Yamaha Roadliner



I just rode a Roadliner today. Niiiiice!
They *finally* did away with the hideous spot welded/flanged gastank
and went with a seamless type.
Looking good! And if all that "chrome" isn't covring cheap plastic,
it'll even keep looking good ten years from now.
Screw the looks! That thing goes like hell!
No need for Yamaharley to cut into their bottom line for things like
that which novices don't notice. Given the market niche they're
serving [1], they know their customers will almost all be moving up to
Harleys long before any of their bikes reach 10 years of age. ;)


Amazing power, barely any vibration. Man is that thing strong. And the
weight and long wheelbase make for a smooth ride.
Only if you are commuting into Scranton.


I'll keep the Venture, though. After all, where would I plug the
coffee maker?
