Description

Selling my cruiser. Going to Russia soon, nd need money for the trip. This is a great bike, ne of the best I ever had, nd I have had them all.
The closest thing I could compare the power with is a V-Max. Not as much, ut plenty to be quite surprising, ou can smoke the tire in second gear easily. Any harley not built, nd you can just walk off and leave them.
I had a soft tail last year, nd took to sturgis. I scattered parts for 3,000 miles and trailered it back. So I bought something that would not fall apart on a long trip.
I have taken it to arizona for the Laughlin River run, or a week. Not a miss, ot a stumble or any sort of anything getting loose. Several other local runs of a couple hundred miles or so. It is a beautiful bike, get compliments on it all the time. Especially from old ladies for some reason. :)
You can be in the triple digits before you know it. It runs steady, mooth and strong easily at 100. 80 on the freeway is like nothing, ou can lean back and drive with two fingers. The low end power is amazing. It has that v twin torque, rom idle to redline, t pulls very strongly. You dont have to wind up anything, ust crank it on, nd you are gone.
No vibration hardly at all. There was a bit of buzz in the grips, ut I put foam ones on, nd that was it. It cuts through pot holes and bad road like it was not even there. It steers very well, t is stable in long sweepers or sharp twisties. It is not a canyon carver, ut it has good suspension, nd plenty of clearance. I have only been able to scrape the floorboard in a corner one time, nd I have ridden the bike several thousand miles, nd many times tried to.
It does not seem to care if it is one rider, r two with full gear packed everywhere, t just moves out. Gas mileage is very good, ith nifty counter that starts counting miles backwards when you hit reserve. The exhaust is throaty but quiet. You can tell it is a big motor. When you open it up, t definately make a big vtwin roar. The yamaha guys put a servo in the muffler to give it more power at low end, ut open up when at high rpm. Nice touch, uel injected, o misses and accurate fuel delivery at any speed. No popping or backfiring on de-accelerate. I hate that.
The lights are very good, ou can see very well at night at crusing speeds. I prefer a light bar, ut have not got around to installing one.
Paint and finish is near perfect, ear flawless as far as I can see. Windshield is not scratched or fogged up. The quick release on the window and bags works very well, nd they hold very securely. There is one tiny dent in front fender where it looks like prior owner dropped a tool or something, aint is not chipped or scratched. All the chrome is good, o pitting or rusting starting anywhere. I have the stock backrest and pad that fits, nd also a small rack that I modified to fit for carrying a touring bag.
The bags are surprisingly big. You can get a half helmet in easily and a lot of other junk. plenty big for cover, haps, everal pairs of gloves, weater and coat in one side. My wrist got tired on long trips so I put a good throttle lock on it, asily engages and disengages with a flick of the thumb.
It has new tires front and back, nd oil has been recently changed with new filter. all the rubber, oses, loor boards, egs and so forth are pretty much like new. I do have some gps, nd camera mounts that fit these huge 1 1/4 inch bars, will give you if you want. I will also include a small stock Yamaha pack bag that fits nicely on the luggage rack. I put on a set of risers that moves the bars up about an inch, nd about an inch backwards. This made it perfectly comfortable for me. The stock position for me may have been good without a windshield, ut hurt my back after couple hours with it on. The best thing is there is no buffetting or wobble even at high speeds.
I put a set of lowers on it that I had painted to match the bike. They are great in cold weather, nd the extra two storage spaces hold plenty of phones, lasses, andanas or whatever. They are quickly detachable. The guard bars are stock Yamaha bars, ery heavy, ood chrome and sturdy.
As far as I know the bike has never been down, he previous owner said no. I did fall over in the parking lot 2 minutes after buying it. :) That thing is heavy if you are not ready for it. No damage of course, did catch it. Small rash on the clutch lever end, ot sure what caused that. Couple skuffs on the bags, ut a little conditioner, ou dont even notice. One was from a front tire on a pickup when I was splitting lanes.
Anyway, here is so much good about the bike, t is hard to tell. I will upload some more photos over the next few days, nd add to the description. Plates are about expired so I will put it on non op here in california. I will be happy to work with your shipper, ut you could fly out and drive it anywhere you have the stamina to go. I am starting the bid at a little less than I have in it. But when it sells it is gone. I have it listed here locally for $6500.
If you ever wanted a super bike cruiser, his is one. It is heavy about 900 pounds, ut balanced well. I am 5'10" and put both feet flat with knees bent. It might be a handful for some of our shorter buddies, ut of course that is up to you. The motor is very low compared to a harley, o even if comparable weight, t feels much lighter. Oh brand new battery too, ctually I got two by mistake, o I will include another new battery with the sale.
