Yamaha Stratoliner description
|
Selling my cruiser. Going to Russia soon, and need money for the trip. This is a great bike, one of the best I ever had, and I have had them all.
The closest thing I could compare the power with is a V-Max. Not as much, but plenty to be quite surprising, you can smoke the tire in second gear easily. Any harley not built, and you can just walk off and leave them. I had a soft tail last year, and took to sturgis. I scattered parts for 3,000 miles and trailered it back. So I bought something that would not fall apart on a long trip. I have taken it to arizona for the Laughlin River run, for a week. Not a miss, not a stumble or any sort of anything getting loose. Several other local runs of a couple hundred miles or so. It is a beautiful bike, I get compliments on it all the time. Especially from old ladies for some reason. :) You can be in the triple digits before you know it. It runs steady, smooth and strong easily at 100. 80 on the freeway is like nothing, you can lean back and drive with two fingers. The low end power is amazing. It has that v twin torque, from idle to redline, it pulls very strongly. You dont have to wind up anything, just crank it on, and you are gone. No vibration hardly at all. There was a bit of buzz in the grips, but I put foam ones on, and that was it. It cuts through pot holes and bad road like it was not even there. It steers very well, it is stable in long sweepers or sharp twisties. It is not a canyon carver, but it has good suspension, and plenty of clearance. I have only been able to scrape the floorboard in a corner one time, and I have ridden the bike several thousand miles, and many times tried to. It does not seem to care if it is one rider, or two with full gear packed everywhere, it just moves out. Gas mileage is very good, with nifty counter that starts counting miles backwards when you hit reserve. The exhaust is throaty but quiet. You can tell it is a big motor. When you open it up, it definately make a big vtwin roar. The yamaha guys put a servo in the muffler to give it more power at low end, but open up when at high rpm. Nice touch, Fuel injected, no misses and accurate fuel delivery at any speed. No popping or backfiring on de-accelerate. I hate that. The lights are very good, you can see very well at night at crusing speeds. I prefer a light bar, but have not got around to installing one. Paint and finish is near perfect, near flawless as far as I can see. Windshield is not scratched or fogged up. The quick release on the window and bags works very well, and they hold very securely. There is one tiny dent in front fender where it looks like prior owner dropped a tool or something, paint is not chipped or scratched. All the chrome is good, no pitting or rusting starting anywhere. I have the stock backrest and pad that fits, and also a small rack that I modified to fit for carrying a touring bag. The bags are surprisingly big. You can get a half helmet in easily and a lot of other junk. plenty big for cover, chaps, several pairs of gloves, sweater and coat in one side. My wrist got tired on long trips so I put a good throttle lock on it, easily engages and disengages with a flick of the thumb. It has new tires front and back, and oil has been recently changed with new filter. all the rubber, hoses, floor boards, pegs and so forth are pretty much like new. I do have some gps, and camera mounts that fit these huge 1 1/4 inch bars, I will give you if you want. I will also include a small stock Yamaha pack bag that fits nicely on the luggage rack. I put on a set of risers that moves the bars up about an inch, and about an inch backwards. This made it perfectly comfortable for me. The stock position for me may have been good without a windshield, but hurt my back after couple hours with it on. The best thing is there is no buffetting or wobble even at high speeds. I put a set of lowers on it that I had painted to match the bike. They are great in cold weather, and the extra two storage spaces hold plenty of phones, glasses, bandanas or whatever. They are quickly detachable. The guard bars are stock Yamaha bars, very heavy, good chrome and sturdy. As far as I know the bike has never been down, the previous owner said no. I did fall over in the parking lot 2 minutes after buying it. :) That thing is heavy if you are not ready for it. No damage of course, I did catch it. Small rash on the clutch lever end, not sure what caused that. Couple skuffs on the bags, but a little conditioner, you dont even notice. One was from a front tire on a pickup when I was splitting lanes. Anyway, there is so much good about the bike, it is hard to tell. I will upload some more photos over the next few days, and add to the description. Plates are about expired so I will put it on non op here in california. I will be happy to work with your shipper, but you could fly out and drive it anywhere you have the stamina to go. I am starting the bid at a little less than I have in it. But when it sells it is gone. I have it listed here locally for $6500. If you ever wanted a super bike cruiser, this is one. It is heavy about 900 pounds, but balanced well. I am 5'10" and put both feet flat with knees bent. It might be a handful for some of our shorter buddies, but of course that is up to you. The motor is very low compared to a harley, so even if comparable weight, it feels much lighter. Oh brand new battery too, actually I got two by mistake, so I will include another new battery with the sale. |

Scott Russell Returning To Yamaha Champions Riding School Next Week
Wed, 10 Sep 2014This just in from the Yamaha Champions Riding School: the Champ is back! As many of you know, Scott fell off a dirtbike and tumbled around long enough to hurt himself back in July. But he just called and drawled, “I’ll be back for the school as soon as I’m able to ride…let’s fill it up and have some fun!” With the final round of the AMA SuperBike series coming to New Jersey Motorsports Park this weekend, it’s a perfect time for Mr.
Used Review: Dainese Jerico R winter gloves
Fri, 04 Mar 2011DAINESE JERICO-R Being stuck up a mountain with your bike buried to the pegs in snow is not the best place to be a week before Christmas, especially when its 1200kms from home. Only owning perforated summer gloves is also far from ideal. This is the situation I found myself in and seeing as everything in Italy costs a million Euros, I wasn’t prepared to spend a fortune on a set of discontinued Oxford heated grips from the local motocross shop. A very pretty girl called Fanny at Chitrrai Yamaha, near Perugia, showed me the winter glove options.
Suzuka Eight Hour capers
Mon, 05 Sep 2011Chatting to TT legend John McGuiness recently about his first Suzuka Eight Hour experience got me thinking of a few capers the boys and me managed a few years back at what is still Japan's most important race of the season. It is a unique event that starts at 11am and finishes at 7pm making it a pukka endurance race as the last hour is run with headlights on in the dark. It is essentially an eight hour sprint that showcases the trickest endurance machinery and manufacturer’s sales can be affected the following year depending on who wins or loses.
