Took a test ride today on a Yamaha stratoliner with the intention of buying it as a second bike. low miles 4700 low payments about 160 a month test rode it and didn't want it.  Not a bad bike plenty of power rode ok, but didn't like bending forward to reach the bars wasn't comfortable for me. Also it lugs and you have to downshift instead of just powering through it like the Valkyrie the flat six has spoiled me  in that way I guess.  Like I said your experience could be different and it would be great for you but I wanted to love this bike and I didn't. Got back on my Valkyrie and remembered why I bought it still a great motorcycle even if its 17 years old now.
