Is it me, or is every one of Sean's favorite bikes, the one he is currently doing a video on?
Because they're all flippin cool! 🏍
Yup, that’s it
Maybe, juuuust mayyyyybeeee it's because "yeah, I don't know... buy that bike, I guess" doesn't sell bikes that well? This is a business, not some independent reviewer.
@@mx5701 I feel like I saw this comment elsewhere as well
Yep
I have a strat with 122,000 km that's about 75,000 miles and the bike just keeps getting better with every mile I've had it since new
Love this bike
It's not a fake harley. It's a real yamaha. As a rice burner fanatic, coming from dirt bikes and fast streetbikes, my natural evolution was to a v star 1300. I chose it over this for great gas mileage. I love my yamaha!
My V Star has been absolutely amazing. I can't believe it was less than $13K for that much bike. I would love to get some seat time on a Stratoliner or a Roadliner.
@@baltsosser come to Missouri and I'll let you ride my through the Ozarks.
@@lucacaileanu8989 The Ozarks are a pretty nice part of the country. I do indeed enjoy riding in that part of the world.
I'm on a 2014 Strat, and I have told many an HD guy that if they want me to own a Harley...let's race for pinks.
Same here I went from a 2011 ZX10R, to a SM510R Supermoto and now I'm completely into huge V-Twins like the Yamaha with true dual exhausts. 😍👍
Ezekiel 38:7 “Thou shalt prepare thy self and thy MIRRORS before thou ridest thy motorcycle!”
He's using a reverse cam on his hud probably, prob why he said "thing of the past"
😂😂😂
🤣
Bikers that purchase this Motorcycle is definitely not for the badge .... it’s cause they want a real bike ☝️
I bought a Yamaha Royal Star tour deluxe for that reason. I wanted a real bike to enjoy and ride not be in the bar boys club with branded overpriced clothing to complete the look.
I love the look of the bike from the riders pov, that wide bar and that magnificent speedometer , I love it, want this so bad
I had to watch a couple times cause that mirror kept distracting me waiting and waiting for you to fix it
I was thinking.."What is the deal with turning the mirrors all the time??".
Just picked one of these up yesterday a 2008 in silver. Stunning.
Looking forward to the fun in the spring.
Just bought a Stratoliner on vacation in Florida. Next day rode it home to Tennessee. Love this bike and a great upgrade from my VTX1300R.
I sold mine and now I regret it. I have after market pipes and leather saddle bags. I offered them to the guy who bought the bike for free. he won't even come and get them.
I also Upgraded from a VTX 1300R to my 2012 Strat in 2020. Had 5192 miles on it. Brand new basically. Yammy is a great bike and I had 2 harleys at the same time before the VTX. Of course the Star Venture does look excellent also. Salute'
I had a v star 1100, it was nice, I watched your video here and typed in stratoliner here in havre, I got a 2008 stratoliner with 10k miles for 4500!!
It's so fantastic and it beats my v star hands down. Dig your videos man!
4500, motorcycles are cheap in the USA
@@markwhite6001 Tell me about it, in Australia that bike would cost $15,000
I sold my Roadliner Midnight and regret it. That bike got more looks and compliments than you could ever imagine, and to boot, it was an absolute beast and 100% reliable.
Do you think it could be a first bike option? I love all about this bike it seems perfect.
@@seselapaz.... If you could find one in good shape, yes. It's a big bike for sure, but very controllable. Very reliable.
I would start with a roadster 650 or a little bigger
I really wanted one of these, but then I found a low mileage Valkyrie Interstate and had to do that instead. My findings are that windscreens are actually nice, especially for long trips. Roadliner are nice bikes though.
I own the Roadliner S. It has a lot of torque and speed. The ride is GREAT.
I own a 2014 Strat S, and it's basically a Roadliner most of the time, and a fully touring Stratoliner when I need it to be. I have two different height windshields, (Memphis lowers for buffeting), and a full-face helmet for riding without one at all, obviously the sissy bar is detachable, and I made the bags truly detachable without that ugly ass bar underneath.
With the back seat removed, it just looks like a monster, -especially after I lowered it-, and with aftermarket exhaust and updated intake this thing screams.
I've told plenty of Harley dudes that if they want me to own a Harley so bad, let's race for pinks.
I just bought a 2006 a few days ago after not riding for years. Fell in love with it immediately, even through she promptly reminded me that I have a lot of ring rust to shake off before I can really handle her. The throttle feels a little touchy and turning at low speed is a little dicey for me, but my comfort and confidence levels are increasing quickly. Btw, I'm 5'7" and have no trouble with comfort or holding her up while stopped. The hardest part was just figuring out the sweet spot for feathering the clutch and throttle. Can't wait to get home from work this morning and take her out for a before-bed spin.
Hi. How do you compare this bike with a Honda VTX1800? What I meant is. Wich one is better and quicker?
My father had one of these. It hauled ass for a giant cruiser. I couldn't believe how well it handled. It had a problem leaking oil, but I believe the dealer fixed it for no charge(maybe a recall).
My dad has Stratoliner and I service it. Need to get it going for him this year and do a review. Yamaha does it right with their motorcycles.
Except that they stopped producing all their cruiser bikes :(
I've had one since 2006 in black this out Harleys Harley it's a tongue in cheek fun ride love it to pieces it's in it's winter coat at the moment but polishes up superb.
this is my fav bike...what do i do with my other 2?...im 65 and fit...i am close to retirement as well....what do i tell my wife? ive already ignored her many times....i love my zx14r and i like my vulcan bagger....the vucan is mint but high mileage so had rebuttals when tried to trade,,,,the zx14r is fast and threatens my liscense and my reflexes...please help and trade both even if i do live in West Australia
Finally somebody that wears gloves when doing a test ride. Stay safe brother
Great videos. I have a '12 and LOVE IT! Would like to find a windshield that works for me for long trips though :)
Why is it every time I watch a video I want a new bike!? Sick bike
Yamaha xv 1900 or honda vtx 1800 in terms of build quality and reliability and bumps in road and cornering etc what is the better bike?
"Its a man! Oh.. its just Sean." Lol dude you crack me up.
My old mz ts 125 had a little slide on the headlight to reveal an ignition similar to that and that was 35 yrs ago. Cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
Omggggg first I wanted that red V Star 1 300 you showed us now I want this one!! Must... find... liner 😁
I test rode a 2012 Roadliner a couple of summers ago: beautiful and powerful bike, but the one thing it absolutely needed was a windshield. I tried to find a Stratoliner to test ride for comparison but never did. It also needed a sixth gear. My 1600 Nomad cruises at a lower rpm on the highway than the Roadliner--which is probably why I didn't aggressively look for a Strat to test ride.
Hello I currently have a 2008 nomad 1600 and looking at a 2013 stratoliner s. Is that a good upgrade or the Kawasaki is a better bike? My kawasaki has 14000 miles only.
so this bike is peppy bc i has less miles than the black stratoliner?
I appreciate how Sean honors the One who created gravity, the laws of inertia and made riding on 2 wheels possible.
I have an 06. High compression, 4 valve, hemi. God I love this thing!
Glad I rode my vmax for yrs before getting a raider. Still have to watch myself a little.
I want to get one. It’s a 2006 with 50.000 km ( 31.000miles). I heard some rumors that they have some issues with 3rd gear. What’s your opinion on this ? Thank you !
Beautiful bike. I got an xv1600 my self and love it.
Even stock is good but i also turbocharged my carburated 1999, got revmaster, barnett clutch and roadwing rear shock. With 100hp/200nm from tire it's si cosy to ride and goes like train.
Would like to test this 1900👍🏻
Love your videos Brother. I have to get one of these massive Yamahammers. No matter what I see when bike shopping I always end up saying “Oh yeah, what’s that?” Yamaha on the tank.
Dec 7th 2021 is SRK Cycles down for good or under construction?
Ivan’s Performance does a great upgrade to this engine, he will ship you the parts and instructions and it transforms the bike.
I wanna know the difference between a Yamaha road king.
And a yamaha raider. And which one your pick. Cause I'm about to buy one and I want to know.
Tks for the word!!💒
The countyside is beautiful , great videos my friend
Do you recommended it as a first bike?
Would this be good for a 11 hour ride with a passenger?
That fucking kick from putting your shoe on had me rolling for about 5 minutes straight...
That black and cherry color combo is sweet!
Vtx1800 or the stratoliner/Roadliner? Similar miles and years. What do you think srk?
Sold ! I want one ! Sweet bike. 👍😍
I own one and I love it it has tons of power and every Harley guy that drives it loves it
When he pulled out of the dealer ship the sales men must have been laughing there asses off hahaha
Great review. Beautiful bike
What's the title if this vid again?
Love the Roadliner!
Sean, I've watched this video a few times now, and every time I say, out loud; "Sean, please, please, get a wrench and lock down the Mirror!" 😂
Correction: BOTH MIRRORS! ✌️ 😎
"What are these papers on the floor?!?" Lmao
Had one didnt really care for it except for the biggness of it and how wide it felt ,then i rode a raider and absolutely fell in love with it,raider hunting now
How would you compare to the Strat to the big Indians or to any particular Harley models? I want to get a reference / general idea
Helo from México! Do You think that Bike is for a beginner men?
That motor sounds lovely. I love big V-twins for their laid-back feel.
I can't begin to keep up with all the new bikes. But isn't there a 2.2 liter Triumph out there? Seems like I read about it a few years ago.
A roadking that looks good without bags. Nice bike!
😁😁😁 I'm glad I finally got me one HD was tired of that draining my pockets I finally wised up😊
dude, love your videos, but screaming over the enginesound while accelerating sucked!. Thank you, have a great day
I truly think The Roadstar series of bikes are underated compared to its competitors. You truly gotta ride one in order to understand how comfortable and powerful these bikes are I currently own an 04 Roadstar and enjoy taking her everywhere weather it be downtown Toronto or Northern Ontario and if you are considering this bike you gotta get foot pegs and enjoy the ride! All the other aftermarket parts can come later
Love you bro keep it up
I love this Video and bike 👍 thx
Im 5'2" 150 lb and i loved my Roadliner
I have one. Same color and everything. Love it to death with the car tire on the rear.
I have a dark side Stratoliner myself! nothing better.
Dark side on my roadstar.
Dark side #454
I wish I could have two just so I could have the Red and Black along with my black and bronze
Is the title a word play on Rob zombies (More human than human)?
I've had two of these things. An 09 and an 06 midnight. They have crazy torque and power. Harley can talk about their 114 that took them til 2017 to make, and indian can talk about their 111 thunderstroke but yamaha has been making this 113 since 2006. Great bikes
It's also pretty much second only to the M109R for metric V-twin cruiser motors, and makes more power than either the 114 M8 or the 111 Thunderstroke.
The new 114 makes less power and torque than my 2009 Raider....TWO THOUSAND AND NINE...Harley still cant catch up.
Watching Sean ride this made me put my Road King up for sale. LOL. I was always a Yamaha fan all my life.
Yeah,but no soul and brought to you from the country that gave you Pearl Harbour!
You mean the same country that provides some of Harley's parts? Harley Davidson is ASSEMBLED in America, it's not American anymore. Just like this bike assembled in America...but 10x's more reliable than ANY Harley. Just proves Harley guys know nothing about motorcycles.
That is a smashing bike. Can't imagine cool relax sweet sounding engine cruising down the street. A piece of mobile art. Damn wish I could ride one.😎🤔☺☺🤗
After an intro like that I was half expecting to have it cut towards a Playskool tricycle
I have the Raider and love my xv1900 burning that back tire off at lights and watching people's jaw drop
I can't do it. Can't watch it with the mirror hanging like that.
just push through it, i believe in you
But it wasn't hanging! (JK) Shawn, do you know a Mechanic that is good on troubleshooting problems on Yamaha Royal Star TD specially on an 08 Romans 10:17 Come to me and listen; listen to me so you may live. I will make an agreement with you that will last forever.
bad ass mirror set up
like your videos BUT your intro.... Full faced helmet, check, armored gloves, check, armored jacket, check... running shoes??? WTF? What you hate your ankles? Get some boots dude.
Yeah, DEFINITELY needs some boots. Ride safe my bro in CHRIST.
How much are motorcycle go for
Great power plant with smooth drivetrain. Plenty of torque for a heavy cruiser with plenty of pick up. Mine the 2 tone color with cobra pipes. Right about that slow start, reliability is great thing to have. Nothing on this bike is cheap material, great deal. If this was another manufacturer double the $, that tells you the profit margin consumers are willing to pay for “name”
@@eddiebenzz you're going to inject race into motorcycles? Ever been to bike week in Daytona? Blacks on harleys everywhere. Don't be stupid. I guess when Jamar Jackson Motorcycles come into existence you'll be all set.
Just buy a Yamaha Roadliner S or Stratoliner you will not need any other bike.
You are absolutely right I got me a s model😀
I’m a “re-entry” rider and after lots of research I got a Roadliner S. Dude, such a beast. Careful with this critter.
@@meinbrian congratulations that's the same model I have
@@meinbrian Brian, I have had two of them. Can't beat the power or ride of the Roadliner S
You're awesome Brother
On point. My ex girlfriends bike was a sluggish slow starter.
That's the coolest intro ever
DANG THE BIKE IS FINE!!!! Can you show and ride a Yamaha Raider?
Like watching your vids they are great and talking is great good job don't take any notice of the cheesy remarks
I going to get a -07 later this week . In Sweden we got a version in black called , Midnight star, thats the on i gonna get .
i know this is an older video, but man Sean i wish u could try the new Vmax. the wheels easily spin in the first 3 gears. high 9s low 10s in the 1/4 mile stock
The Vmax is a scream but honestly its a V4 and it is in a different category from a V-Twin
@@schreilavoge i dont see an issue here. The category is muscle bike/ performance cruiser. Vmax is king. The only reason i wrote that is in the video he says maaaybe the vmax beats this..... no the vmax easily beats its pants off
All Yamaha had to do on this bike was add a 6th gear and abs and it would have continued to sell. The 0-60 video shows that this bike with the Cobras may not be a comfortable highway cruiser at 80 mph. I still may get one after watching this video though....impressive machine for cheap $$$
I've cruised down the highway at 120 and it's just as smooth as it is at 80. It doesn't need a 6th gear. If you can find one for around $5k, it is the best value you're ever going to find in a big cruiser.
Steve A Yes ! PRICE IS FOR SUCKERS !
VALUE IS FOR THOSE THAT KNOW BETTER !!
Steve A I have one Cobra pipes it does very well cruising at 80 not loud at all
What kind of bike is it?
Something about that giant speedo is so awesome…
Awesome words of wisdom my brother
Right on ride on
Pride to have a roadstar 1700cc and a Rodliner 😊
I test rode the Roadliner last summer. It has a lot of power but it needs a 6th gear. Yamaha was crazy to put a 5 speed in this bike, or they should have geared it like the Road Star. My 1600 Nomad is more comfortable and geared better for the freeway.
All big v twins should have a 6th gear. My roadstar needs one too.
Love this steampunk style dash.
That is one seriously deep rumble from that motor. No Harley is going to match that sound haha, a 111 motor Indian might get close.
really nice bike
So in terms of weight, seat height, general feeling (esp. when going slow), what bikes would you say this is similar to? I've ridden Road Kings, Harley Deluxe, the big Indians, Goldwings; just looking to get a sense
I'm 6'4" 420 lbs and it's perfect for me. Haven't ridden a bike that remotely compares. Sooooo glad I found this bike. Mine is a 05 Stratoliner and I mean WOW! What a bike!!! Good luck finding a Stratoliner though. I wouldn't sell mine. Ever
@@michaelmeabon3489 They didn't come out until 2006. I got the first one my dealer got in! I still ride it, Great bike!
@Bruce P Yeah, 2006, my bad
I had to stop reading comments because people kept taking about the mirror. Who cares!!
Didnt Kawasaki make a competitor like this around 02/03? It was also like a 1900cc. Looked like a Dreamliner.
I had a 2007 Stratoliner. The countershaft pulley nut can come loose Usually after 20k miles. Yamaha allowed the warranty repair after major finagling as mine came loose and did damage. Tends to go through tires. Never got more than 6k out of any tire. A selling point was the balanced chassis which practically meant tires tended to wear out front and back at the same time. It really needed a 6th Gear and ABS. I do miss taking the seat off with a key. I had 65k and 10 years on the bike. The bags on the Strat really were not worth the money. Buy a Roadliner and do aftermarket bags.
PS I did love the bike overall:) Had it 10 years after all. But they don’t make them anymore.
I test rode one l couldn’t believe how balanced it was the torque is awesome the ride is excellent but when l went on freeway seemed like it’s geared low for how much engine it has. They also told me it has a valve in the exhaust called an exup valve supposedly makes more power or something
Definitely undergeared for as much motor it has.
I worked on harleys. I'd take this over any HD. Any day.
Sat on one a while after buying a roadstar 1700 and thought it was just an updated 1700.
Models can come and go without realizing it.
Oh well, the bike is entire wheel assy longer than mine, a deal breaker with my narrow garage/drive setup
Great review! Thanks for the reminder of God's love, it's been a long time
I love these bikes
