with the 2006 Yamaha Roadliner S,
113cid, 1854cc air-cooled V-twin thunder.
I feel sorry for all the people that bought the silverado not knowing that
Yamaha was releasing this new bike.
i had no clue until today when i checked out the website again to drool at a
Midnight Silverado and saw the Roadliner and Stratoliner models....SWEET!

I have a Venture, so I really don't care.
Unless Yamaha comes out with a *better* Venture ;-)

bigger is not always better.. unless you trying to do 150 mph... I like
the fact that it's fuel injected, I don't like the fact that it has a
catalytic converter on it that with the 2 into 1 exhaust which adds
power tends to muffle the v-twin sound, so of course thats something I'd
need to replace. I don't know how much tweaking would be needed for the
fuel injection after that kind of change, the siverado has 1 carb, very
easy to jet and adjust (don't have to balance 2 carbs)... of course with
a new engine, there is always a trial period to see if any problems
come up. I like an engine thats had a few years of real world
experience, that way they can adjust things like adding stronger exhaust
valve springs.... but thats my 2 cents ~D
