After 15 years of not having a bike decided it was time to get one, looked at all of the makes, my dealer, convinced me to take a look at the road star silverado, at 5 foot 11 and 180 lbs it kind of intimidated me at first, but 2 minutes of riding it, fell in love with it, tremendous ride, comfortable even with 2 up, lots of smooth vibration free power,very nimble for a bike of this size,twice the bike as a HD superglide at the same price,actually I rate this bike at 7 stars
