		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 st<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">reet and gave it gas...WOW what a GAS it was. <br />
Smooth chunky power. How else do you describe a 1700cc V-twin. As I went through the gears &quot; It Was Bitchen&quot;. 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.</span>

		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 off<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">ered was too good to pass up. The Fatboy, Vulcan and VTX all came with a much higher price tag and the Intruder's styling just didn't work for me. Another factor was all the aftermarket parts available to custom fit the bike to my own personal style.<br />
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. <br />
Anyway, ride on brother!</span>
