Anyone seen this bike? I really like it alot, in the video it says it has 128 lb ft of torque.I wonder what the HP is. What do you think of it? http://www.starmotorcycles.com/star/products/modelhome/587/0/home.aspx

I just sold a Warrior, with the 102" motor. They aren't all that impressive, I prefer the overall riding experience and the powerband characteristics of our little 865cc motor's thank you.

Quite honestly the Warrior is bulky, doesn't handle as well, and the motor is boring, torque but no revs. I ran it through the gears the other day and it really isn't much faster than a properly set up Speedy. I plan on putting Thunderbike Cams in this winter and doing some head work, that along with the freak and the right jets and it is not extremely underpowered, good luck with your decision, but I'm glad to be free of the Warrior...........

Deuce with a little Victory Kingpin mixed in, except not as smooth... There are some VERY die hard Yamaha faithful guys out there tho, I'm sure they'll love it.
