Yamaha Warrior reviews

I have been drooling over this bike for three years now. Finaly picked it up last week. After riding it for nearly 300 miles in 3 days, I love it. The stock exhaust does not do it justice so I purchased the Vance and Hines hot shot exhaust for it, it rumbles so loud that HD's pee themselves (lol). It has a very firm and agile feel at all speeds I could go during the break-in period. Show less

I've been riding for years and started on a Hayabusa (yes my first bike). Well that got stolen and I decided to move to a cruiser. that's a huge jump, so it was important that I found a bike big enough that I didn't look silly riding (6ft5 and 250lb) and had enough power to keep me happy. I don't regret my purchase at all. I've had this bike for 2 years and love it. If it's not freezing outside, this is my primary vehicle. It has gallons of torque down low, lots more than other bikes in it's class. It may not be as fast as a V-Rod or rev as high as the others but this will be the last concern in your mind after riding. I've ridden other cruisers and this thing has handling far and above all the rest. It's light for a bike its size (600lbs) and the front end and brakes are on the money. If I had to name cons it would be the seat and warming up issue. The seat can and should be immediately replaced. Corbin makes a great one for this bike. It's not comfortable for rides longer than 45 min. Also you have to let it warm up or you're guaranteed a stall when slowing to a stop which another reviewer mentioned. Any of you sport bike riders out there thinking of moving to a cruiser - this one is it. If you want more power, the aftermarket for this bike is big. It's got lots of torque, awesome v-twin sound, draws lots of attention, has amazing throttle response, and the all black looks so wonderful in person. Go buy one and stop reading this, you'll thank me later. Show less

It's rather by accident that I came across this bike. Never heard of it, maybe seen it on the road but I thought it was a custom made not in mass production. I went to settle on the VStar Custom 1100. I waited on my dealer, as he gathered the information my lady called me over to see the bike, she was going ape sh*t. I knew something wasn't right, at least for the 1100. She pointed out the Warrior, my jaw dropped to the floor. I thought to myself, this is the baddest bike I've ever laid my eyes on. After a couple of hours drooling and researching, I bought the bike for myself for xmas. Totally recommend this bike. 2007 blue/silver flames. I cannot believe I almost let this slip by me. Although, if you want mileage and distance... Look somewhere else because that badass v-twin engine drinks like me at the bar on a Friday night. Show less

I love this bike! Torque? Reading about it doesn't do it justice. I just bought it 2 days ago and I've already put 100 miles on it. Comfortable, fast, rocket ship off the line! Show less

This bike is amazing! There is no term that can properly describe how this bike rides, handles, and performs in general. I bought this bike with high asperations, and I was definitely not disappointed. My previous bike was a V-Star 1100 Classic, nice in its own right, but the Warrior...OUTSTANDING! Show less

Outstanding bike, plenty of power, handles very well. Definitely a head turner. Recommend highly. Show less

Just bought the 07' Warrior and love it. Tons of power as if you're on a sport bike, but as comfortable as a cruiser, the best of both worlds all combined in a single motorcycle. Great brakes and handles with a flick of the handle bars. The perfect motorcycle! Show less

This bike is great looking and fit and finish is excellent. Power delivery is smooth and pulls like a horse with max torque at 3500 rpm great with 2 up riding. Fuel mileage is average for 102 cube motor arnd 33 to 35 mpg, the bad is the 4 gallon fuel tank. Handle bars are set too low and makes rider lean forward which puts the rider fighting the wind. Air breather too wide and foot pegs are too far back. These items I corrected due to the fact I ride on long trips. If you're the typical consumer and only ride from bike shop to bar, then back home, never going over 100 miles from home, you probably won't need to change a thing. Exact accessories are below.

The Midnight Warrior gets the lead out in a smooth and controllable manner. At only 2,000 miles, I've become as one with the machine. I can't get enough of it. Show less

I bought my ride for my 35th birthday. First bike, I might add. I have no other riding experience to compare to, but what more do you need? Arm-stretching power, sexy to look at, and tons of aftermarket applications to choose from. Having long arms and legs makes this beast a perfect fit. I exit curves screaming and laughing. Show less
