jcck's Full Review: 2000 Yamaha Road Star
This was my first bike in several years and was a little apprehensive with it being a new production model,However, after riding it, all my fears were gone and I was writing a check! as with any new production run there are several "Issues" that are being addressed, most are cosmetic and a couple are moderately serious. However mine were taken care of by my Dealer. No Problem. I am 5'8" with a 29 inch inseam and find this bike very easy to handle and can put both feet on the ground with the stock seat! it has great manners at low speed that belies its curb weight of 740 lbs, the bike is designed for short shifting and performs best when doing just that hitting the rev limiter in first gear is relatively easy to do and cruises at 65 mph all day long without even breathing hard just what a cruiser is supposed to do! I have bought the last bike I will own!!! would I buy it again?? ABSOLUTELY!!!
