The Eluder’s implementation is quite good. While this turbulence isn’t enough to jostle my head, it causes enough noise to make riding without earplugs too loud for my tastes.Ī touring bike’s infotainment system is becoming ever more important as all of the manufacturers are packing in additional features with each new model year.
However, I did discover that the short windscreen (which is standard fare in baggers) creates some buffeting around the top of my helmet. Being able to close the vents in the fairing lowers kept my legs noticeably warmer on our chilly ride. Weather protection on the Eluder is exactly what you’d expect from a modern touring motorcycle. Of those, the only misfire is the removal of the heated grips, which are, along with the fog lamps and TPMS, available from the Yamaha accessory catalog.
The rest of the items eliminated from the Eluder’s manifest are: Sure Park, mid-fairing wind deflectors, rider backrest, tire pressure monitoring system, fog lamps, and heated grips. Although the two bikes have exactly the same dimensions, the Eluder looks lower and more muscular. The Eluder wears a blacked out engine, exhaust, and wheels which add to the aggressive silhouette. (Along with those two components you lose the electric windshield adjustment and the rear speakers with their dual-zone audio controls.) Couple this with a different color treatment, and the transformation is complete. Visually, you’ll immediately notice the shorter windshield and the lack of a trunk. The Eluder is the Venture without a few key components. To say that the Eluder is based on the Venture would be a tremendous understatement.
