What do people think of the new Yamaha Roadliner XV1900?

[roadstars]

Been looking at the new Yamaha RoadlinerXV1900 with purchase in mind. Have mixed emotions. What do other people think in regards to the RoadstarXV1600 as opposed to this new RoadlinerXV1900? Would be interested to hear your views on this!

Any chance you have pics of both mate.....

[Hitcher]

It's not a Harley, but that's not a bad thing! Those big Yam cruisers are beautifully built, and if the local distributor got their finger out, they'd sell heaps of them.

This is the 06 model.

Personally id sooner have a Harley or a M109 for the same money.

[Meanie]

If i brought another cruiser id buy another meanie or an M109, Ive had a few older XVs
Good hunting mate

the 07 model.

hi there i have a 2004 roadstar 1600 i love it good bottom end great cruiser 2 up is good 300 plus to a tank and it holds 20liters if you want to go there you can get it off the clock 190 plus cheaper than the 1900 better looking and the new modle is injected so power and economey will be better:rockon:

[roadstars]

Yeah, I think you may be right. I wonder when they're bringing the injected Roadstars into the country? I would love to take one for a ride and compare.

tHAT YAMA 2007 looks like it hit a wall. Its kinda squashed lookin at the front.

Not everyone likes the chopper look mate, some folks like to be able to feel what the front end is doing.



Don't know about that Cigar tube exhaust though (was a nicer term than what first came to mind)
Yamaha makes some great looking cruisers till it comes to the exhuast.

[xwhatsit]

It's quite pretty. The tank is a lovely piece of kit, isn't it, with the Triumph-style chrome stripes...

Some spoked wheels (I don't care how hard they are to clean, it's a cruiser, you're polishing chrome all day anyway :yes:), and then we're talking ^_^

You're right, though, Waylander -- the silencer does kind of look like a wang.

The designers at Star must be chicks...
Some of the women I know do tend to talk about bikes as the 'biggest vibrators they could find" Maybe some decided it should be literal....

[07fatboy]

I sorta like the look of the bike,the only thing off putting is the frontend,guard it dosent look right...nice criuser

the 07 model.

The headlight housing looks like the one off the kwaka 2 litre, uglee . rest of it looks ok

[H00dz]

Its a Yammy nothing else matters :headbang:

[James Deuce]

Gorgeous piece of Streamline Moderne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamline_Moderne) design. It's definitely something I'd like to own, just to look at. If some people can put their 1098 in the living room, then I can have one of those in the living room.

Now thats the right attitude:niceone: your on to it! BTW Roadstars, It's a beautiful piece of kit, go for it.

I agree. Having seen the headlight in the metal it is just as ulgy as the picture.... much prefer the 109. It would be interesting to see how effective the headlight is though.
