Pros: Sound, Torque, Torque, and Torque. Fit and finish, smooth ride, Great Chrome
Cons: None so Far!
The Bottom Line: If you are tired of the Harley guys asking why you didn't get a HOG, tell them you wanted a FULL SIZE BIKE!

| cbarker's Full Review: 2000 Yamaha Road Star |
This is the bike I have wanted all my life! A full 1602cc or 85ci 48 degree V-Twin Torque Monster Rules. I wanted a Royal Star since their debut in 1996 but with all the articles about lack of power, waited, and am I glad I did. With 99 foot pounds of Torque at only 2750 rpm's this thing rules!
I got a great deal on a leftover 2001 model purchased new in January 2003. Very smooth ride, with just enough rumble at idle to let you feel it without all the harshness of the HOG crap. All the style and class look and feel of the Harley with New Millenium Jap technology to prevent oil leaks, overheating, and breakdown.
Thank God they made this bike! It is a real Dream come true, and I ordered the license plate cover that says that to the world.
My opinion.... Get this bike!
It is now April, and wanted to update now that I have had the bike for a few months... Upgrades and factory bolt-on's are much easier than Honda's, This is due to better fit, things are easier to get on and off the bike.
I just had the 600 mile service completed, and I tell you, I couldn't be happier. A great bike so far, no problems of any kind.
