Re:Whats high milage on a RoadStar 3 Years, 5 Months ago  
I have over 50,000 on my 01, and thank to the generosity of Yamaha and the recent tranny recall, I get a newly rebuilt engine for free. I plan to pick it up Saturday if it is dry and above freezing. It ran like a top for the first 50,000, so I plan to go at least 100,000 miles on this bike.

I put that on my 03 the first 5 hrs I had it. Good looking bike you need to ride it more and show it off

Is that the stock color? Man that's awesome! Might have to trade my 07 in for the 08, after all, I have way too many miles on mine now, must be at least 2000 now.


All stock.

Yes, its done, I'll burden myself by taking it off your hands. I will do this for free out of the generosity of my own heart.


The payments go with it.

That's one nice sled. I like the fringe and the brown leather. Gives it that authentic western saddle look.

Cartersta, you have a wicked ride too. Is it lowered? Looks like I need to get busy and spruce mine up some. So much to do, and so little money.
