2003 Yamaha Road Star Cruiser reviews

I've been riding almost 60 years and owned everything from a Honda 50 to a Gold Wing and several Harley Ultras..... This thing is like a two-wheeled car......too big, too heavy and too ponderous in traffic. Look for something less....... Show less

I bought my 2003 Road Star Silverado Silver Edition in October of 2011. I rode it all of 2012 and I will tell you this is the nicest bike I have been on to date. It has loads of power, even two up, and I am a big guy. I love the look, feel, way it handles and the power is amazing. I bought it with 7,000 miles and the 2,000 I put on it was a joy. I putting on passenger floorboards for the lady, Baron Highway bars with pegs for me and looking forward to another season. It's a great bike!! Show less

I've had #31 of 1,600 for about eight months now and I am very pleased with the bike. It was completely stock when I purchased it and it still is. Why mess with perfection? I was looking for a Harley RoadKing when I came across this beautiful bike and it was pretty much a no-brainer. It has better looks, more power and is by far the best value on the road today and for years to come. Show less

It's the best handling and riding bike I have ever owned. It's super fast, what a pleasure to ride. Show less

So far so good. I bought it used from a police captain who no longer rode in 2008. I had a Yamaha V Star 650 Silverado but wanted a bit more horses and more comfort for the wife. Boy, did I get a deal. I thought the 650 was a nice bike, but the RoadStar has it beat. Everyone that has seen this bike can't stop commenting on how nice it looks. The only negative and this is pretty much for any bike, is the rider and passenger seat. While more comfortable than other stock seats, I will replace mine so my wife has more room. The stock passenger seat is only nine inches wide. Aftermarket ones are 13 to 14 inches so more room equals more comfort. Plus rider seat will sit 'more in the seat' and not on it. Show less

This bike rides great and sounds awesome. My wife loves to ride on it too. It has lots of power. Show less

I had the honor of owning one of these great beasts, but unfortunately, lost it in my divorce. I did, however, before losing the bike get to do some great and distant runs one of which was almost 2,000 miles! From Bellingham, WA to Victorville, CA, in November of '03 on a weekend when there was constant precipitation, from ice and rain, to fog and snow. I saw it all beginning with the relentless Washington rain and the Oregon mountains' black ice to snow in Northern California, rain on its coast and heavy fog in the Fresno area; the elements never let up! During that 40 hour marathon run, although I lamented endlessly over the evils of nature, my silver Road Star never complained, never let me down, did everything I commanded of it and delivered me to my destination safe, unrattled and filled with pleasant memories of a great adventure on the ultimate cruiser!

I just bought a one-owner 2003 Road Star Warrior less than a week ago and love it! I thought about buying this bike for quite some time, and now with a little more experience under my belt, own it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a hot metric V-twin. It has loads of power, is beautifully designed and is seriously a piece of artwork! I am 100% satisfied with the performance, ride, cornering and comfort (Corbin seat). I would buy another Warrior without hesitation. Show less

I love this bike! It couldn't be any more comfortable. It has a great stretched out riding position. My uncles Dyna Wide Glide felt too tall, my Budz Soft Tail felt kinda cramped and my Chopper budz Big Dog vibrated itself to oblivion. It cracked the front head bolt and almost killed him. My ROADSTAR ROCKS! Now I need more power!! PIPES AND JET KIT to come soon! Show less

I have # 385/1600 with over 28000 miles I've enjoyed every trouble free mile. Last July we rode from Weiser, Idaho to the Glacier National Park in Montana and no problems. Sylvia is one Hell of a bike. Show less
