours north of me and been there enough to know I didn't leave anything there..........
