After not riding for about 30 years I started with a Vulcan 800a, great bike.
After looking everywhere for a 2004 Road Star I was told they were not out yet.I hung in there and got lucky, that pearl white paint is sweet. I find the seat hight not much different than the Vulcan.The extra 250 lbs. makes a big difference in the ride.I drove it home from Va. Beach with plenty of traffic, did great.I'm breaking it in so i can't tell you about top end power,but it is awsome on low end.The ride is smooth, you don't feel the bumps in road.the changes that were made in this bike this year were worth waiting for.I found the drivers seat was good enough for me, but the wife wants a Mustang seat, I guess I spoiled her on the Vulcan. I plan on having this bike for a long time, now I can start customizing.
