Faults:

Cold nature to start and throttle response is terrible.

General Comments:

This scooter feels heavy to handle, and with the factory handle bars, very uncomfortable, I'm hoping that after replacing with swept back riser drag bars, it gets better.

The throttle response is poor. I was told after I jet the carburetor and replace the factory exhaust, it will change drastically. So far, I have to say I'm not impressed.

After buying new bars, jet kit and exhaust and labor, I'll have been better off buying something else, in short, factory equipment not good, after market necessities expensive.

Faults:

Nothing really.

General Comments:

I love this bike. His name is Clyde. That's short for Clydesdale. However, all stock bikes are just a good place to start.

Factory installed Dunlops - not my first choice at all. I replaced them with Metzler 880's. A 200% improvement in every way.

I've done far too many modifications to list here. Some for performance, others for handling or simply to make him a little "Perdiyer". Just getting started.

I am far from a kid. I spent 35 years on HD's. I mean a REAL Biker. Nothing wrong with an HD. Unless you're riding it down to the bar to say, Hey baby, I've got a HARLEY.

I highly recommend this bike. Or whatever make or style you choose as long as you're riding it 'cuz you love it. Remember, convertibles are for people who don't have the guts to REALLY feel free.

Faults:

Other than the seat release being cantankerous, I have had virtually no problems with this bike. Although I do sometimes wish it had fuel injection. It is a little cold blooded when the temp gets below 50.

General Comments:

I looked at Harleys before I bought my "Yamahog". But I would have paid TWICE as much to get a comparable bike.

The Road Star is 1600 cc with lots of torque. It has the same basic engine and drive set up as a Harley. Since I installed Cobra Longshot pipes, even my HD riding friends admit that it sounds great!

I love this bike. I think I stole it at $8100.00.
