  • Luv my rice burner
    By  (I am an Owner) on Nov 02, 2010

    After a lot of research on large cruisers (Vulcan 2000, Suzuki Intruder, Harley Davidson Fatboy, Honda VTX and Yamaha Road Star), I went with the Roadie and haven't regretted my choice at all. The Midnight version came with a lot more chrome than the standard version and the deal that the dealer ...

    I do agree that the paint quality could be better, but I'm having it custom painted anyway, so for me it's somewhat of a mute point.

    Anyway, ride on brother!

  • Great Bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Apr 14, 2010

    I saw this bike new as a leftover in January 2010 good price and nice looks. I had test rode a Kawi 900 custom that was nice. I figured this would be nice but bigger and more powerful. I was afraid it would be too heavy to go slow out the driveway and kept my feet down. Once I got lined up on the ...

    Smooth chunky power. How else do you describe a 1700cc V-twin. As I went through the gears " It Was Bitchen". I loved that sound that pull that feel. Cant tell you how big I was smiling. I was supposed to go around the block, well I went five blocks then turned went five more and was lovin every second on that bike. The wife came to see it and liked it. The grip angle does not match me but I can change that. Im comming off a 2006 Kawasaki z750 and I needed a bike I can put the wife on the back of. She loves it too the stock seats are great. It handles great turns quicker than I imagined it would. Around town its pure fun and gets alot of looks. I locked the rear tire as a guy in front stopped short 100 feet from a light!! I looked right and swung around him. It handled great and didnt get squirrely. I love this bike!!! Im going to leave it stock but for the bars it doesn't need anything.

    didn't know they make paint that cheap, you look at it and it scratches. Wish it had a six speed. Drove transport for 42 years, they use a plastic paint, you can stand on the fender and clean your windows with cowboy boots and it won't scratch
