2013 Yamaha reviews

I bought a used 2013 Vino 50 for 600 bucks off of Craigslist. Took it home and cleaned it up and it looks good. It runs good with 6,000 miles on it. I have it rigged up to carry my fishing and camping gear so off to the lake one go! Great leisure machine. Show less

don't know how I am the only one here with a review of the FJR1300 since 2009 but this bike is quite the sport tourer. Sadly, I haven't logged many miles since I only got it this season but it just rocks. Coming from an '09 FZ6, this bike has gobs of power in all five gears. It has smooth power, yet pulls. My only gripes with this bike are the sheer weight of this beast and the handlebar setup. Nothing to do about the weight but a relatively cheap pair of risers brought the bars up nicely and make it more comfortable for sure. Trying to get used to moving this beast around my garage is no small feat. I just ordered the park and move dolly to help with that. Show less

After riding only Cruisers for the past seven years, I decided I needed a change. I spoke to the folks at a couple of local dealers and narrowed my search down to either the Suzuki Gladius or the Yamaha FZ6R. I got a much better trade in value for my V-Star 1300 Tourer from the folks at Yamaha and they also were asking $1,500 less than the Suzuki dealer was asking for the Gladius. Needless to say I went with the FZ6R. It was quite a change in riding style and position from my previous bike. After a couple of hours of riding however, I was able to get more comfortable with the FZ6R's higher seating and more nimble handling. The dash display was well positioned for easy viewing and it's nice having a fuel gauge for a change. The FZ6R handles the wind and open roads quite well considering how much lighter the bike is compared to the Star 1300. Shifting is not as smooth but getting used to it quickly. Fun factor is very high (can't wait to hop on it again). Engine power is not intimidating but by no means weak either; this bike has more than enough power to entertain most if not all riders. I will update my review after the 600-mile service but so far the bike is great and would highly recommend. Show less

I bought my Stryker back in June. I love this bike! After I put 2,000 miles on it, I installed pipes/tuner/programmer, for performance, a HID headlight, so I can see better at night and LED's everywhere to make it really stand out at night. I absolutely love it! I have ridden quite a few bikes, but the Stryker is a top performer, and can keep up, and beat quite a few Harleys. The bike has amazing curves and the Cobra swept pipes just add to the overall Prostreet look. I have also gone to a 240 series tire and it looks great on the back! It's a great machine! Show less

This bike is incredible. I went from an R6 up to this beast of a Stryker. I thought the handling would be so much worse but really it just glides into and through corners. Once you get a custom exhaust, intake and chip, the bike can finally open up and show you what it really has. The comfort of the bike blew me away. Comfort and speed!? (It topped out at around 128 though). The curb appeal of this bike is drastic; the amount of complements is never ending. Everyone that I've let ride it has just been amazed. "If I ever were to go from a sport bike to a cruiser it would be that bike" has been said more than a few times. It was an excellent purchase. Show less
