    It's not a fake harley. It's a real yamaha. As a rice burner fanatic, coming from dirt bikes and fast streetbikes, my natural evolution was to a v star 1300. I chose it over this for great gas mileage. I love my yamaha!

    I own a 2014 Strat S, and it's basically a Roadliner most of the time, and a fully touring Stratoliner when I need it to be. I have two different height windshields, (Memphis lowers for buffeting), and a full-face helmet for riding without one at all, obviously the sissy bar is detachable, and I made the bags truly detachable without that ugly ass bar underneath.
    With the back seat removed, it just looks like a monster, -especially after I lowered it-, and with aftermarket exhaust and updated intake this thing screams.

    I just bought a 2006 a few days ago after not riding for years. Fell in love with it immediately, even through she promptly reminded me that I have a lot of ring rust to shake off before I can really handle her. The throttle feels a little touchy and turning at low speed is a little dicey for me, but my comfort and confidence levels are increasing quickly. Btw, I'm 5'7" and have no trouble with comfort or holding her up while stopped. The hardest part was just figuring out the sweet spot for feathering the clutch and throttle. Can't wait to get home from work this morning and take her out for a before-bed spin.

    I test rode a 2012 Roadliner a couple of summers ago: beautiful and powerful bike, but the one thing it absolutely needed was a windshield. I tried to find a Stratoliner to test ride for comparison but never did. It also needed a sixth gear. My 1600 Nomad cruises at a lower rpm on the highway than the Roadliner--which is probably why I didn't aggressively look for a Strat to test ride.

      Indeed. Just wish we could all voice our preferences without making it so personal and, well frankly - evil. C'mon brothers. We're ALL motorcycle riders - so at the LEAST we can respect another brothers viewpoints. So that means if you pull up to a Harley on the road while you're on your Yamaha, you're gonna go in on his bike? I know as the enthusiasts we all are, we can do better than this, right? Nothing wrong with commenting your pros, cons, likes, and dislikes. But why attack another brother who rides his choice of motorcycle? Same as with NFL fans. Somebody is a diehard Browns fan. Sure I can give him some good natured ribbing. But to attack him, personally, for being a Browns fan over my Cowboys - useless and pathetic.

      How would you compare to the Strat to the big Indians or to any particular Harley models? I want to get a reference / general idea

    I have an 06...and a Road King as well. The 113 is a better overall bike but dont try to trade one in...it's a YAMAHA...you wont get dick for it. This bike here's worth 4500 in this market, dont believe me? Try to trade one in...so I just kept mine and enjoy BOTH

    Be a more thorough review if you could post some rpms at highway and interstate speeds.
    Take in vibrations and comfort. Some big bikes will have annoying vibrations 65 to 80mph.

  • @duke927
    @duke927 Před 5 lety

    I had a 2007 Stratoliner. The countershaft pulley nut can come loose Usually after 20k miles. Yamaha allowed the warranty repair after major finagling as mine came loose and did damage. Tends to go through tires. Never got more than 6k out of any tire. A selling point was the balanced chassis which practically meant tires tended to wear out front and back at the same time. It really needed a 6th Gear and ABS. I do miss taking the seat off with a key. I had 65k and 10 years on the bike. The bags on the Strat really were not worth the money. Buy a Roadliner and do aftermarket bags.

    • @duke927
      @duke927 Před 5 lety

      PS I did love the bike overall:) Had it 10 years after all. But they don’t make them anymore.

  • @davidefland1985
    @davidefland1985 Před 3 lety +1

    I test rode one l couldn’t believe how balanced it was the torque is awesome the ride is excellent but when l went on freeway seemed like it’s geared low for how much engine it has. They also told me it has a valve in the exhaust called an exup valve supposedly makes more power or something

    • @neckbone4941
      @neckbone4941 Před 2 lety +1

      Definitely undergeared for as much motor it has.

    Please, please, quit yelling during acceleration!!! Ruins the review when your tongue is loose at both ends. Totally ruined the review other than the one bright spot you always include, the Lord.

    I can't begin to keep up with all the new bikes. But isn't there a 2.2 liter Triumph out there? Seems like I read about it a few years ago.

  • @dustinvancil3415

    I'm currently looking for a new bike, so I've watched like 20 of these in a row. But, have you ever noticed how 95% of the comments on all of these videos are super annoying?

    Vtx1800 or the stratoliner/Roadliner? Similar miles and years. What do you think srk?

    That bike sounds nice, you talk about the 2000...... Most don't realize, gears 1-3 are governed because the bike is just way too fast

      That's one good think on a Vulcan 1700, you can take the key out once in "ON" position 😁😂
