The Wild Star is a machine that has probably come best at creating its own image, feel and double the thunder abave all others. | ||||||

Ok, so sit on a Wildstar and you know what your getting. This is the only machine that I have owned that I feel is truly its own origination. Even the tank badge omits YAMAHA but carries Wildstar. Its not a Harley cos it doesn´t want to be one. Its a Wildstar. This machine gives you more feeling of thunderous power and low down grunt than anything I have ever had. I like Harleys, but this machine has adopted me. It sits and waits to be ridden. Its a machine for those who want the thunder of a Harley combined with the reliabilty of a Yamaha at an affordable price that permits posing forever. Its a simple fact that if your a Race Replicant Rider you wont like this review. Stop reading NOW and go pay the mortgage, take the kids to school and ride when the wife lets you. This machine has been created to fill a yearning void that non of the other big 4 Jap manufacturers can. Its a well known fact that Yamaha facilitate the use of Zen in bike design, but this beast has the lot. Curves that envelope you. Thunder that drowns you and a look that keeps you starring for long moments in time. In short, its an outlaw bike destined to be taken up by those who live an alternate lifestyle displayed by the machine they invested in. Throw away the meek two inch risers and install Harley 4´´ or 6´´ risers. Keep the same bars and just look at the transformation. And the bike thanks you for it !! I have seen Wildstars with 16´ Apes and have been told that theres enough cable to reach (except the brake hose, big deal) and to look for a set of ´springers´ on one cos they look fantastic. This machine will undoubtably grab you and say ´Buy me, and save lots of money´!! Its a machine that carries as nearly as many after market parts as HD. Check out the custom scene on pro: chopped Wildstars, fantastic !! Belt drive, old front end with a ´hard tail look´ this machine rivals the great HD Fatboy. In reality, its probably what Yamaha were hunting. Stand and look at one as it ticks over, shuddering its rear mudgaurd, tailight and indicators to the left and right. This machine has the looks, power, poise and growing mysteek that HD have gained from years of advertising. Wildstar seating is all about posing with unbridalled attitude. It makes you go DILLIGAF !! (For Race Replicant Riders it means Does It Look Like I Give A @ Dollars and # !!). A future owner of a Wildstar must not only ponder my words. A future owner must understand that this machine will go round the clock due to its size. The machine doesn´t know its carrying you !!! A future owner must visit a Wildstar in its natural habitat, surrounded by onlookers saying ´Is it a Harley mate ¿ ´No´ i replied ´Are you sure ¿´ he voiced !! Nuff said thought. Rob ´VICE´ Church |
