    I have added the factory low windshield, leather saddle bags and the optional low rider seat. At 5'10' this seat is a must have. It's higher in the rear and lower to the frame and it fits just like the factory flat seat. For $345 it's a great option and it arrived in a week. The fit and... read more
    I have added the factory low windshield, leather saddle bags and the optional low rider seat. At 5'10' this seat is a must have. It's higher in the rear and lower to the frame and it fits just like the factory flat seat. For $345 it's a great option and it arrived in a week. The fit and finish is still amazing, no oil leaks, the pipes are still shiny, no blue. The power is just there whenever you want and after 2000 miles the exhaust note seems to be getting better ....... more GROWL. I LOVE THIS BIKE. At 57 it makes me feel like a kid again.

    Plenty of power to pull steep hills and to pass 18-wheelers out on the highway. Handles like a 500 lb bike even though it's closer to 800 lbs. Get lots of looks, doubletakes and complements.

    This is one awesome running and looking machine! It really turns heads no matter where I've been so far. I just bought the Roadliner Midnight and I am so glad that I did. The bike has a perfect 50/50 balance to it, (front to back as well as side to side) making for extremely nimble handling in the turns, and almost effortless stops despite its 704 pounds. The retro 20's radio dial style instrumentation is really cool too. The power, quickness, and smooth ride needs to be experienced in person. The stock pipes are perfect for me. On the quiet side at idle, but extremely guttural and full when you throttle up even a little bit. One warning, once you test drive it, you're gonna buy it for sure. I test drove the Suzuki M109R before I bought my Roadliner. The M109R is sportier looking, but is not even close to the quality powerful machine that Yamaha has given us with the Roadliner.

    All I can say is thanks yamaha, the power and performance are unbelievable. I have been looking at bikes for about 2 months and was going to buy a harley fat boy, price was not an issue but the lack of power was. I went back to yamaha and came across the roadliner, after about a 5 min. test ride I was hooked. Riding this bike is a real pleasure. With a 113 cu. in. 101 hp engine power is longer an issue, pull back the throttle in any gear and you are gone.

    After buying the Roadliner and putting on 675 miles, I can give you a better idea of what I've found out. Handles like a dream for an 800-pound bike, you wouldn't know it, and cornering overall ride is very comfortable. Performance is out of sight...this was made for cruising - talk about power and then some. The only thing I've found, which is a draw back, Yamaha is did not come out with enough accessories and the ones I did purchase were on back order. Otherwise, I'm overjoyed with the bike. Glad I bought the Roadliner and not the Harley Fat Boy.

    The Roadliner S is a striking machine that handles extremely well both solo and two up and at high and low speeds. The power is at your fingertips no matter what the cruising speed is. It looks great with or without accessories. The standard seat is not the best (looks are deceiving), and I can't wait to get my Corbin mounted! Vibration is a concern at high speed through the seat, not the handlebars, other than that, the ride is quite smooth. Exhaust tone is great and seems to be a little louder after some miles.

    From my first test ride, I knew I was going to buy it. Head and shoulders above BMW, Honda and Harley in power, comfort, and class. I get compliments at traffic lights, convenience stores, work, and restaurants. The exhaust note is loud and powerful, but not annoying. On the open road, it is a cool comfortable rush. At parking lot speeds, it is easy and forgiving.

    All I can say is, "Wow." From the first moment I sat on this bike I felt it was a perfect match for me, I've only ridden it for a short period of time but I can honestly say that it is a very well made machine. The retro look really stands out and is very unique. The ride itself is very comfortable, hardly no vibration. Shifting is almost effortless with no jerking. Definitely a "Keeper."

    This bike gets looks everywhere I go. It is not just a bike; it is a piece of art. The weight distribution is perfect. It stands on its own and feels much lighter than it is. It takes turns effortlessly and has more than enough power. When riding two up, I do not even notice that I am not alone. Yamaha has a winner here. I love this bike. Highly recommended.
