Yamaha Venture 1300 Motorcycle - Street (1987-1988)

The Yamaha Venture 1300, specifically the XVZ1300D Venture Royale model, was a luxury touring motorcycle offered from 1987 to 1988. Designed to compete with models like the Honda Gold Wing, it featured a liquid-cooled, 1294 cc (often referred to as 1300 cc) V-4 engine with 4 valves per cylinder and DOHC. This engine produced a maximum power of 85.2 hp (63.6 kW) at 7000 rpm and 112 Nm of torque at 5000 rpm. The primary trim available during these years was the Yamaha Venture Royale (designations XVZ13DT/C for 1987 and XVZ13DU for 1988). Between the 1987 and 1988 model years, there were no significant generation or engine changes. The core platform remained unchanged from its 1986 introduction, with only minor cosmetic and color updates. The 1300 cc model had replaced the 1200 cc version in 1986, bringing a larger engine, an electronic anti-dive system, and a bigger trunk. FAQ:
