Title: Yamaha Star Bolt
Post by kimchris1 on 06/22/13 at 20:12:25

Any of you guys or gals have any knowledge
of this bike?
I received an invitation from them to come
and test ride one..
I may just have to do that.
If I do, I will take the camera and post some
pics. :) kim

I looked at one at a dealership. When I sat on it, I noted that my left leg hit against the rear - left - cylinder head. Yamaha put a wire guard on that cylinder, presumably to keep riders' legs away from the hot cylinder. I won't comment on the styling, because people's tastes vary so much. I had a similar problem when I looked at a Honda Fury and my right leg rubbed against the air intake. It may seem like a small matter, but I think I'd be annoyed every time I rode either of them. I simply don't need that, no matter how attractive the bike might be stylistically.

It may be a tad tall for you KC. They are "okay" in a "Japanese knock off of an Evo Sportster" sort of way. Definitely a 10 footer though, the closer you get, the more "Velveeta" you see...
