| I was really torn between the 1700 and the 1900... The 1700, to me, had a 'big block chevy' feel to it... I LOVED it... Plenty of power... and the pulse of the machine really meant a lot to me.... The 1900 with the crank being counter-balanced had a lot smoother feel to it... Believe me... You can still feel just enough pulse on the 1900... It really came down to what type of riding that I do... I am more of an interstate / highway person and I really felt that the vibration of the 1700 would drive me nuts at highway speeds after a while.... I opt'ed for the 1900 and have never looked back... After a Patrick Racing Big Air Kit and a Power Commander III, it truly is a torque monster... I love it and 8500 miles later it still causes the drool to start...  Personally to me it would boil down to what type of riding that I do... You can't go wrong with EITHER of these machines.... |

Bigger Gas Tank 3. More Accessories for the Bike 4. Better on Tires 5. Better selection of Tires for the Bike 2005 Roadstar 1700 Maroon  |

| You will love the Roadliner. I have the Stradoliner and it is by far the greatest ride I have ever had. Power, comfort and style. One thing it has that change my mind to purchase is the fuel injection. Way better IMOHO than carbs. Jim |
