I had an 06 strat, with a fairing and 3 bikes later that strat was still the best bike I've owned. Mine had Vance and Hines 2 into 1 pro pipe. And the Patrick racing big air kit and it was a beast!!
Hi Ken, well I sold the KLR and ended up buying a 2006 roadliner midnight 1900. I'm watching you on this beast of machine and thinking I did good. Love what you guy's are always doing. ❤️
I'm a die hard Harley guy, but I gotta say I'm shocked with this bike, never seen one cause I don't look for them ya know..it's a really sweet bike, I bet it just cruises like a dream..it's really sharp. An obvious nod to Harley, all the same it's nice...
That is. Hoppe Industries fairing. They are meticulous manufacturing their products. That specific fairing is custom to the Yamaha. Look at the lines on the fairing that flow with the lines of the bike. As always Kaps, awesome presentation!
I have a 05 Yamaha Road Star 1700 same engine just a gnats ass smaller than the 1900. I have 2 Harley Davidsons I love but I ride the road star more and it runs, rides, alot more than the hds. And I put the Cobra longshots on it and man it sounds awesome and has a good lope at idle!
I had a new 04 Roadstar all white; traded for a new , silver 06 Stratoliner S. The bike’s been my only one to this day. Am considering moving to a Goldwing DCT.
..lol.. You had me going for a while thinking you knew what you were talking about until.., but no, there was never a 1500cc yamaha Silverado.. And so you never had one.. But yea, I've had Stratoliner 1900s for 11 years now, and liked it better than my 2014 Honda F6B goldwing..sold the goldwing too
@@lazar2453 Yes, the alternator is louder than on many other cycles, and no cruise control option.. the seat pan is quite wide for smaller frame, shorter riders.. only mechnical issue I know of is a few early model year bikes have experiences a gear issue.. but that's about it.. Original battery can last up to 8 years, but don't buy a cheap replacement. Great bike, first cruiser with all Aluminum Frame, power house with a broad torque. and comfortable rev range, pulls hard all the way to redline. I you like to ride 75+ you might wonder why they didn't space the gears out or add a 6th gear, but will red line past 122 (maybe 127) in 5th. Good suspension and handles great for 840lbs, very low center gravity. Has a great sound with good aftermarket exhaust (if you like that sort of thing) I've noticed not all large engine V-twins will deliver a great sound even with the best aftermarket exhaust and people might spend thousands just trying to do it.
Ken nice bike! I love your videos of you 🤨old😃guys ripping off road.👍a question I have the Yamaha Raider which is the same motor tranny fuel injection and it has a pogo throttle(hard on off) does the stratoliner have this pogo throttle. Yamaha said it is common when I took it in for warranty but I have only ridden mine so nothing to compare it to? Thanks for any help.
The throttle is smooth as butter one of the best I've ever written absolutely love this bike check the reviews online everybody loves a Stratoliner with his written one
That is one sweet Strat..Exactly what I am looking for with all the goodies, especially the fairing with stereo..My next bike will definitely have an awesome stereo..

I've been enjoying my '06 Stratoliner S since I bought it new in 2006. Same color and everything. I've never wanted anything else!

Better and faster than a Harley of it's time
I've had a HUGE problem with my Stratoliner - I never get to ride it often enough.

They still make ‘em, I’m looking into getting one for my ‘06 Stratoliner S. Almost 50,000 miles on it now…
TRUE VALUE !! ( for the money )
Yamaha reliability ! ☝️ ❤️ it 🤣🤣

@kaplan american, did you get the Yamaha tattoo!? 😂 that made my day thanks!
These things haul ass and they handle amazingly for their size.
Love my stratoliner the saddlebags let in rain though , I will buy a pair of Corbin bags for it .
I can't believe Yamaha quit making the cruiser bikes. I think they only make one star bike now and it's a anemic 250.
Man,this bike is of the hook!
I have this exact bike color year and all. It is an awesome machine
I usually listen to new age music when I ride my Strat...
This is a nice setup.
Thank you guys for what you do.
World class bike
I know it's crazy late! But is this bike 🏍 still up for sale?!
I actually don't care for the factory fairing/radio. This aftermarket I like.
Awesome bikes, I've the striped down version of the strat the Roadliner will never get rid of it best road bike I've ever owned!
Why did they make it so damn difficult to put down the kickstand? I have an 07.
Put one washer between the bracket and the frame on the front bolt, put three on the rear. Did the trick for me…

Any problems with the Stratoliner? Any complaints?

I have a 2010 Stratoliner Deluxe and want to put a bluetooth sound system in it as opposed to the wired amplifier. Can anyone please advise?

I’ve been approached to trade my 2008 Strat with 25k miles for a 2004 Vulcan 2000 w/ 25k miles plus $2500. What do y’all think?
Very nice.
Cool bikes...im always hunting for 6th gear though.
Anyone know the manufacturer's name of the sissybar bag?
What'd it sell for?
Best thing to use to polish chrome is Pledge.
Yep! Lemon Pledge works great!
Im looking for one in UK...
Isn't this the guy who bullied the kid in the movie Christine.

How do you set the time on it
Mono shock in the rear.....
Darkside it!
What's the weight?
