Hello. I just bought the roadstar midnight. I have driven a harley sportster and i felt to big on it and the brakes sucked . I know the sportster is not a very good comparrison but after getting the sh... scart out of me I havent been a big fan of harley.I have read some were that the fat boy rates a little better in the brakes department.The tork and power at 102 cubes and 1700 cc is hard to beat.The bike also looks and feels bigger than the harley (my oppion) The harley does have one thing big about it and thats the price. If you worry about the statis thing get the harley, If not you will love the yamaha.
