2003 Yamaha Road Star Silverado Cruiser reviews

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

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

You can have your FatBoys and your Runes...for overall boulevard bruiser good looks, power, options and comfort...I'll take my Roadie any day!! Simply put, this is a rider's bike. Gobs of torque, and all the bells and whistles one needs to make a ride in relative comfort to Sturgis, Hollister, or wherever the road takes you. The Silverado edition adds great value with the windshield, studded seats (if you like that classic style as I do), backrest and saddle bags. Have taken this baby from northern BC to Sturgis twice now, as well as rides around Washington and Oregon State, never had a problem with anything...just too much fun!! Show less

I bought my 2003 Roadstar Silverado new in 2004. Ater the first ride I fell in love with it. Great torque and power. I have done 400 mile day trips on it with never a problem. Even if I got a new bike I wouldn`t sell this one, she`s a keeper. Show less

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. Show less

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! Show less

I put only 1000m on mine last year but every time I got on it was a thrill. I am a big guy, 300plus and this bike fits me fine. I don't recommend this bike for a smaller first time rider it's a lot of bike. It has a lot of power, and a lot of torque. This bike turns a lot of heads to boot. I am happy with my Road Star, ride safe. Show less

I purchased my Silver Edition late summer of this year (2003), however it didn't take me long to get it on the road for a great run. The weekend after I bought my bike I did the Iron Butt Run (1,500 miles,36 hours) an hour after I arrived home the following day a fellow rider asked if I would to go for a short run. I said OK lets ride, we put on another 300 km that evening. Can't beat the comfort of this bike is't great!!!!!! Show less
