    CORRECTION: Yamaha Warrior is FUEL INJECTED (I thought it had carbs for 2002-2003). Shout out to bennyshoestring for pointing this out. Both awesome bike! Which would you mob?

      @@battlescargigantica2159 lol. All good, brotha! Az is fairly warm and you can get away with not having to adjust the choke on lots of the carburetor bikes. Although Yamahas tend to be pretty cold blooded from my experience. But I'll admit I'm quite surprised I went all these years mistaken. The road star 1700 cruisers have carbs up through 2007, so it's not entirely unimaginable.

    I have had my Warrior for 14 years. It's an '06 but I bought new in '07. I have ridden it from Canada to California and back and all over southern BC and Alberta and it has always been a blast. Lately I have has a few electrical/fuel problems but nothing that would make me want to walk away. One might expect a few glitches after 110,000 km. When I get on it, it's like putting on an old glove. Fantastic motorcycle.

      I have an 2003 Warrior 1700. Same color as in the video.
      The fuel tank isn't the best or biggest. Its about 3.5 gallons.
      That's one draw back.
      I've had a fuel pump issue, I think the Floater is broken, so I have to do Math to guess my fuel consumption. Or just start looking for a gas station at around 110 miles.

      @@JonsMotoGarage I think that's right. The RoadStar 1700 used a very similar motor to the Warrior, but it was tuned for a different torque range with slightly smaller displacement (1620 cc vs 1671, I think), and carbed vs fuel injection on all of the Warriors. Yammie took the solid powerplant from the RoadStar and turned it into the wicked uncle in the Warrior. I have a 2004 with Vance & Hines Propipe and PowerCommander, and I wouldn't take anything for it. Used to ride sport bikes, but realized I like my license too much to be pulling wheelies at triple digits any longer....but couldn't bring myself to a "boring old cruiser". The Warrior turned out to be just the ride for me. Should have bought it years ago.....

    When the power cruiser wars started around 2002, i was reading all the Rider Magizines. Kawasaki came out w the Meanstreak, which was decent, but Honda releases the VTX 1800, w that huge single pipe. Everyone marveled...until the warrior. You're right it was a technology breakthrough, oil in frame, suspension, and the motor, and on spite of the riders position, ..this stole the show...until VRod, that is. I love these bikes. They definitely are the older brother of the Raider. I rarely see these anymore.

      I've got both. A 2005 Warrior which I've owned for 8 years (as of this post) and been drag racing for 5. And I came across a can't-pass-it-up deal on a 2007 Honda VTX1800 and bought it with the thought of flipping it. After riding it a week, I decided to keep it. For now. The Honda is a more comfortable ride but the Warrior handles so much better and is just a lot more fun to ride. If I see a great deal on another Warrior (*cough* turbo *cough*), I'll sell the Honda in heartbeat to have another Warrior in the garage.

I'm assuming you're looking at the 900? I've sold a ton over the years and thing it's one of the best middleweight cruisers. Super good power to weight ratio and a lot of bike for the money, especially compared with shadow 750, vstar 650, and boulevard 800.

    Only thing that sucked about the warrior was parts. There getting and been discontinued. Itd be different if aftermarket was there to replace the OEM and but theres no aftermarket sadly. That's what killed these bikes is harleys everyone has to have a harley no one wanted the metrics. So that's why there all going under. Warrior discontinued. Raider. Discontinued. Victory. going out of buisness. And it's sad people still go for harleys. Way obsolete design. Heavy. You pay Lamborghini prices for a heavy slow bike. Fun fact harley is just now!

    I love my warrior. Payed 3500 for it. So much power for what you get with very very cheap maintenance and reliability is really good. Mods are really cheap, you arnt paying the HD tax on it. Will get too 100 very comfortably and easy with no issues. Coming off a gsxr 1k on to this. The handling is amazing. its not at sports bike level by any means, not that you should expect that at all. But its not that far from it. When it comes to fucking around in the bike world. You will beat every twin cam sports bike out there in acceleration. You will be able to keep up with 600s, you wont beat them but you will be able to keep up with them. Bike vs bike. Rider vs rider. Thats on your skill level vs them.

    Hey Jon I have a question. First of all new subscriber. Love the bike break downs. A buddy and myself have been going back and forth as to which muscle cruiser is the most radical/scary bike. I have been on all the big bikes you have ridden as well as him. As far ascmuscle cruisers go I do not count the new Vmax or the Ducati because they are more like a big sport touring bike. I've ridden the 1200 Vmax, the VTX 1800, 109r, and the raider. I haven t however ridden the triumph, the warrior, or the 650s. Of all the bikes I've owned the Vmax 1200 was the craziest bike for me, and he swears by the M109r. What's your take on this debate?

    • @JonsMotoGarage
      @JonsMotoGarage  Před 3 lety +3

      Personally, I'd put the 1st gen vmax at #1 and the m109r at #2 for radical/scary, with vtx 1800 in a close 3rd. The warrior is a great bike but is definitely more tame than the others. Bikes like the valkyrie and rocket 3 are powerful bikes but don't have the raw, gnarly, scary elements that you get with the others. Just my opinion of course.

A air cooled Harley had to be hopped up just to keep up with a stock Yamaha. They are also much more reliable than a Harley. All Harley did with the Milwaukee 8 was build a Yamaha motor.

    The Warrior is a slick bike, not overdone with nice smooth lines but if I had to choose it's the Dyna, all day everyday. You obviously know how to wheelie Jon but are you not using a handbrake on the bobber? Lot's don't obviously and I haven't ripped a fat Dank on a Harley ( yet, just an envious wannabee ) but with that heavy weight balance point must be scary as hell ( looks like a violent transition )! lol Not that we care if we fall, it's more not messing up the bike generally. Just curious, that's all, wasn't sure if you prefer not to have one or most people like me never learned with one. I would say for just wheelies it's not needed but knowing that my gas tank knee death grip doesn't have to change would probably give me a little more confidence with that weight transition. That looks like a whole different world, almost fights the laws of physics lol. Stay cool amigo
