The Yamaha Road Star Warrior Forum

My wifes wants her own bike, but to my dissmay she dosen't want a Yamaha, this is what she would like to have...

I don't know what to think!

Mark.... it's time you think about making some very serious performance up-grades to the Warrior ... your wife must be an interesting woman

Thanks! Alan, that's not what I wanted to hear...

She likes the styling, she don't know of the performance potential yet..... I think?

The M109 has the power, but I found it to be way less user friendly when it came to cornering, handling and doing a wheelie.

 I have heard some good things about those bikes. I don't mind the styline either as it is unique but not so much that it is distracting. One thing that i think makes the warrior so much better looking is the ability to clean up the rear light assembly. If that could be done to the Suzuki then it would be that much better. 

 They have issues with the rear hub cracking at the shaft housing visit the m109 forum

She will be getting power, but I can't get past that headlight and cowling or whatever it is.

 You can paint it to look like a warrior

Well at least my Warrior

It's funny how Sukduki released this paint scheme the year following my bike staying on the homepage for a few weeks.  Hmmmm

I'm waiting on my royalty checks, but I stole the idea from the AC Cobra. 

A friend of mine bought one said it drove like a tank.

Tell your friend that you RIDE a bike and you Drive a tank ...

You can PM "Fraggle1" and find out the good and bad points. He has both a Warrior and the M109. 

I think the bike is cool looking until you get to that ugly headlight, Yuuggh. My brother in-law has one, took it for a ride in 07" prior to buying my warrior. Took it through some back roads, I wouldn't even call them twisties. Ya really have to muscle the bike to get it through turns at a reasonable clip. All that said 2 days later I bought the warrior. Good luck

Its a personal choice so you know she needs to get what ever she wants.
