2000 Yamaha Road Star

Pros: Beautiful, gobs of torque.
Cons: None I could see.

Road Star

The 2000 Yamaha Road Star is a big V-Twin cruiser with muscle to spare.

Sporting an air-cooled 48-degree V-Twin motor, the Road Star takes advantage of the old technology familiar to Harley riders with a few refinements...

Pros: Simplicity, terrific torque, good handling, all day comfort, great looks, well built, fabulous lines.
Cons: Not enough power, ground clearance, or brakes. Vibration related problems. Dealer service is spotty.

I started out riding as a kid, when Honda was telling everyone that you meet the nicest people on a Honda. First, there were mini bikes, then Honda Trail 50's, fell in love with riding on a Trail 90, and ultimately wandered out to the edge on a Suzuki ...

Pros: Looks , feels and rides Great!
Cons: Some of the dealers jack up the price.

I was on a motorcycle from the time I was a small kid, until I went into the Military at the age of 20. I actually got a class M drivers license before I was licensed to drive a car. After 16 years of being off of two wheels, I finally gave in to...

Pros: Quality, Dependability, Affordability
Cons: Longer wearing tires

This is by far the greatest motorcycle I have ever owned or rode. I have rode several makes and models with varying engine displacements and accessories. The Yamaha Roadstar is by far the greatest value on the market today. This is the first bike I have...

Pros: Great Price, value and performance
Cons: Low ground clearance, (drags the foot boards easily),

I am the proud owner of a new Yamaha Road Star. It replaced my Honda Shadow and has surpassed my expectations in the riding experience.
On my first ride I put more than 500 miles on the bike in one day. It performed flawlessly and impressed...

Pros: well made
Cons: seat to wide/controls too far forward

This really applies to all of the stars. The seat height is good but because the seat is so wide you can not ride it comfortably if you have short legs. The wide seat looks nice but forces your legs to go out at a wider angle effectively making the...

Pros: Very stylish, reliable, comfortable
Cons: None unless you don't want the best

Before I go off rambling here, let me say the Road Star is with out a doubt the best bike ever made. It will be my last bike unless I upgrade to a newer year Road Star. It can not be beat in looks, reliability, easy maintenance, and comfort. I hope...

Pros: looks,handling,large fuel tank,price
Cons: dealers ignorance of the product

after a 100 mile ride on this bike and months of research i purchased the road star. It is 1602 cc of raw torque.on the upside this is te best handling bike i ever been on i have ridden harleys for 20 tears so i am not new to this,the low seat makes this...

Pros: Awesome torque, Good handling, Stunning look
Cons: None so far.

I have just bought the Roadstar 2002 two weeks ago and have put about 400 miles on it. Before purchasing the bike, I did a lot of research to find out which cruiser suits me. The most good review I've read were on the Roadstar. It seems to have stand out...

Pros: Big torque evenly delivered at all engine speeds, great looks, sweet exhaust note when accelerating.
Cons: Almost too quiet.

I bought my 2000 Road Star because it was love at first sight. The long lines and classic style captured my full attention and my motor lovin heart. I have 2600 miles on it now and still can't get enough. Just prowling around, its a sweet mellow ride...

Pros: Looks, cost, performance
Cons: none

I originally was going to buy the HD Fat Boy but had second thoughts once I took a good long hard look at the 2001 Roadstar. I'm glad I did. The Fat Boy is a fine bike, no mistake about it, but I'm not into spending a few thousand more for the...

Pros: TORQUE, TORQUE, TORQUE
Cons: Typical first year growing pains

This was my first bike in several years and was a little apprehensive with it being a new production model,However, after riding it, all my fears were gone and I was writing a check! as with any new production run there are several "Issues"...

Pros: fantastic Power! Great Torque! Great Breaking! Good Range! Awesome Value!
Cons: It creates a lot of envy on other Bikers

I just purchased My 2001 Road Star a little over a week ago, and the power is just fantastic, the low end torque is something of a super dragster. I had the dealer Jet it and removed the ECG, installed B.A.K. (Big air kit), V&H Pipes and lots of extra...

Pros: Does what a cruiser is built to do.
Cons: Can't get a tank of gas without answering a lot of questions ;-)

I have a 1999 Road Star that I purchased used, it only had 3700 miles on it and was in “like new” condition. I have been riding motorcycles since the age of 14. The Road Star is defiantly a nice bike! I have added many accessories and if I get ...

Pros: Looks, value, power, reliability
Cons: I don't think so

I have owned many a motor cycle in my 32 years riding and this is by far the best experience yet! I have ridden Harleys and Kawasakis, Hondas Nortons and some smaller Yamaha's, but nothing compares to the feeling of pure excitement. No problems after a...

Pros: Excellent handling, quality and cost.
Cons: Very poor accessories.

I bought a 2000 Road Star just 3 weeks ago. I chose this bike because it just seemed to fit me and it had the look and feel I wanted, without the high price. Also, I have a 32" inseam and, though it could be 1" lower, I did not have any...

Pros: The most chrome for your cash. Easily accessorized, dependable and beautiful.
Cons: Pipes are too quiet. Main oil drain bolt almost inaccessible

I've owned over 17 bikes over the last 20 years and this is one of the best-designed bikes I've owned. The best attributes of the Road Star are it's beautiful classic design, it's monstrous displacement (V98 cubic inches), easy to handle ergonomics due...

Pros: Power, Comfort, and exceptional looks and plenty of Aftermarket accessories..
Cons: NONE!!!!

What can I say? Where do I start? One word....AWESOME. I was in the market for A HD Heritage Softail. After receiving the wonderful, courteous service from the local Harley dealership (NOT!!!) I decided that there must be some other avenue to approach....

Pros: Very Powerful, Like feel of engine Rumbling, Great Gas mileage, rides very smooth
Cons: Yamaha Accessories too expensive, but after market not too bad.

This is my second bike, I first had a Suzuki 650 salvage, just too small. Traded it for my 2001 Yamaha Road Star "Midnight Star" I love it, can not find anything bad about it. Plenty of power, the feel the engine gives you, the rumble at idle, just...

Pros: biggest production v-twin made
Cons: none that i have found

I purchased the Road Star after riding the V-Star Classic for two years. The V-Star Classic is a beautiful motorcycle and is a very fine motorcycle by anyones standards . After riding the Yamaha middle weight cruiser the next thing to do is go get...

Pros: Sound, Torque, Torque, and Torque. Fit and finish, smooth ride, Great Chrome
Cons: None so Far!

This is the bike I have wanted all my life! A full 1602cc or 85ci 48 degree V-Twin Torque Monster Rules. I wanted a Royal Star since their debut in 1996 but with all the articles about lack of power, waited, and am I glad I did. With 99 foot pounds of...

Pros: Dependable and strong engine.
Cons: Too heavy. Heavy steering.

Bought the Silverado version during Bike Week in Daytona Beach 2004. Add the loud pipes and the good chrome parts but it just doesn't "fit in" with the crowd. Motor is strong and reliable. Ride is stiff. Steering is VERY HEAVY. Front brake is fine but the rear brake could be better. Bike is HEAVY.
