Cheval Blanc 1 Year, 4 Months ago  
I've been on RSC for a while now and I don't think I have posted pictures of my 2004 R*, so here they are.





I've recently put saddle bags on it, but I don't have pictures of them on.

Heck yeah!! And I totally know why!
I started off on a 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan EN500. What a great motorcycle to learn on, but after 45 minutes it was extremely uncomfortable. After almost 2 years of riding the 500 I decided it was high time to get a machine that I felt deserved my hard earned money, and when I saw this Road Star my mind was made up. I talked to the pervious owner about the motorcycle and he said the only reason he got rid of it was because he bought a Harley. Some people would say "must be nice"...I'd have to agree because I feel like I made a heck of a purchase on one awesome motorcycle. I've had CB since April and I had one issue when I was stuck in stop and go traffic in New Orleans (about a mile and a half with 90+ temperatures). The clutch got swollen and left me on the side of the road. Luckily, I was riding with my friend Robert who is very knowledgable with motorcycles. he adjusted the cable enough for me to get rolling and as I boogied down the road CB cooled off. Haven't had an issue since. I absolutely love my R*.

Great looking bike Jason.

You obviously picked that one for economy. Everyone knows the black Road Stars are for speed and performance.

Nic looking ride. Don't drink the black cool aide
the white ones glide through the wind better
which makes them the fastest

Thank you moreland4 and dead weight.

I will never drink the black Kool-Aid. I was specifically looking for a white R* and found one at my local dealer. I wanted white because I like the color, there aren't very many white motorcycles on the roads where I live, white and chrome looks just as good as black and chrome, and it is my beliefe that white is a more noticable color on the road.

I like the white with pinstipe. I do love all Roadstars. Some days I just come to this site to look at the pics. Black is so overdone, but still looks great, yet WHITE is the new black.

I must say that's new to me.

I figure all R*s are awesome. Paint is kind like skin color...they are different, yet all the same in the end.
