Wow! Some good thoughts on this one. And I think there's been good arguments presented here to make a case for either side.

My thoughts....well, you have to admit that it IS a bit "over the top retro". In fact, I've been thinking that Yamaha...er...excuse me...STAR, has sort of mis-named this bike.

Considering the HEFT and style of it, my choice would'a been..."The Twentieth Century Limited with daily service from Grand Central Station to Chicago...All aboard".

But I guess all of that would'a been kind'a hard to fit on a side cover, huh?!!

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
