		Always have ridden yamahas (although I have crused around on harleys both big ans small) and the silverado s is an all around great bike. It has awesome amounts of power and good handling. It is extremely comfortable for long rides even with a passanger and still handles amazing for its size. My onl<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">y gripe is that it burns fuel fairly quickly due to its weight and engine size; but its slim proce tag (especially compaired to harleys) makes up for it. I would recommend it to anyone!</span>

		I just bought a used 2008 Roadstar Silverado with 9000 miles . It has Yamaha speedstar exhaust ,making it sound like a &quot;potato ,potato,potato &quot; harley :)<br /><br />
and powercommander + K&amp;N Airfilter .<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The Motorcycle is powerful and smooth .<br /><br />
well balanced with a very low centre of gravity . <span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">I am only 5'7&quot; and 155lbs and i can ride it around comfortably .<br />
<br />
Removed the hard saddlebags and put leather one's on .</span>

		I bought a new '08 Road Star Silverado S and put 10,000 miles on it over the past 2 years. It is an oustanding bike. It is very comfortable and powerful. Its not a very fast bike. I only got it up to 110 mph or so and that was pushing it. But the torque is excellent. The engine feels like it could t<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">ow a tank! I cruised at 75 mph everywhere and never had any power issues even when fully loaded for a long trip. <br />
<br />
The standard side bags that it comes with look great but they are an odd size. I'd recommend buying the pull-out canvas bags that Yamaha sells. They fit perfectly and will help you pack efficiently. I'd also recommend putting a rear back rest on it. I had it and it made my wife much more comfortable. <br />
<br />
Its a great bike and requires virtually no maintenance other than an occasional oil change. Good luck!</span>
