The original (long metal) antenna is included, but a shorter one is currently fitted, easier to fit a cover over it. YAMAHA XVZ 12 T NL registration: MV-09-YJ Date of first admission 28-02-1983. This Yamaha XVZ 1200 from late 1982 has a V4 engine named Venture. The equipment was largely similar to that of the Goldwing. Although the Venture looked slightly more modern. So the Venture was one of the first motorcycles with an LCD screen in the instruments panel. This screen displayed fuel and oil levels, battery status, the condition of the brakes, etc. The potential buyer of a 1200 XV2 had the choice between two levels of equipment: The basic Venture and the more luxurious Venture Royale. Those choosing the latter got a two-tone colour scheme and a built-in radio/cassette player.
