Right now I have a loaner bike, a Yamaha V-Star 1100. What a dog! The seat is too low, the pegs are too small. My foot wont fit under the brake pedal or shift pedal, so they have to stick out sideways. The kickstand is awkward and too far back on the bike. The motor pulls fine as far as torque goes, but when you get on it, it feels like its going to shake apart. After 40 miles, my hands were tingling for another 20 minutes. It stands short in stature, much smaller than the America, even for an 1100 it seems like a small bike. I guess the bottom line is, I dont like it. Oh yeah, its almost brand new, only 2300 miles.
