Just bought this bike, and after 10 years she looks and rides like new. These bikes really do hold up very good over the years, was saving up for a Road King...and for less than the down payment I own this bike. The 99 looks just like the 09 so when I ride with my friends this bike looks good next to a new Road Star or Harley. The ride is great, put some new Dunlops (white walls) on her and she just goes like a new bike. The stock seat is just fine for around town....I am going to have it shaped to get me lower and further back.

This is my first bike I've owned, and after riding Harleys that friends and family have, I've got to say this is one of the most comfortable bikes to cruise on.

This is my first bike I've owned, and after riding Harleys that friends and family have, I've got to say this is one of the most comfortable bikes to cruise on. It could use something more on the highway, but overall for everyday use, it can't be beat. I've put over 4,000 miles on it last summer, and have had it out a few times during some warmer winter days. It has great styling, great value, great comfort and is a GREAT BIKE.

It would've made a terrific centerpiece in my living room. Lol!

When I was looking for a bike I just ran across this one for a great price. Looked at it and rode it once deciding this was the bike. Have put over 4000 miles on it since I bought it and have not had one single problem at all. Routinely take it on rides to NE Iowa and am never sore after a 3+ hour ride. Can't say enough good about this bike!!! Beautiful red paint job and pipes turn heads. I ride through ISU campus and make some noise and get a lot of looks all spring and fall! Plentiful parts in the aftermarket world! HAVE FUN MAKE IT YOUR OWN!

I came across this bike from an owner and after talking with him, I bought it.($4,200.00) I have replaced front tire and oil change so far. Touched up some stone chips and buffed and polished the bike. I'm getting 36-43 miles to the gallon.

I recently got rid of my V-Star 1100 Custom and my wife's V-Star 650 Classic. The thinking was we would buy a 'Geezer Glide' that we would both be comfortable on. I picked up a '99 Venture w/28000 miles on it and LOVE IT! Aside from it being a total beast at slow speeds, it is so easy and comfortable to ride. The finish quality is very nice, the V-4 is awesome and no one knows what the heck I'm riding. It's not for beginners but there is no way I would consider paying $35k+ for a stock HD when there is a beuaty like this out there that is more comfortable, more powerful and nicer looking at half the price!
