1986 YAMAHA XVZ1300DC Venture Royale, The Venture Royale was, in 1986, the Yamaha motorcycle with the largest displacement and power output, and it was developed as a long-distance tourer for the American market. A liquid-cooled DOHC 4-valve, V-4 engine and shaft drive for the power unit and full comfort measures, made this model great for comfortable long-distance cruising. This is a machine that set a new standard in two-wheeled touring comfort. It was the clear winner in Motorcyclist's touring comparison ('86), pulling ahead of the legendary Gold Wing Interstate, as well as Suzuki's GS1100GK. The 1300cc Yamaha held the winning hand in virtually every aspect of performance; it was superior in handling, ride, comfort, and overall engine performance. You can't ask for much more in a supertourer.
