2004 Yamaha Road Star

After 35 years of riding, 4 years road racing, owning more different styles of motorcycles than i can list. Everything from Ninja 250 to CBR 929R. I finally made the jump to cruisers. 1st was a Road King, the i found Road Stars. I purchased my 2nd Road Star last week. Im my huble opinion. The 1700 ... Road Star is by far the best cruiser on the planet. Sorry Harley Guys.

Just picked up a used 2004 Roadie - my first Roadie - with about 8000 miles on it and love it. After crotch-rockets thru my 30s, time to sick back and relax rather than hump a gas take, which this bike certainly fits the bill on. Compared to Harley's or Victory's (all fine bikes as well and test ... road several), just couldn't justify the $$$ for what beyond the name on the tank. Balance, good low end power, smooth across the whole powerband, and a great many accessories to further custom to my fit, all make this a great purchase for the money. If you like to cruise, and don't have a bunch of extra moolah laying around right now in this economy, think about a Roadie.
