roadstar warrior

I'd hit the Warrior for sure. It wears sports bike profile tyres for one thing, so you can put some gnarly rubber on it.
Of all cruisers to date, the Warrior is my hands down fav, it looks nice, it's 1700cc, its a Yamaha (says me with 2 suzukis).

All the reputable, and non biased motorcycle publications have been, and I quote "pleasantly surprised" by its capability in general. The torque is beastly, the handling not like a cruiser in a lot of ways, and the styling speaks for its self, its a bruiser, no two ways about it.

Sorry to dredge up 8 day old thread, but I missed this when it was made.

They are a nice bike alright, for me it was the choice between the yamaha and the meanie, i chose the meanie caus it was there on the day and available, no regrets
One thing to watch for, you probably already know, i constanly scrape the footpegs on the meanie because of lack of ground clearance the cruiser is a whole different ride with a lot less aggression into the corners, i think the warrior has a little more clearance
Good luck

I'm not sure that clearance is too much of an issue; I hardly ever scrape the pegs anymore. I think its because my riding style has adapted to the bike: Whereas I used to lean her over, I now make use of the straight line acceleration... its 'mellow into the corner and full-power away'. My feeling is Get the Cruiser that appeals to you most - visually... that way you'll spend less on aftermarket do-dads

I did a 450 km run on the week end and managed to keep the pegs off the seal and still use most of the tyre surface
You do get used to you bike and begin to know its limitations after a while and i have to say
The meanie sure is a nice cruiser
