Yahama Midnight Warrior

Someday I will upgrade to a larger motorcycle. It may be a year or 20 years, I don't know. It will depend on when I save enough money and when I find the right deal on the right bike. Until then, I can dream!

So I am going to start posting some bikes that I think are really cool and why. I know ten times more about motorcycles now than I did a few months ago, but I still am clueless regarding specs and general technical good/bad about a bike. Therefore I am posting these based solely on "cool".

Today's highlight is the Yamaha Midnight Warrior, pictured below.




Man this is a hot bike. I love the belt-driven look and the general prowling feel to the bike. I like cruisers but I am not a fan of the Harley look. The problem is so many bikes, even Japanese bikes, look similar to Harleys. My quest for cruiser coolness is satisfied with the 1670cc Warrior, which has a modern look of it's own.

I got to see this beauty up close a few weeks ago. When Stephen and I returned from our first ride to Toquerville, we found that our older brother Mark was in town and had stopped by Stephen's house. He saw our bikes and then called his buddy over who owns a Warrior. It was sleek! My only beef about it was the wide gas tank. I'm just not into the fat-wide look, but you can't really tell that from the profile pictures.

Still, if I found a good deal on a Warrior, you can bet I'd buy it. :)
