Every rider has a moment when he wants to choose a good, solid unit. So I dreamed of a chop that would have a universal joint, low landing and V-tvin type of drive. After thinking a little and thinking, I chose Yamaha Drag Star, which fully meets my requirements.
The first impression of the motorcycle is excellent. Ergonomics leave a pleasant opinion about yourself, which will satisfy even critical bikers. Yamaha Drag Star does not fall to the side and is friendly to beginner motorcyclists. In general, it seems that the chopper merges with the driver into one whole. So he is obedient and very steady.
Thanks to the creators of the Yamaha Drag Star 400 for excellent performance while riding. After all, if you fly (at a speed of about a hundred) to the side of the road, then you will not face a hospital bed, as is often the case with other models of motorcycles.
The lighting equipment of the bike can be rated "four". The visibility of the headlights is quite normal, only to look at the devices, you need to tilt your head. However, this feature is just a matter of habit.
There should not be any problems with the cardan. It is only necessary to lubricate it periodically. If you choose Yamaha Drag Star, then pay attention to its classic design. It has large wings, which will certainly help you during mud and after rain.
This motorcycle also pleases you with fuel consumption, because it is only 4.5 liters per hundred kilometers. And taking into account the fact that the tank on the chopper is installed 17-liter, then you have enough for 280 km of run - this is definitely.
Positive emotions are caused by driving on Yamaha Drag Star. After all, such a motorcycle does not “sail” (it is not blown off by wagons, like some bikes). It is convenient in it and the passenger seat, which in some models is equipped with a trunk and a back. A glove compartment under the tank is also good, which can accommodate many different things that will not interfere during the journey.
Generally speaking, the motorcycle has such positive aspects:
- excellent appearance;
- sustainable management;
- good ergonomics;
- clarity of gear shifting;
- convenient location of all elements;
- roomy glove box;
- range on mileage.
One conclusion can be made: a motorcycle is just a dream, not a technique. But as in every barrel of honey there is a fly in the ointment, so this unit has some complaints. Some shortcomings of this bike should be listed:
- uncomfortable gas tank plug;
- ugly arrangement of the speedometer and rows of bulbs;
- the hands begin to hurt, since there is no tilt angle when riding.
You can also learn from the owners that motorcycles of this model (especially the Yamaha Drag Star 1100) suffer from slowness. But, as practice shows, and Russian traffic jams, this is extremely rare, because the bike squeezes between the rows easily and naturally. If you need to move from one row to another, also no question arises. After all, if you feel your size and know how to ride, then this problem is definitely unknown to you.
Total, having bought this unit, you will not be ashamed to show it to friends and acquaintances. After all, he is very beautiful and causes a feeling of respect and admiration for his huge size and excellent design.
