I bought a used 07 venture with 360 miles on it. My top speed is 92MPH is the normal?
Sometimes it is hard to shift into reverse, I have to give it a bit of throttle to move the machine forward an inch or 2 and then it will engage. Is this normal? 80% of the time it will shift fine.

Yes & yes.
The 3 cyls are torque monsters, not topend speed freaks.
Very normal to have to blip the throttle every once in awhile to get the reverse engaged.
I think what happens somethimes is, there is pressure on the chain & gears depending on how the machine came to rest, thus the need to blip the throttle & make the machine move some to relieve the pressure.

Yep exactly what the cat man said !

If the chain tension is too tight it will be harder to shift
Too loose though and it will wear too quickly
