Yamaha Royal Star Venture (XVZ1300TF)

The Yamaha Royal Star Venture (XVZ1300TF) appeared in 1999 as the successor to the old Yamaha XVZ1300D Venture Royale. However, the review should start from 1997 and the appearance of the model `` Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe (XVZ1300LT) . Very often this model is considered as one of the modifications of the cruiser Yamaha Royal Star (XVZ1300A), however, the Royal Star Tour Deluxe has more in common with the Royal Star Venture and can in fact be considered as its "stripped down" version.

It should be noted right away that the Tour Deluxe is not a "naked" version of the Venture, but has the technical features of both the Venture and the classic Royal Star (XVZ1300A). Therefore, in this review we will analyze the Yamaha Royal Star Venture (XVZ1300TF) and Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe (XVZ1300LT) models in one article.

From the touring equipment of the Yamaha XVZ1300TF Royal Star Venture, a full-fledged front fairing (batwing), air suspension, audio system, electronic cruise control, integrated trunks, trunks and passenger backrest, etc. should be distinguished.
