  • Hi From The Tug Hill



    I ride and I play music.
    I'm retired.
    We don't have the longest riding season but we have the best riding anywhere. Lot's of lakes,rivers,and streams. Lot's of hills and curves. Not much traffic.
    I ride the state,county,and town roads @ 60 - 70 MPH.
    I've been road riding since 1967.
    My last Yamaha was my Stratoliner.
    My stable right now is a 2009 Vulcan 2000LT and a 2014 Valkyrie.
    I would like to replace my Vulcan with a Road Star Silverado with the hard bags. Maybe the leather bags if the deal is good.
    The closest Road Star for sale is a 2004 with the leather bags and 11,000 miles. He wants $4800.
    I'm considering the Road Star because it's lighter than the Vulcan.
    I would want to LED the headlight and running lights.

      Admittedly, I don't ride either when it's over 100 degrees. But that still leaves an 8 month riding season.

        From Puyallup Washington. Your 2000 Vulcan is a beast and the road star will not compare at least in the speed department.

                  im thinking the RS is carburated, your vulcan has EFI and water cooled, and low CG,and is atork monster. i have an 05 1500 kamasaki V classic as a tug for my sidecar rig. its a very respectable rig, and if I was in your pre dick a mint, i would not go to a RS unless it was EFI so u could play more and wrench less. and if your vulcan is sound id just hang on to it. you can still be here , we;ll have ya. the roadie is also a big machine. only 885 vs 775 pounds dressed. worth nothing: im old and have a T100 bonnie, a RS trike, and a sidecar for if the cant hold it up time comes , but im selling the trike, and probably the T100 cause i neglect them in favor of sidecar and RSs

                    The Vulcan is getting rusty and has 134,000 Smiles on it. I would like a lighter bike. The Vulcan 1700 Nomad is only a little lighter.
