Are the 2001 Yamaha Venture 700 Triple good sleds? Thinking about buying one...

Thanks

Have 02 Venture 600. Really no probelms except exhaust gasket into the can. I usally need to replace it yearly. Used to be only 10 bucks, but this year it was 20 bucks. Hopefully a better design. Has never left me sit and I have about 3000 miles on it. When being used it is always with 2 passengers

if it has been taken care of or tortured, its a great sled, will take abuse, great on fuel, runs sweet , very dependable, strong running sled

you'll love the 700 triple

I,M LOOKING AT A 2003 700 VENTURE WITH GET THIS 87MILES THIS SUNDAY 5900 ?? HOPE ITS GOOD

that (2003) is now a 5 year old sled

they should be begging you to take it for $4500- $5000

hope it is a demo and you get 2 year warranty

My very good friend has a 2000 - 600 and a 2002 700, both are fantastic machines.

Sorry for the dark picture, the blue one is a 600, the golden / gray one is the 700.

I bought my '03 with only 101 miles thinking the low miles were great on a 3 year old sled. Turns out it needed the head gasket replaced as it had never properly seated due to no real break-in. Check COMPRESSION.

Love my sled...

We've got two ventures in the house, wife has a 00 600 and I have a 01 700, both have been very good sleds, they'll take a tough trail and make it smooth, and they're tough as nails!
