  • Fast, Comfortable Cruiser
    By  (I am an Owner) on Dec 09, 2020

    After owning a Harley Sporster for six years I decided to move up to something bigger. Tried Softails and a Fat Boy and liked them both. But found someone looking to sell their Yamaha Roadliner. Perfect condition and low miles. The bike was beautiful and after a short test ride I had to have it. ...

    These bikes are hold-onto-the-handlebares fast but very comfortable. The bike doesn't even realize when you have a passenger. Well built, reliable, comfortable and excellent performance. Only downside is the amount of fuel they ingest. Maybe 130 miles on 4.5 gal of gas? But my motorcycle shop loves it and so do I.

I am a new rider and was nervous about buying "too much bike" but the roadliner is really easy and fun to ride. I've customized it with a new slipon and some other stuff to make it ...
