Today we're checking out a used 2002 Yamaha Road Star Warrior 1700. This was Yamaha's flagship muscle cruiser for a good number of years. The bike has a 102 ci (about 1680cc) air cooled V-Twin engine. It's a 5 speed with inverted front forks and dual disks in the front. It's not necessarily the gnarliest of all the muscle bikes; however, it's one of the best in my opinion due to the superb handling and aggressive looks. Let's see if this one will be added to the collection. Stay tuned as I do my first walk around, ride, review, impressions, and share my thoughts on the bike.

I ride one for 7 years now, traveled round Europe. It rips in the city, highway, mountain roads, etc. Love it
Buy it Bro!!! I have an 07' Warrior and it rips like nobody's business! It is so nimble and light for the power. Take off the pin stripes and saddle bags, throw on drag bars and keep that thing for yourself Jon! You'll fall in love in 2 weeks of riding. Thanks for the great video's!!
I just bought a 2009 Yamaha Road Star Warrior last Saturday... She's a BEAST!!!×
Got one new in 05. Still have it, still love it, Still gets looks. Fun to ride. Just buy it you won’t regret it.
I bought an 03 Warrior back in 2010, it was one of my dream bikes. Someone pulled out in front of me in 2016, did some extensive damage to the bike, but I couldn’t bear to get rid of it so it sits in my garage waiting to be rebuilt
I just bought a 2003 VTX 1800; if you don't have a big cruiser in the garage, get it because you need it in your life :)
He has two videos on previously owned 1800s
I had an 06 and I loved it. Not a day goes by I don't think about that warrior.
I traded my 06 in towards a 19 street glide 3 months ago now I am calling them tomorrow to buy it back
I always had a soft spot for this bike.
I sat but it. A warrior is definitely one on my list. I have owned a Stryker, raider but not a warrior. One of these days. It does suck there’s not a bigger market for the muscle cruisers. I love them
I have a very clean 07 that I bought about a year ago. all I can say its an awesome bike and easy to ride. the looks and styling still hold up even today's bikes. get plenty of compliments on it from all sorts of bike riders.
I bought a 2005 Warrior just 3 days ago. I love it.
Just bought one yesterday, and man was I surprised how much power and torque" this thing really has to be so heavy! Now it's time to custom it up! 😜
My buddy just gave me his, as he is off to law school and couldn't take it with him. Best gift ever. 13,000 miles, 2002. Had a few things to address. Had a fuel leak. Easy fix. But now, I need to probably replace the fuel filter. Love the bike though. Tons of power, handles better than any 1500cc + Harley I have tried.
Bro you're always talking about wanting a Warrior. Stop playing with us to stay tuned. We already know you bought it. 🤘
Nice bike and I'm liking the striping. Yamaha makes a great bike as I own a Raider.
I had a Raider and loved it. My main complaint is I couldn't keep off the gas and got like 100 miles a tank because of it.
im buying a 2002 tomorrow! Im coming from the stryker. i regret selling my stryker for a ZX10r big time but the price around me for one is crazy so i found the warriors and got curious and well now im going to pick one up tomorrow lmao
Super cool bike. I’m with you on the pinstripes.
I hope ya bought it bro ... I have the 05 and I had a big bore kit and upgraded the exhaust . I own a fat bob and a Glide but on the daily around town runner I take my 05 warrior .
I know nothing about bikes and I just acquired a 2007 Yamaha Warrior, needs some fixing before I can use it (and learn, lol) ... thanks for your video, I subscribed! :D
Cool vlog Jon, dig the content and the details you give on the bikes.
Thanks, girl! 🤙🏍
We're looking forward to seeing more of this one. 👍
👨👩👧 ❤
Great bike not just because I have one thanks for the video you're awesome as always god bless
It'd look good with some 12-14in t bars.
PS: I wish these test rides/buy or busts would be longer, like full on in depth of beginning/riding/deal etc!
I agree it would be nice to show more of the transaction/interaction with the sellers. Unfortunately not everyone is down to be on CZcams. So I have to edit out certain parts.
I've always wanted the 2nd gen vmax but never got ahold of one. You should buy one and I can live vicariously though you.
Yea I rode one those before things a monster
I just missed out on one in 2017 by ONE day.
Why do you not mention the Stratoliner?!! That's a powerful bike!
I like that it's air cooled. It sounds really good. Fuel injection is always good too. I too don't like the bars. I would like 10-12 inch apes.
My buddy loved his, claimed it handled almost intuitively (for a cruiser). I looked at them but that damn footpeg location! (Same issue I have with VRods). If your leg catches something, you can lose it. I know people like that.
Yeah, dang forward controls are the worst.
I'm with u, I grew up riding dirt bikes & I just don't like forward controls in town. Every cruiser I've had with forward controls I have converted to mid controls & then put pegs where the forward controls were for highway pegs. Mid controls for me are much more comfortable in town with red lights & stop signs & I feel like I can ride more aggressive and have more control in the twisties, & by putting pegs were the forwards were I can still stretch out & change up my seating position on the highway/interstate & longer rides. For me that is the best set up, I feel like I get the best of both worlds.
Have you ever owned a CB-1? Those bikes are amazing!
No Mean Streak love...... One of the best handling muscle cruisers out there.
I agree, I have an 06 mean streak 1600 and a VTX1800F3...the mean streak is very nimble, the VTX is a locomotive
Hey Jon. How does it compare to low rider s? I have tuned warrior now, but thinking about upgrading
I ride a 2005 midnight warrior, would never sell it.
Jon Rocks!
This was on the live right
Great buy,that bike is awesome
Looks and sounds amazing ♥️
why cant you take it on longer rides? if anything it seems more comfortable for longer rides to have you legs extended
How much was he asking?!
It does sound good
I had one a 2003 warrior. The only thing I did not like about it was the 4 gallon gas tank. I kept it for 2 years then traded it in for a 2005 Triumph Rocket III.
I have a 2016 dyna low rider S, how's the power compare to our bikes? 1700 vs 1801?
Those are all over CL.
can someone explain inverted forks please? i looked it up but still don't understand it.
The guts of the shock/spring are up in the top of the fork, while the bottom/slider is simply the plunger. Less unsprung mass. Also allows for an adjustable suspension, since the damper is up top and thus easily accessible.
Jon! Haven’t chatted for a while... what are your plans for this bike? For sale?!
Hi bro nice bike ( classic bro)🤘😁
Would $3,000 be too much for a 2003 warrior with 22k miles?
Solid deal as long as the bike checks out. Check things like tires, fork seals, etc. Those can add up fast if you have to replace em right away.
@@JonsMotoGarage What would I be looking for with the fork seals? I appreciate your input!
@markd7762 cracks, leaks, check a yt vid and you should get a good idea on good vs bad seals.
@@JonsMotoGarage Appreciate it man!
Imo the warrior makes the vtx 1800 feel like a pig. Sure VTX pulls harder in a drag race but warrior rips harder through corners... with a touring seat and backrest it's pretty comfy on highway
With a few little goodies like the Patrick Racing 110 big bore kit , afte= market air intake , port and polish along bigger valves and true straight through drag pipes a warrior turns into a beast !!! And bone stock they're 84 horse and 99ft lbs of torque , not to mention the suspension and brakes are taken straight from the Yamaha R1 1000cc sportbike , thus the great handling , also for those of you who don't know , from 2004 on the 1700 Roadstar is a warrior engine but with a carburetor 04, 05 , 06 , then 07 on they got fuel injection , so you can make all the same engine mods to the roadstar as the Warrior and they'll haul butt as well 😁
I've got a chance to pick one up ... '07 .. 3800 miles...
Wondered what you'd put on it for price.
And, could you elaborate on why you think it's not made for long highway rides?
Air cooled in zona? daaayum
Ride a raider s with chip and pipes
The air cleaner could be your hat.
I am looking for one, have you ever shipped bikes to EU, could be a good option to cooperate
I've sold a few bikes to a guy who does import/export to other countries but its been a few years.
That’s good your thinking on it..reading your language from your video it seems your gut seems to say no..stick with that and look for the next great smoking deal :) FWIW
How much did you pay?
I am 5'6" can this bike fits me?
Women shouldn’t ride bikes like this!
You'd be much better off buying a raider, you'll be able to get parts for raider at least another 10yrs, probably 20...... warrior you may be making gaskets first time you need one. If this thing won't out perform a Honda 1800 then don't get it, I rode vtx, had nothing on the 90ci Kawasaki mean streak...except bigger heavier nicer on interstate
Vtx1800 will walk off from a meansreak
Seems Legit Lol
Kawasaki 2000
If comfort means nothing to you. Lol
I bet you buy it. Lol
First today
Had an 05 that I had all nodded only to have a pickup take it out.
Worked back up but to a Roadstar. Comfort and bags/ shield with the same albeit detuned motor
