this bike came from the factory with a 5 year unlimited miles warrant. if Harley Davidson came out with that warranty they would be closed.

Love these bikes and yes it was a black Royal Star Tour Deluxe which was my second bike from you. Still rolling with it an love it. Did some upgrades on my bike as well making it my own. These bikes are sweet looking, good power and sound amazing. Love that red!!!!!

Thank you for your witness and the video!

Keep up the good witness , enjoy your videos. Don't forget the Honda Magna series,also V-4s ... Very fast too

There is no doubt the V4 is smoother than the V twin. I owned a Yamaha XV1100 which was a V twin with a shaft drive. It was air cooled. I now own a Kawasaki Voyager 1700 which is liquid cooled and belt driven. I think the Kawasaki although a larger engine is a quieter bike. For a fairer comparison my son has a Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 shaft drive and liquid cooled which is quieter than both the Yamaha and my own bike. I reckon if there was a similar sized V4 cruiser it would be as powerful but not a noisy. When I talk about the noise I don't refer to the noise at the pipes but the engine noise even when it is idling. Thanks again for posting and sharing the test ride.

I've read in motorcycle mags that certain V-4s sound like V8s but I was impressed with how this bike really DID sound like a v8 particularly on low rev acceleration (as recorded by the camera).

These were great! I went to one from a Harley Dyna Daytona, and was amazed how much more fun and how great it handled. Of course it will out run Harleys, but it handles tight!

Those aren't the stock pipes, those look like the Bub's. That's what gives it the roar. When you really get on it the sound is very American V8. The original pipes struck out of the back and looked like tail fins on an old Caddy, and were a PITA backing up to a curb. I've been on mine since 2009 and it's still going strong.

My bud has this bike. It is a great bike. Its big and heavy. Great highway bike. You cant go wrong with this one. Very dependable.

I have a 2005 RSTD. Absolutely love it!

I like how you slipped in that verse about our Master! Way testify and represent! Can I get witness!!!

I love the V4 motors. Honda made a great V30 Honda Magna 500cc with that configuration. It was really nice off the line.

I got the same bike the same color. Mines a 2009. Love it. Picked it up for 5k with 17k miles.

Love the words of wisdom! Keep up the good work !

All v 4 Yamaha engines are the base for the vmax, a lot of the older xvz engine's parts are discontinued, but the vmax parts pretty much bolt on.

I'm always amazed how those post it notes stay on the bikes he rides especially in the rain. LOL! I bought a 2007 Royal Star tour deluxe about three weeks ago. I've been riding for 25 years and learned on a Harley and have rode nothing but since, until now. I absolutely LOVE this bike! I am mad I didn't switch sooner. Mine has BUB slip on replacement pipes and they sound mean! I'm pissing off the neighbors with them. LOL

Just bought one for my son it's a unbelievable bike

This is an awesome bike! Sean nails it again....

BIKE HACK polish the inside of your helmet visor with head and shoulders dandruff shampoo, no more fog

Amazing sticky note! seriously!

This bike has the weirdest speedometer! It seems to run really good! I ride a Kawasaki 1500 Vulcan and a 2003 sportster 1200. I love both! The Kawasaki is the most comfortable smoothest bike ever ! The Sportster is very smooth to to be a HARLEY!My Vulcan has Cobra drag pipes with thunder torque inserts and it really sounds good! My Sporty has goose neck pipes with thunder torque inserts and it sounds the way it should! RIDE RIDE RIDE !

Cool bike! I’m always interested in the Royal Stars!

Only the original 80s royal star was the same engine case, they gave the Vmax larger cams, geared different, higher compression, diff carbs with bigger jets, added vboost, better flowing heads, and much lighter. The version on here is pretty much the same as the original except bigger bore.

Year 2009 Manufacturer Yamaha Model Royal Star 1300 Tour Deluxe Engine Type V Four Engine Displacement 1294cc Bore Stroke 79 x 66mm Cooling Liquid Compression Ratio 10.0:1 Fuel System 32mm Mikuni x 4 Ignition Transistor Controlled Starting System Electric Transmission 5 speed Final Drive Shift Rake Trail na Seat Height 29.1 in Wheelbase 67.5 in Front Suspension Telescopic fork Rear Suspension Single shock Front Brake Disc Rear Brake Disc Front Tire 150/80-16 Rear Tire 150/90-15 Fuel Capacity 5.3 gal. Dry Weight 844 lbs

I think these are sharper than H.D.s

I just bought a Royal Star Venture and I love it.

The V-max uses four carburetors, two of which open with the V-boost circuit at 6k engine rpms. (That's when you hold on to the handgrips, as you feel the acceleration G force!!..lol..!!) The Royal Star does not have the V-boost feature.

Yeah harley is apll about hype

I had a 1997, it was awesome!

Ty as always informative and uplifting!!! U r the MAN!

I have a '84 Venture Royale with @/almost 300k miles on it. As long as you maintain them properly they do last forever. Yeah if you're Poppin wheelies and doing burnouts to impress the goldwing riders the shaft spline's will wear out. But the v Maxx rear end bolts Right up.

Love the videos. Keep those words of wisdom comin Should make another channel that is just church while riding

Thank you for the bike rides and verses of wisdom. I know i can always get a fair deal from a honest Christian.

My neighbor lets me ride his 80s 1200 Venture..my most recent upload.. These big Yamahas are my favorite!

sounds like a US muscle car low down, very nice

The stepping stone system of Bike progression is very wise, sometime you come out with Tripe dude.

That is one of my favorite bikes.

This is a great bike for guys over 6ft tall. Goldwings are cramped.

Lousy gas mileage , great bike,good looking, had one for three years ,Harley GAS now, loving it!

Hello could you please do a compairason of the vstar 1300 and the royalstar?

amen brother amen for the words 🙏

I’m from London England ,, man I love the fact you start of with scriptures man thanks I had mine stolen but I’m buying one this year of course Jup ,, sorry HD LOVE THEM BUT???? 😁

Super reliable bike

That is a good word!☺

The fuel gauge on this bike shows empty AND foo

Magna 750 V4 fam where you at

I have a 1997 royal star deluxe I put a batman wing on it but right now it's in the shop for a new clutch and tune up

Thats the bike I'm getting. Or some big boy yamaha! My favorite bikes!

My lord that thing is a beast

it's a bad back thing , i need the ape hangers. i like the stock grips too, but the iso grips are real nice for long distance.

Love that bike, I noticed you don't use turn signals, what's with that, their use isnt only for your safety,

'You don't know this, but not all bikes have a fuel gauge.' My bike has a speedometer... and neutral gauge...

It has a nice motor. But I don't like the bulky looks, I like cruisers that have a little more streamlined look.

Thank you for prayer!

I like this guy.

The engine on those is very,similar to the gen 1 vmax. Slightly bigger bores is all I'm pretty sure. Different carbs of course. Gearing is different. That's what I was told anyhow.

Why did Yamaha stop making this motor in favour of a V twin ?

gorgeous bike

Just have my eyes in to paper at fuel tank hahahaha

Sure is a pretty motorcycle.

These are the finest touring bike built, it’s a shame they dropped them.

I need that motorcycle ...

Amen!

Of course it makes good power, it's a de-tuned V Max motor. Lol

Love the rstd. Someday... Someday....

I subscribed

You're a funny guy...

i was always told riding in the rain is like taking a wet fine sand paper to the paint it ruins the cosmetics i never ride in the rain i have atvs for that

Amen brother ...yeah super cool Yamaha..I definitely spend some time that sexy girl..lol🤙

No 0 to 60 time?

I just bought one today a 2005 Yamaha Royal Tour Deluxe 1300cc 17000k miles is huge. I feel so unsafe in slow speed .I’m 5”4 almost 5”5 is scary I’m going to sell it I rather get another Honda shadow aero 750cc

2000 SOFT TAIL !!!!!! Take it for a test drive if you would sir - Thanks

What cost the. Bike

I appreciate your impressions of the different bikes. I don't appreciate religious readings/interpretations. Maybe you can do a video of motorcycle impressions... and another video of religious readings/interpretations you like. Then I can decide whether to listen to bike impressions... or listen to religious readings. Your listeners/viewers/customers benefit in either way or both if they like. Really like the Royal Star!

‘Stereo typical’. LOL 🧐

Feels like a religious retreat at times - -->>>>>>>>>

Love that bike except those tall and ugly hydraulic reservoirs on each side of the handle bars, Take a look how Yamaha did the Roadliner and Stratoliner S reservoirs..now that's the way you do it...money for nothin...chicks for free..

I generally enjoy your content. I especially appreciate the scripture you include in every episode. You hop on some great bikes. I have to admonish you to slow down! In every podcast, you start out in a 25mph residential area. I have seen on your speedometer 50mph in an area where there could be children that you don't see and that don't see you. If you were driving like that in the neighborhood where my grandchildren live, we would have a problem. I know that at the time you usually do these podcasts there are no kids to be seen, but that is no excuse. I used to love to ride a couple of grossly overpowered bikes, and I know how hard it can be to keep them under 90mph, when they will do 90 in second gear. I'm not bashing your channel, I like your content, but you, as a Christian man, have to know that our Lord and Savior instructed us to obey the laws of the land. While traffic ordinances may seem trivial, the 25mph in residential areas, are there to protect our children. It would be a tragedy should you hit a child doing 40mph in a 25mph residential zone. Slow these bikes down in these areas, and I'll be your biggest cheerleader.

Don't try to use your big words after smoking de blunt mon

Those were Diplomatic tags--foreigners.

Great bike. Don't tell the " words of wisdom" to the dieing of starvation children of the world...

👍👍😀.

Tell jesus to bring me a damn sandwich.....ohh

Hey Shawn thank you 'not' cursing in your vids , the verses on the other hand.....

Why do you have kilometres and miles? Ever hear of a country called Canada? Lots of Americans like to ride there. Where’s the tachometer? There isn’t one.

No tach, runs and handles well. Gas mileage is terrible.

What's the thing hanging by the throttle?

Yeah, those grips suck.

don't remember you telling us what "C C" it is, what's the horsepower? belt, chain or shaft drive ? ✝️=☮️

these are way turned down put a vmax controller on them. them woohoo.

“Wherefore I say to all those who desire to be disciples, keep your hands from bloodshed and let no flesh meat enter your mouths, for the Lord is just and bountiful; who ordains that man shall live by the fruits and seeds of the earth alone.” Jesus, Gospel of the Nazirenes, Chapter 38, Verse 4

over 800lb no thanks.Honda Valkyrie is lighter and more powerful

You’re such a Christian!

Interesting that you would quote bible verses while starting out on a ride. Do you think is will keep you safe while riding on wet asphalt? Or is it that your beards give you that Jesus look, so what else would Jesus do? Quote parables of course.. Ha ha ha

You should do some research before you start talking about engines and power.

Religion ruins everything
