Very nice. Great lines and I have really grown to like the cone-shaped lights. You're a lucky guy to have 2 superb rides from which to choose. I'm just a little jealous.

Front wheel and fender are too small for the rest of the bike.
But if it would have been around when I bought my R* would have been a hard choice

I think the R* is on the way out.

Why did Yamaha come out with a 1900 based bar hopper rather than a 1700 based bar hopper?

I thing the writing is on the wall.

I hate to agree, but at the international show in Chicago, there was only one Roadie. They put the spot light on the Raider.

I kinda hate to say it though, but when I pay off my roadie.....I'll be selling it to get a Raider. I just love the entire package that the Raider has... love my Roadie... but to each their own.. gotta do what's right for yourself... Wish I could afford to just keep them all.

the V-star 750 and 1100 wasnt ended when the R* came out in fact they just came out with a 1300 right..and even a 250....

In fact the entire V-star line up has been supported nicely...


So maybe if there is still a market for the classic V-twin..the fuel injected R* may be heavily advertised when it arrives....

The Harley camp is not dumping the Road King or the Heritage Softail cause the Rocker is here..

who knows??? if sales for the Strat and the Roadliner dont take off...the R* may regain the spotlight
