Magazine Articles:
MCN -- January 2006, page 13 -- Yamaha Roadliner S
"Despite its size, the Roadliner is surprisingly easy to handle. Its weight is carried low, assisted by the engine's dry-sump lubrication system, so that the motor can ride lower in the chassis. The seat is low, just 28.25" off the ground, the wide handlebars offer plenty of leverage over the front tire, and the low-profile tire sizes, a 130/70-18" front and a 190/60-17" rear are responsive." -- Dave Searle, Editor-in-Chief
Rider -- February 2006, page 54 -- Star Power
"Yamaha has done a lot with vibration control on this huge, single-crankpin engine. Twin counterbalancers allow the rider to feel only a bit of rumble at idle, and a bit more during acceleration in the grips and seat -- but not much else. During straight-line cruising, with the engine at steady rpm, the rider can more hear the rumble than feel it." -- Bill Stermer, Contributor
