Hello everyone. I just bought a leftover 05 Midnight Warrior that i will be taking delivery of tomorrow. I was planning to buy an M109r for the last year and saw this Warrior last week and fell in love with it. Also, the 109 just felt very awkward when I sat on it (I'm 5'10, 200 lbs). This will be my second bike. I am 22 and my last bike was a Katana 600 about 2 years ago. Will this bike be very hard for me to get used to coming from a sport(I know... Kat's arent true sports bikes) bike to this huge cruiser?
you will find it almost impossible to control the big a$$ smile on your face, otherwise, the only other problem will be keeping the beautiful girls from wanting to ride with you, it is a real problem, but you will get used to it.
midnight IS the fastest color, congrats!!!
don't forget to make sure the kickstand is down, there seems to be a rash of tipped over bikes this week.
+1 on the kickstand tip. Almost dropped mine this morning maneuvering it around the garage. Not fun trying to heave the beast back upright from a 60 dgree lean angle hovering an inch above concrete from the wrong side of the bike.
Anyway, Congrats on the new ride. Welcome to the forum and welcome into the uber fabulous Midnight Club!
Hey Jonmer, I made the transfer from sport to cruiser with the Warrior as well. While this is more like my 8th bike, my last being a 900RR, you will not have a problem. The best part is this thing handles like no other in it's class, IMHO. If it were not for the Warrior I would not own a cruiser.
I also switched from a sport bike(04 r6) to a warrior and I have no regrets. These bikes handle excellent and the low end torque is a lot more fun around town. Congrats on the new bike.
The 05' Midnight Warriors are the best, fastest and meanest Warriors of them ALL. Best of ALL, you're now a member of the most exclusive Club there is "The Midnight Warriors Club".
Anyway welcome to the forums and to the dark side...
Welcome! You will like the Midnight. Just bought a new 06 in March. I also have a 99 R*. You won't have any problem switching over to the Warrior. It is going to be down on power some compared to the Katana, but it handles more like a sport bike compared to most cruisers. Ride safe, and enjoy!
Just scooped up a bone stock 04 rs warrior with 1000 miles on the clock, thing looks brand new. Been about 10yrs since I first rode one and fell in love and finally bought one. I just ordered a Churchkey V-BAK, coil relocation kit from Akitadog, AIS delete from Pacific Coast, V&H big shots and a...
I just bought a 2006 warrior a few weeks ago. I am very impressed with it i have had harleys forever but my body couldn't take the vibrations & I didn't like the prices for what I wanted. So far I love this bike. It's stock with a dynajet controller in it. I don't think the dealer new it was on...
Help me decide...
1. 2006 Blue 18k miles, Sissy bar, Engine guards, new tires, recent oil change, small windshield and Vance and Hines short shots (super loud) I would definitely put quiet baffles on it. Has no fuel controller. Just under $4k Owner has had it for 2 years.
2. 2002 27K miles...
So far im loving it! It already had 18" ape hangers and loud Vance and Hines pipes, and a corbin seat with backrest. I took the backrest off, ill prolly just use it for longer rides. The bike is my daily. I know sure i want to get a fender eliminator and move the license plate to the side. I...
Hello again
Made a mistake selling my Warrior 3 years ago but I've managed to track it down and buy it back with only 155 miles added :oops:
looking for an original seat in any condition if anyone has one for sale let me know.
