Street bike Question
I have a warrior, and a street bike, but the street bike isin't a warrior [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
From what I can tell though looks like a good bike with a bit of aftermarket following, would be hard for me to justify something so expensive when theres a crotch rocket a across the isle in the dealership. Also, I think a vette has to be way more fun. Keep the vette and buy a vintage like mine. Mine looks like a cruiser, is fast, and only cost me 350 with 7k miles on it and perf chrome.

Street bike Question
probally I'd start here...International Star Riders Assoc. they ride all kinds of yammy star bikes & have a good discussion on delphi. whether it is road stars, royal stars, ventures, or v stars, they are up on it.
quite a few of the group I ride with have the road stars, & they are happy with them, the warrior is based on the road star, but with sport bike suspension, & more ponies. the rear passenger section is quite limited, as the pegs are high, & the rear seat is small.
as far as one of the best dealers, or for questions give Tony, or monty, or brad a call. 1-800-yamaha 0 (zero)
yamaha sports center, hot springs & texarkana, I can't say enough good things about these folks, from the dealing I've had with them. I call for parts, & acces for mine, & they get them to me, for a good price.
you may also want to check out Barons Custom Cycle he has done a lot for the Star line as well, & no doubt has some input on the warrior.
myself I have a "classic"..(poor humor) one of the best ones they USED to MAKE..but have dropped..
a v 4 Royal star tour de boulevard.. with a ignition module, pipes, & carb work, & V MAX REAR, it is quite enjoyable to ride..
3rd gear to 95...
the missus has a v star classic..pipe mods & carb mods it has 40 RWHP..not bad for a 650..
I can't give an opinion on the warrior, as I haven't ridden one, or know anybody that has one, but the v max winks at me a little more in the showroom..(I kinda like the smallblock chevy sound..)
hope this helps..
