It’s the revolution among customs. There were already these big machines with imposing molds – often anemic; Now there must be watts. Lots of watts, even if it means adding more cm3. Which builder fired first? Surely the one who saw the most dragsters in U.S gatherings.
Green. Bowls that stir are not just beasts of power. The smooth running of the twin combined with the smooth clutch proves the Warrior knows good manners. However, the twin cylinder only needs a dash of passion to deliver the big potato. A flick of the wrist and the cannonball is gone. No brutality but an immediate reaction embellished with good vibes very American. Horses, there are plenty of pistons, and the cavalry sounds the charge at the slightest request.
It is now that the Yam will amaze us the most. With so much power, you want to play on the curves and not just do stop-and-go. And there is no picture: this machine is the sportswoman of customs. Despite its 300 kgs, the agility is bluffing, the handling of the same level and, at the end of the day, you really have to put the angle for the toe clips to rub. It’s a change from the competition where showers of sparks invite themselves at the slightest roundabout.
The one that should not be invited is the driving position. With the arms outstretched, the toe clips well forward, and in the end the back broken in two, we may look like a warrior but we thank the slightest pause. The most annoying is that the suspension comfort is not bad at all.
Yamaha did not present another custom-dragster. The manufacturer has created it more versatile, more sporty, more rigorous in its handling than the competition. Still, it will be necessary to savor this pleasure alone (attempting a duet is equivalent to a cause of divorce). And fun, the Road Star Warrior gives you every stroke of the piston.
