#70117 nyus2005 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 3 Hello, Need some tech advice 5 Years, 3 Months ago   I am considering buying a star bike and i am deadlocked between a roadliner or road star, now some people have told me the roadliner/stratoliner have a harder ride due to the suspension they used then on the road star, now finacing is really not a factor since i have paid off my truck so i am clean but i want to make a good investment that will keep up with the times, my wife will be riding with me so i am wondering is the extra 200 cc worth it considering the roadliner/ stratoliner is 2-3500 dollars more i just need some opinions from both sides.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #70119 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3123 Re:Hello, Need some tech advice 5 Years, 3 Months ago   I dont know what they mean about the suspension....both have a mono shock and are softails... Extra cc and EFI would be nice...but I was a little turned off by the appearance of the Roadliner...the coughdrop shaped headlight and the freightliner side lines... I myself like the classic lines of the R* Silverado... The Raider is also something that is designed differently...fat rear tire etc.. Look at the bike and buy which ever bike satisfies you in the looks dept Then take each one for a test drive and see if performance is what you want...which one fits you better... handles easier...two up Then ask the wife which one she likes...yep.. this helps when it comes time to dip into the bank for bling PS you may find her cuddlin up to a Royal Star   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/03/21 06:42 By Pop Rivet.   2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #70123 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 18046 Re:Hello, Need some tech advice 5 Years, 3 Months ago   What Pop said. The Roadliner is better two up than the R*. Currently more aftermarket parts available for the *.

Moderator Posts: 3543 Re:Hello, Need some tech advice 5 Years, 3 Months ago   I've ridden both I personally don't like the look of the roadliner but, if I were riding 2up alot touring type riding I would buy one yesterday. I say if you are going to be riding with your wife all the time buy a Stratoliner get the corbin fairing and touring seat with the tall backrest and you will be in heaven!! Tons of power and torque, easy to manuver and comfortable to ride long distance. If your wife rides with you sometimes and you like the classic look go for the R* you can do ANYTHING with it! The aftermarket for them is unreal just look at Docs! I would not get rid of my R* but I would consider a second the Strat as a second for those long trips!
