2006 Yamaha Road Star 1700 review from United States of America
"The best ride of all bikes I've ever had"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Needed carburetor adjusting when new.
Stayed with stock pipes.
Nothing else.
General comments?
This machine runs great for me. I put Mustang seats on, which made the ride much better for long hauls.
Moved the running boards 3" to the front. No need for a highway bar. Rides very smooth.
Not too good on gas.
