The first time I ever got on a motorcycle I was 56 years old. I had no brand preferences, I just wanted a big bike to fit a big man, me.

The Yamaha Royal Star was piece of art before it was motorcycle and it fit my preception of what a motorcycle should be. It has served me well and I've traveled around America on it.

My wife's V Star has served her equally well and our travels with the wind in our face have given us a whole new appreciation for life.

  • The Royal Star is a BIG bike ...
  • It looks like a motorcycle!
  • Four Cylinders, four Pipes, and it sounds BIG!

Travel with me to some famous bike sites ...

1955 Royal Enfield 500 Bullet
When the British stopped making sniper rifles they turned to rugged little motorcycles and moved their assembly to India. They were all part of the same deal at that time in history.
Enfields are still built in India today and they are wonderful way to go to town for groceries. It uses a lot less gas than my Yukon.
