Newbie ?: What makes a Roadstar a Silverado? 2 Years, 9 Months ago  
My title says XV1700a. But I see references to Silverado and other styles. So how do I know what my ride is and what are the most obvious differences? Thanks, Joe

Oh, I get it. Midnight-Black! I thought it meant you could ride more safely at night.
