Yamaha Road Star

Demo Ride Impressions:

    Rides great, corners decent, stops well.  This bike has a huge amount of power, unfortunately the bike may be too well engineered.  It's insanely quiet and smooth for the amount of power it's kicking out.  You can get up to highway speeds in a heartbeat and a half without ever feeling the engine stain.  The rev limited was a little tricky to get used to.  Don't even consider trying to pin the throttle from a dead stop - the engine will cut out before you get moving.

    The Yamaha Demo Rides was slower than slow.  The most fun we had was winding up the throttle and watching the rev limited kick in.
