Am I getting older or smarter

[RSV]

Am I reading this right there is a Venture Delta II 144 with tip up rails available in Canada..........There is a Gotta have.

It's the RS Venture TF with the 151" track and tip up rails. But you won't like the Can prices!

It doesen't have tip-up rails, but has an articulated extension (flip up), just like the RS Viking/Professional...

I agree with RSV,

The rails are not bowed 6 degrees like the XTX, they are:

"Designed with high mileage riders in mind. Our easy adjust touring-oriented suspension is suited to all combinations of comfort. Our quick-adjust spring preload sets the ride for solo or two-up travel. And the flip up rails at the back make backing up easier when off trail".


Copied from the Yamaha Canada Brochure online.

Hope this helps!

Oh I get it guys it is Flip up not tip up. Thanks

I reviewed in detail, it is - longer track, standard shock package Venture. I suspect the GT will better fit my needs(OK wants, people need food , shelter and love, I know and have to remind myself).

I rode my buddies AC deluxe two up and enjoyed the 'cruise' kind of solo ride as well with the mindset of comfort performance not max performance. As stated I see myself keeping the Apex and deciding what kind of ride or day I plan.

I will wait to see how the first year goes for the Delta II venture before I jump in. I am not opposed to year one purchases but just not necessary at this time, I can always learn the pro's and con's.

Thanks for the information

Yamaha needs to put the fx nytro 135 HP in the vector for us inbetweeners who like a windshied that fits the sled and a motor that walks the talk.
Not that the 120 is a dog.
might have to fundyize the vector into an ape killer this summer.pistons cam and port.

Ok, sorry about that - didn't mean to be misleading - I was not familiar with the tip up rails - thought it was the same concept as flip-up.

So, as a matter of interest and at the risk of going off topic, what is the advantage of tip-up rails?

Makes a 144 handle like a 121 on trail, ie won't push because the rear of the rail has very little preasure on it. Maxdlx

PS Ding if I am a geezer, then you must be headed for retirement. LOL At least we have memories.

If it had the 150 Appex engine I'd be sold. Two up touring convertable sled is the way to go.
