2006 Yamaha Road Star Silverado review from Canada
"One seriously great ride; goes like hell, and looks great doing it"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Stumbles at start off until fully warmed up. Should go away once I re-jet and get the new pipes on her.
General comments?
Handles really nice, like a much smaller ride.
The extra weight is not noticable at all, except that it rides much smoother. Don't even notice the power loss when riding two up. The 102 inch mill really gets a move on.
