#392925 BBToo (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 16 Re:Seriously thinking about an older Strat or Liner, 11 Months ago   They are all fuel injected. They are great bikes. A friend of mine has an '07 Roadliner. He bought it as a new leftover for $8900. There are definitely some trade-offs that my friend and I have discovered over the past two years he's had his Liner and I have had my Road*. Here they are: -Way more aftermarket parts for the Road*. -Liner handles curves better. -The Liner is more refined. It does not have the nice rumbling shake the Road * has. -There is never a shortage of "more throttle" with the Liner. It will continue to accelerate at any speed. The perfect bike would be to add the handling and acceleration of the Liner with the "character" of the Road*.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #392935 stinger (User) Hey y'all...watch this! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1397 Re:Seriously thinking about an older Strat or Liner, 11 Months ago   The Liner seems to handle better especially at low speeds. It certainly has the POWER, and although there isn't a whole lot of aftermarket parts available, Britt Performance has a package available. This one belongs to my son-in-law. Has the Britt wheels, pipes, rear tire, & fenders. It's an '06 & only had 5400 mi. on it when he bought it. If I'm not mistaken he gave $7400 for it.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/06/27 11:45 By stinger.   http://s671.photobucket.com/home/jhurdle/index   The administrator has disabled public write access. #392953 huskerbob (User) Life is about monents that take your breath away Platinum Boarder Posts: 2186 Re:Seriously thinking about an older Strat or Liner, 11 Months ago   Jona I would wait a year and see if Yamaha makes the Roadliner there top cruiser -Tourer There has been talk that 2012 they will be changing there models get rid of the 1300 tourer and making the Roadliner there touring bike   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #392971 Agpilot (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 774 Re:Seriously thinking about an older Strat or Liner, 11 Months ago   Here you go Jona!

I love having a carb since I love to tinker, but who knows, I might be able to figure a way around it.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #393016 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 5508 Re:Seriously thinking about an older Strat or Liner, 11 Months ago   i would have to go with the raider for a second bike. i got the bagger/dresser thing so the next one would have to be a sporty naked bike   Logged     feel free to look thru my albums http://s1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/jasonwoody/ email me at jasonwoody1982@yahoo.com my 2005 midnight 1700   The administrator has disabled public write access. #393039 Frogfarmer (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 144 Re:Seriously thinking about an older Strat or Liner, 11 Months ago   I have ridden the Raider and it does share the same motor but the feel is different. The gearing in the final drive is different as well as the frame and tire size. I chose to go the Liner route and currently have two along with a Roadie. I am very happy with the Liners.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #393045 zoom1056 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 606 Re:Seriously thinking about an older Strat or Liner, 11 Months ago   Well Jona we think alike, I asked the same questions and the outcome appears that if you can afford it, do it. This what I'm thinkin of it's an 07.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #393089 Crazyron1369 (User) The first scratch hurts the most.

Butch http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/mcy/2463180430.html That ad says they retail for $18,000. Man if you let yourself get taken like that you are a sucker. RMC in Renton,WA had a left over '09 for $8900 about a month ago. If I had an actual garage I would have been really really tempted to buy it. Look around Jona there are plenty of good deals out there.   Logged     Ride hard Die hard Ron   The administrator has disabled public write access.
