V-Star 1100- a True Classic

Advantages: handling, looks, size, weight, power
Disadvantages: not a Harley-Davidson

Here we are three years later, and I have put 15,000 km on my 2004 V-Star 1100 Classic, bought new in '05. I have also spent about $6,000 CDN on bling - 4" risers, crash bars, hiway pegs, custom exhaust, windscreen, K&N filter, visors, passing lamps, Kuryakyn grips. It is, without question, a looker. It also sounds great. Even my H-D-owning neighbours thought I bought a Softail. But as it has been said, it's only fault is that is is not a Harley. Harley's have the single crank-pin potato-potato sound that gives great feedback to the throb of the Big Twin. But the custom-exhaust V-Star is close, oh so close. In some ways it is outright remarkable: I had it track day and the brakes never faded over five hard-run laps of ther 2.5 mile (former F-1) track at Mosport International Receway in Ontario, Canada. Cornering is limited ...

Yamaha Stage Custom Drumkit

Advantages: GREAT DRUM KIT 4 OUTSTANDING PRICE!
Disadvantages: NONE?

This Drum kit is amazing. If your a beginer or even really good this drum kit will suit you this kit is awsome if your looking for a reasonibly priced drum kit this is for you. I bought this kit about 2 years ago ive only made 3 adjustments like putting remo pinstripe skins on it and buying anew cymbal pack and buyong a mapex double bass pedal but thats what ive done this is a great kit and i would recomend this product to nearly anyone. The most affordable all-birch Yamaha drumset ever! An incredible value, the legendary tone of an all-birch Yamaha drumset is now available in the Stage Custom series. The low fundamental and warm tone of Yamaha's birch drums have been the top choice of drummers for over 30 years. The Stage Custom Birch series is great for the beginner or the working professional. The staggered diagonal seam allows us to ...

Review of Yamaha Stage Custom Drumkit

V-star - aka DragStar 650

Advantages: Nice styling. Best 'Harley' lookalike for the money.
Disadvantages: Poor build quality and spec.

Bought mine new in 1997. Loved it from the word go apart from its tendency to stall as you pull away on a part warm engine. Very reliable but for battery. As I used it more I felt the brakes were inadequate (only 1 disc on front and drum rear - and it is a heavy bike) so upgraded to harder pads (HH) and a braided S/S brake line. Better but no cigar. The headlight is too small and feeble for anything other than casual night time use. Uprated bulb made a bit of difference but really not a lot. Battery life is poor am now on 3rd battery. This may be due to little usage and my alarm system dragging the charge down. Standard fit Yamaha batteries are way too expensive at over £80! Paint is thin. Chrome is poor. Corrosion is too easy. Front mudgurad needs to be longer to keep water off electrics (bought FenderExtender from M&P). Yamaha ...
