The 2009 Stratoliner S that I have is very powerful, quick, comfortable, stylish, with agility.
I have ridden motorcycles for 50 years and am 61 years old. The Stratoliner is the travel version of the roadliner. The only thing that I can think of that I would change about the Stratoliner is for the motorcycle to have increased breathing for the cooling system. It has an
1854 CC / 113.1 Ci engine that requires optimum cooling.

I can't begin to explain what an incredible performer this bike is. Over mtn. passes (11,000 ft. Monarch in CO, for example) on twisties, in 100 degree plus heat, never a miss. I will add fairing when I can afford it, but for now, I'll keep enjoying every pulse of the strats powerhouse twin, its balance and smoothness. A big TX 'hats off' to Yamaha for making the best cruiser you can ride.

Just upgraded from a V-Star Silverado 650. A bit nervous about the size difference, but after an extended test ride felt very comfortable. This bike is a joy to ride and look at. After several Yamahas and Hondas this is the ultimate cruiser. Very smooth, handles very easily. Fast, stable and throaty. Corners surprisingly well for such a big bike. Only issues are the relatively small bags and the slight glare at night from the instrument panel. Almost perfect, and the most fun I have had on a motorcycle (after 40 years of riding).

We have not been on a bike in 31 years and were concerned about being able to handle such a big motorcycle, but this bike is a dream to ride. It handles great and has no vibration. The power is unbelieveable. She wished the back seat had more comfort and I need a back rest bad. The glare on the winshield for the guages is bad at night. But over all we love it.

Traded in a V-Star 110 (which was a great bike) in May on a new Stratoliner. I have put over 9,000 miles on it in 3 1/2 months and I absolutely love it. Rides great, has plenty of power, and incredible amounts of torque. I am a much more confident rider in curves and on hills, because the bike feels more planted, it goes where you point it and feels glued to the road. It has quicker passing power than anything I have ever ridden, which makes passing slower vehicles on 2 lanes much easier. It goes from 55 to about 85 in a heartbeat. It always starts, gets 46-50 mpg at 65, about 43-46 mpg on the interstates (around 75mph). It feels light riding it around town. It is very easy to turn around in the road at low speeds, it is easy to forget how much it actually weighs. It also gets a lot of respect from the people I ride with (Mostly H-D riders). I really love the looks and style (it is a little different), the stock seat is very good (for stock), but I plan to get a Mustang seat with a drivers back rest in the spring. There is a lot of roominess with the floorboards that allow you to move your feet around on (I can complete straighten my legs out on the front of the boards, or put them directly underneath me at the back), so there are a lot of options for the rider. If you are thinking about a big cruiser, I strongly recommend this one, it's a keeper.
