I have to agree.I am 5'10" 250 on a good day more if I stop at a all you can eat buffet,,lol. And the bike is really easy to handle so I am really pleased and would bye another in a heart beat.

My first street bike was a 650 silverado. Really a nice bike for what it was. But my 2003 Roadstar Limited Edition is more than twice the bike and for my style of riding, longer trips at highway speeds there is no comparison. With the 650 I was worn out after a couple of hours of riding.You really have to man handle a smaller bike at speeds of 70-75 the wind and the lightness just buffets the heck out of you. Now not only do I ride longer before stops I am no longer so tired I can enjoy the nights when I get there. I am not putting the smaller bikes down, but what a difference the ride is. Now I can somewhat relax and enjoy the scenery.

With the mod's I have added, Vance and Hines long shots (no Baffles), BAK, ported intake,drivers backrest, engine guard with highway pegs,throttle lock,and MP3 player. I think I could ride her forever. Looks,power,great sound,rides comfortable and at half the price of the other bike. What more could you ask for, except a babe on the back....lol
