2003 Yamaha TT-R125LE

I got this new in 2003, TTR125LE, and it was the first dirt bike I ever rode. It's amazing for starters, and really anyone. If you have a 250/450 this bike is amazing for play. The suspension is really set for trails, over jumps it bottoms out. Handling feels secure and the weight isn't bad (179 dry, about 185-190 with liquids). Power is sufficient almost always, especially for beginners-intermediate riders. Braking is excellent (front disk 220mm and rear 110 mm drum, non-Large models have front and rear drum braking). Exhaust sounds nice stock and so does after market exhaust, definitely for those watching you, seeing as they don't have muffling helmets on. The seat height is 31.7" making it very accessible. Hope this helped :)

This bike is definately no speed machine, but it will get you there and back with no problems. I am very satisfied with the reliablility. It will pull wheelies in second gear, but you really have to crank the throttle. The speed is fine for me. Overall I love this...

2003 Yamaha V Star 1100 Classic

Bought the used V Star 1100 about 2 weeks ago after not riding for nearly 24 years. (Only rode a Suzuki 450 for about a year). This V Star had 5100 miles, garage kept in mint condition, and with all the upgrades previous owner installed, I couldn't pass it up at a very reasonable price. Took the...

Bought the used V Star 1100 about 2 weeks ago after not riding for nearly 24 years. (Only rode a Suzuki 450 for about a year). This V Star had 5100 miles, garage kept in mint condition, and with all the upgrades previous owner installed, I couldn't pass it up at a very reasonable price. Took the MSF class and finally took her out for trial runs a few days ago. All I can say is WOW, what a great motorcycle. Ran great, plently of V-Twin power on demand, easy cruising at 60mph in low 5th gear (almost felt like she wanted to run in 4th at that speed). Shifting was very positive, shaft drive smooth as silk, stock seat was good, but would need to be changed for very long rides. Great bike.

I'm a new rider, and I have to tell you, if this is the way someone is supposed to feel when riding, I will ride for the rest of my life. I am the second owner of my R6, because the 1st owner didn't have time for it, but he has a lot of compliments for it, he loved it and he praised it; he was sad...

I am the second owner of my R6, because the 1st owner didn't have time for it, but he has a lot of compliments for it, he loved it and he praised it; he was sad when he sold it to me, and I was the happiest man in the world, what a great machine! Flies through corners and is fairly comfortable. I honestly feel like I can get out of any bad situation on the road when I'm on this bike. Great choice!

It makes riding effortless and if you could compare the ride it is like driving a cadillac. The torque is amazing, and even tough it is way too much bike for my abitility it is nice to know that you have all that power on demand. The suspension is great too.

2003 Yamaha V Star 1100 Silverado

Since the V-Star was introduced, my dream bike has been the 650 Classic, mostly because I could afford it. When I saw this used 1100 at the shop where I was about to buy an '06, I fell in love. I came off of a Suzuki 650 and I'm so glad I chose the 1100. It is smooth riding, doesn't scream at me...

I came off of a Suzuki 650 and I'm so glad I chose the 1100. It is smooth riding, doesn't scream at me at 75 MPH, and easily carries a passenger. If you can afford the 1100, don't pass it up!

Bought my 2003 in December of 2004. This is my first cruiser ever and first bike in almost 20 years. Kept it stock until I returned from the Rolling Thunder ride in May of 2005. What a terrific ride for almost 6000 miles on that trip from Las Vegas to DC and back. Not a single problem! After my trip I started to investigate upgrades. I am quite proud of my Silverado and I receive numerous compliments. It has plenty of power and just looks great. I plan on keeping this one for quite awhile.

I purchased it new in 2004 and I really am super pleased with it! I'm so satisfied with my 2003; bad for Yamaha, I don't even consider a new one. Why should I? My daily one-way commute is 65 miles and I've ridden my Road Star in the worst of thunderstorms, heavy rain, cold weather, and heavy Wash., DC traffic (not to mention my recent 4K round trip to "Sturgis 2005"). Like many others, the wait for warm-up is more than I like, but I've learned to just ride off with the choke partially on for about a mile, then push it the rest of the way in and ride on. It's a solid ride with plenty of power and stability -- I highly recommend it more for experienced riders, though, because of the weight and power!

2003 Classic 650. Purchased new in June 2005 from a dealer. First long ride was 950 miles and I was sore. (don't think I'll do an iron butt.) The seat is now broken in and quite comfy. Runs and pulls really well. Two up can be a little doggy going uphill, but hey, it's a 650. Solo, it is a great...

Runs and pulls really well. Two up can be a little doggy going uphill, but hey, it's a 650. Solo, it is a great bike. I'm getting 50mpg around town and 44 on the road at a steady 75mph. It handles great and is quite nimble in the curves. I love the low seat height as it creates a low center of gravity.
