    Just wondering if your 1980 yamaha xs 1100 midnight special with 1200Miles is still for sale, or did you sell it.
    Thanks.

    Imagine he took his 'toy' and left once the bubble got popped that there was no gold and it wasn't rare.................Actually if the truth were known the 81 Venturer was the least produced anyways.............
    81H 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.

        it's my first time posting on here so hello to all. I didn't want to start a new thread so i'll ask my question on this one. I keep seeing claims that only 250 Midnight Specials were produced per year. I've seen at least three in my area and have a hard time believing that claim. Thanx for any info b-4 I start cutting. Oops! too late.

            Claims with no basis in fact. The only statement Yamaha ever made about the MNS production numbers was that they intended to produce enough so each dealer could have at least one and at the time there at least 3000 dealers in the US....
