Is there such a thing as an '80 xs850? I thought they quit building the 850 before that....

Not sure Richard, but they were available new still when i bought my Venturer in 81'. Almost decided on one of those dressed......until i rode the 1100Venturer.....rest is history..Originally posted by planedick View Post81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top. -
Supposedly these were built up through '81; maybe they weren't sold here that long...Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two
