New to the Forum, Came from a Sport Bike 1 Year, 1 Month ago  
Well, looks like the forum masters have approved me and I am now able to log on! First off I would like to say there are a lot of bikes that I have seen on here that are really sweet looking.

This is my first cruiser and so far I like everything about the Roadstar Silverado 2000 I purchased. I found the Roadstar in Marine, Illinois. The bike had 6500 miles on it, the thing looked brand new. I picked it up for $4500 and was pleased with my purchased.

I had my FZ6 for 4 years and I was ready to move to a different bike. My father and brother like to go on rides and my wife does too but she could not ride very long on my FZ6 with me.







I am at work right now but I just wanted to post a few and say Hi!.

BTW I am probably one of the youngest riders on here for the style of bike, although I may not be.

You will NOT be disappointed with the Roadstar, built like a brick sh!thouse and will give you thousands of trouble-free miles.
