1999 Yamaha Road Star Silverado Cruiser reviews

I just bought this bike. It is awesome. It is a great ride. Thanks to the dealership I got it at. Show less

Just bought this bike, and after 10 years she looks and rides like new. These bikes really do hold up very good over the years, was saving up for a Road King...and for less than the down payment I own this bike. The 99 looks just like the 09 so when I ride with my friends this bike looks good next to a new Road Star or Harley. The ride is great, put some new Dunlops (white walls) on her and she just goes like a new bike. The stock seat is just fine for around town....I am going to have it shaped to get me lower and further back. Show less

This is my first bike I've owned, and after riding Harleys that friends and family have, I've got to say this is one of the most comfortable bikes to cruise on. It could use something more on the highway, but overall for everyday use, it can't be beat. I've put over 4,000 miles on it last summer, and have had it out a few times during some warmer winter days. It has great styling, great value, great comfort and is a GREAT BIKE. Show less

When I was looking for a bike I just ran across this one for a great price. Looked at it and rode it once deciding this was the bike. Have put over 4000 miles on it since I bought it and have not had one single problem at all. Routinely take it on rides to NE Iowa and am never sore after a 3+ hour ride. Can't say enough good about this bike!!! Beautiful red paint job and pipes turn heads. I ride through ISU campus and make some noise and get a lot of looks all spring and fall! Plentiful parts in the aftermarket world! HAVE FUN MAKE IT YOUR OWN! Show less

I got this bike in April 2005; it is now October 2005 and I've got to say this bike simply R O C K S! I've ridden all the way from the Carolinas to Indiana, several trips around the Midwest, including the Upper Peninsula of Michigan via Northern Wisconsin. I cannot express how satisfied I am with this bike. It is very responsive, comfortable and massive! I survived a crash in the Cherohala skyway (yeppers, my fault), but was still in good shape to ride 400 miles back to Indiana, despite minor cosmetic damage. I am working on getting a new windshield and crash bar, which were damaged in the accident. BUY this bike, you won't regret it. PERIOD! Show less

Over 5K ridden since I got this bike last April (3 mos), I am really impressed with this bike! Other than a flat rear tire and oil change, the bike asks for nothing but gas! I have ridden this bike from South Carolina all the way to Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and it rides smooth, reliable. Unlike my previous Vulcan 1500, it does not backfire. It also has a better center of gravity... I am hooked! Show less

I bought my Road Star 3 months ago. It had 6K miles on it and not a scratch. I bought it for MUCH less than a comparable new machine and have never looked back. It has a windshield and the Bub pipe's LOUD! Everywhere I go, I hear "good lookin' bike", etc. It has been twenty years since I had ridden and when I got this bike, I suddenly realized what I had been missing. Show less

For a new rider and 1st time buyer this is a great bike. I've owned it for 2 months and have put 1000 miles on it. Starts right up and runs fine. Can run down the hiway at 65 and runs great. People think it's a HD softtail classic and are surprised it's only a 650. It's a keeper. Show less

This is the first bike I've ever owned. I didn't know what to get or even really know how to ride. After looking around and reading reviews I decided on the classic. It's the best move I've ever made. I learned to ride on this bike. It rides perfect and handles well. It could use a little more power but still gets me down the interstate well even at 6ft3in 230lbs. It's a great bike and I would recommend it any day. Thanks Yamaha! Show less

I just bought it yesterday, but I really love it. Handles great, low seat height. Has enough power to go anywhere. I put 130 miles on it today, mostly on the freeway. It went down the freeway between 70 and 80 no problem. No vibration or anything. While I was out today I ordered a new windshield. I'll update this after I put some more miles on. Oh, also I am going to have to get a Mustang seat. Seat comfort only lasts about 30 minutes on the stock seat. Show less
