2010 Yamaha Road Star S 1700 Cruiser reviews

Bike had some aftermarket parts to include pipes, air filter and PC5 but she doesn't run worth a crap took her back to the dealer and they replaced the fouled plugs and supposedly cleaned the air filter but the bike has less than 5000 miles on her so I am a little suspect on that. Never the less the bike is just not right and don't know what else to do. I spoke with the Dyno Jet folks several times and have tried everything they told me to do and to no avail still lunges backfires and looses power before quiting . Show less

I've been on a lot of bikes over the yrs. I baught the raider just to have as a bare cruiser to go with my Victory XC bagger. I was amazed by this bike. My raider has a vance hines 2 into 1, cobra fi 2000 and bam air mod. So here we go: (1) Handles like a Vic Jackpot. Feels lighter than a HD sportster. (2) Holy torque! Who cares about a 6th gear. Most fun I've had on a bike. With very few mods this bike is a beast. (3) Looks amazing! Bikers ask what it is all the time. Test ride it and you'll be shocked (4) It's cheap to own. NEED I SAY MORE! Best foreign bike out there. I'll always have a vic bagger since I ride long distances but I'll also have a raider for fun. First review on a non-US cruiser ever and it deserves it Show less

I bought mine in June, 2012 with 430 miles on it and now, mid-October, 2012, I just turned 4,000 miles. Comfortable - I rode it 420 miles to Florida in one day last month. Economical - I can't get less than 53 mpg. no matter how I ride it, and it looks great. It's very stable at speed and the windshield does a great job of diverting wind and bugs around me. My only complaint is the engine is a little "rattley" I'm assured by many that it is valve noise and perfectly normal. It just takes some getting used to. Show less

It's a great touring bike especially with 2 up. The stock passenger seat is a little stiff. I will upgrade soon. I have ridden and scraped almost every turn on the dragon. It's not a crotch rocket by any means. I get compliments on the styling everywhere I go. It has plenty of power to keep up with the big boys. It has great fuel economy and reliability and it's very comfortable for larger riders. Show less

The Yamaha is the best road bike on the road as of today. As I am a former deputy in LA County, Ca., and have ridden Harleys and BMWs, I like your bike. Today I am trying to get another one. Right now I don't know if I can get it yet. Thanks for your web site. Show less

It's a very comfortable bike. I rode from Connecticut to Baltimore, Maryland one month after purchasing the bike. I rode along with multiple Harley Davidson bikes and my Yamaha performed flawless. Show less

I love the power and response it has from the fuel injection. The comfort and stance make it so relaxing and enjoyable and the detail and features on the bike make it an eye catcher. Show less

It's a great riding bike, easy to ride and has a nice stock, throaty sound. It's comfortable to ride although the driver's seat did get a little rough after 150 miles. On a serious curve, you might drag the floorboards but not bad. Show less

I bought this bike yesterday. I rode it all afternoon. It's smooth, comfortable and has plenty of power. It handles good in rain. Show less

I traded a 2008 650 Custom, it's the best thing I did. The only drawback was the seats. I put on some Mustangs, now it's great to ride. It's a great touring bike and it handles great. Show less
