I made a little upgrade last night

I've been riding my 650 Yamaha V-Star for almost two years now and really like it. It's got classy styling, sounds good and has enough motor to pull me down the highway in excess of posted speeds. I've told my wife several times that I really like it, I just wish it were slightly bigger. Well, last night I kinda blew away the 'slightly' part of that! I came
Home last night with an '04 Roadstar 1700 Midnight Special! It's only slightly bigger than the V-Star but has almost triple the engine in it! It's going to take some getting used to but it's a pretty comfortable bike. It's hard to tell the difference between 60 and 85 without looking at the speedo! And, if you twist the grip, it scoots up there pretty quick! I hope I end up liking it as much as the smaller V-Star that I've gotten so used to.

Here's the 650. It looks like the 1700's little brother!
