Nah, those big heavy cruisers just aren't for me. At this point I can't bring myself to liking a 700-800lb bike no matter how much horsepower and torque it dishes out. It's still going to be a bear to countersteer through the twisities, and I like those curvy roads too much to have a bike that takes the enjoyment out of them. Not that my Speedmaster is all that great when the road starts to snake, but I bury my riding buddies on their VTX 1800s when the tarmac gets interesting.
Besides, I just can't stomach the Star spinoff from Yamaha as you know by the other thread. I've never turned my nose up about a bike over the way they're marketed, but Yamaha sure pushed my wrong button with the way they've changed.
But good luck to you on your search for a better 2up ride. I hope you find something enjoyable to ride, and a bike you and your passenger are comfortable on....even if it's a YamaStar.
