I don't get the feeling that there will be a lot of after market support for these unless they really take off.

In the world of comparable models from other manufacturers it is very affordable. We are just a group of cheap MF'ers

I'm retired and live in NH which has a very short riding season neither of which makes the new venture
an affordable option for me. I wonder what percentage of the total MC market goes to these titanic size touring ships?

Me three! 
Clearly we [or at least most of us] are not the target market for this bike. That said, you have to ask the question, how does it stand up to HD, Indian, Victory, BMW and Honda? Because that's *exactly* who it's targeted at. Only time will tell.
I'm glad to see it's a V-Twin because that keeps the possibility of other downmarket models based on that motor... i.e. something we all might be more interested in. -So what's the word BubbaK? Any other models in the pipeline with that motor?
As for the styling, it's not "classic" by any means, but it's not bad for what it is. Thankfully that headlight looks better than I'd first suspected.

I really can't forsee current American V-twin owners, Goldwing owners, or BMW owners jumping ship for the Venture.

If they made a Road Star with 111ci engine I would raise an eyebrow and break open my piggy bank. The Venture is for cross country long hauling luxury, not my cup of tea. I like to tear up and down the highways and add stuff to the bike to personalize it. Happy where I am at. I hope they do well, looks like a very practical bike.

If it is broke, fix it. If it is not, make it better!

I like it a lot, and no one can say it's a Harley clone. Wish I was younger, it would be on my list for sure. The sucker sounds bad ass in the video. May not even have to change out the pipes. I hope they sell a bunch.
