YAMAHA reviews

It is a basic motorcycle this very little to go wrong. It is an old school bike that uses a carburetor with is an advantage if you ever have a battery that is running low on start power because you can get it rolling and just pop the clutch to get it started. That does not work on more modern fuel injected bikes. Handles exceptionally on back roads and on dirt roads which are common in the more northern New England areas. Plenty of power on hills and easily keeps up with traffic and can out accelerate a lot of the so called hot cars. Show less

Found a 2005 v star 1100 and pick it up for $1200. The couple didn't ride any more and were happy to see it go. Ended up selling it for $2900 just a couple weeks later. It was a great bike, but I didn't really think it was for me. Just a year later, since I had $$, I started looking for another bike. Found my 07 v star 1300 sitting on a street corner that had been there for awhile ( about 8 months). Once I was able to find the owner and test ride it ,found out it had a dead cylinder. Anyway, after agreeing with the owner that I would purchase the bike if I could take it to a shop and get it running, he allowed me to take it and 7 days and $107 later, the bike was mine. It is a perfect fit for me. I even tried to sell it but it's mine. So I ended up buying a trailer for it to be able to do some traveling with it. Show less

I like my 2022 Bolt r spec. Great bang for the buck bike. Perfect for my rides up and down the coast around Pt. Mugu and around the canyons close to Malibu. Yes there are better bikes but they will cost you more $$$$! More When I can dump $30k on a Harley then I’ll go for it… until then my bolt will suffice! For $8k Show less

Awesome bike all around ... no words to describe how happy I'm. It took me years or riding to realize this was the right bike for me. I'm 60 yrs, 5'7", 190 lbs and it's just perfect balance for on and off-road fun. Bike is 2015, looks incredibly brand new and even better than other actual new bikes. Economical and bullet proof built. I just replaced the tires with new original Bridgestone rubber and very happy with it, no need for anything else. No need for more or less ... Ideal for short to mid range distances, 50 miles or so radius. For far away trips, I just haul the bike in my pickup truck to anywhere I want to ride and rest is awesome fun!! Show less

I loved my vino. I’d like to purchase a second vino. But I’m having a hard time finding one. It was my main vehicle, and with all my heart I really want another in my life. It’s a brilliant machine. The maker designer of the vino is a genius Show less

I have owned a 2017 Yamaha scr950 for over two years and it's has been an exceptional motorcycle. I have used it to go back and forth to work and it does a good job in all weather conditions and good on gas mileage at 51 miles average a gallon. No complaints here I would own another one just like it if I decided to. Very low maintenance on this bike. I have $24,000 miles so far and still going strong Show less

I have owned 2 bikes before the FZ1; the '07 Kawi z750s, and the 03 Kawi ZZR1200. This is by far the most fun and comfortable bike I've ever owned. Super light and nimble feeling. It has enough power to bring the front end up with no problem, yet smooth enough throttle where it never happens by accident. Never ran too hot, as apposed to both of my Kawis that would cook my legs. The main complaint is that there isn't enough aftermarket support for the naked bikes as apposed to the sport bikes. Nonetheless, the FZ/MT line of bikes are a great choice! Show less

This is my 3rd FJR. Had an 1100, 1200 and now 1300. Love the adjusable wind screen. The original saddle was too rigid for me so I bought a Sargents saddle . $750ish. Also handlebars were a reach, so I sprung for a riser kit that raised the bars 1 1/4 " and pulled it back 2". $300 well spent. Good purchase, no regrets. Show less

Beautiful bike handles wonderful I’ve loved Yamaha from the beginning so I finally bought one. I bought this bike brand new and it has just been a great bike to ride. The only beef I have with it is that it is sometimes uncomfortable on long haul you’re in an extremely forward café position. It’s aggressive position to ride in. Great for the track but not the most comfortable for long holes. Performance is excellent qualities excellent reliabilities is excellent. Never had a mechanical issue at all starts every time bike took good care of me I owned it for 10 years, I would definitely buy Yamaha again Show less
