Hoblick Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 picked up a second bike today. drove up to michigan to get this 2010 Yamaha Stratoliner Deluxe. will be a great 2 up bike for those longs trips. The hyper will be my solo hooligan/track bike. got an amazing deal on it, and its got a few parts i wouldnt have added so that saved me some money as well. amazing motor in this thing.. 96hp and 124 ftlb better pics to come once i clean my damn pole barn up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Kinda miss having a cruiser sometimes. My vt1100 was a good scoot. I hear those strats are great bikes, enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoblick Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 The multi will always be in my heart as one of my favorite bikes ive owned, i just couldnt get comfortable on it to do week long trips. The hyper is a similar bike but not at the same time. Its full out enthusiasm.The stratoliner deluxe is an amazing bike for a cruiser. The motor is just awesome, the gear box is so smooth. The suspension soaks up everything in the road. Hell the stock seats are damn good.The bars are to wide, low, and to far of a reach for me. Those will be changed.Very weird, but all the things i disliked about the harley really give it character compared to the strat. The clunky gearbox, the noisy engine, and the rickety suspension. The strat is a better rider bar none, but the harley had more character and was more thought out from a design stand point. There are things on the strat that just seem an after thought, that could have been done better.If harley could make the engine/gear box , and suspension like the strat or victory bikes, they would have a real winner. Although i still give the yamahas engine/gearbox more points over the victory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I wife loves her Vstar its ok for me to ride but the problem is I try to ride it like a sport bike and end up bouncing off the limiter and engine braking the hell out of it. It's best if I just stay off of it before I blow it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlhsv Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Looks Nice. Whats up with the Triumph in the back ground? Is it a customers bike, or a secret third bike you plan on springing on us latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
