Rock-Solid Engine Reliability
The 1670cc air-cooled V-twin is known for exceptional longevity, with many owners reporting 100,000+ miles with basic maintenance. It's widely considered one of the most bulletproof cruiser engines ever built.
Watch the Final Drive
The shaft drive system can develop leaks around the rear drive seal, especially on higher-mileage bikes — inspect for oil weeping near the rear wheel before buying. Repairs are manageable but can run $200–$500 if neglected.
Strong Resale Value
Road Stars hold their value notably well compared to other cruisers in their class, thanks to their reputation for durability and a loyal enthusiast community. A well-maintained example typically sells for 70–80% of its original price even after several years.

1670cc 공랭식 V-트윈, 카뷰렛, 클래식 크루저 스타일링, 벨트 드라이브, 5단 변속기를 도입했습니다.
"매 마일마다 수익을 올리는 정직하고 토크가 많은 순양함입니다."
1670cc V-트윈은 거의 아무 것도 하지 않습니다. 2,500rpm의 속도로 스로틀을 깨면 벨트 드라이브는 고무 장착형 현대식 트윈에서는 흉내낼 수 없는 만족스러운 기계식 그런트로 운전자를 앞으로 끌어당깁니다.시트 높이가 700mm이기 때문에 키가 작은 라이더도 양발에 쉽게 앉을 수 있고 무게 중심이 낮아 일단 구르고 나면 309kg 정도 더 가볍게 느껴집니다.카뷰레터는 추운 아침에 적절한 예열이 필요하고, 5단 기어박스는 당시 일본 표준에 비해 애매하게 느껴집니다. 오일이 따뜻해지기 전까지는 1초간 변속이 투박할 수 있기 때문입니다.하지만 시속 130km 이하로 하루 종일 고속도로를 주행할 때는 경계선 주행이 수월하며 이 엔진의 안정성 기록도 정말 놀랍습니다. 100,000km의 Road Stars가 원래 내장되어 있는 것을 본 적이 있습니다.

단점
연료 분사 추가, 흡기 및 배기 업데이트, 사소한 외관 개선, 동일한 기본 엔진 아키텍처 유지.
"참을성 있고 신중한 라이더에게 보상을 제공하는 토크 몬스터."
연료 분사로 1세대 콜드스타트의 심술궂은 태도가 거의 사라졌습니다. 1월에 첫 킥을 시작하는 것은 더 이상 협상이 아닙니다.이 145Nm는 약 2,800rpm에 달하며 전방으로 불도저처럼 움직입니다. 회전이 아니라 스로틀로 작동하는 화물 엘리베이터처럼 기대고 있는 셈이죠.핸들링은 예상할 수 있지만 318kg의 젖은 중량은 주차장 속도에 대한 존중이 필요합니다. 주유소에 한 번 떨어뜨렸을 때 그 무게를 하나도 빠짐없이 느껴봤어요.단점은 텔레파시에 가까운 고속 안정성인데, 탁 트인 2차선 고속도로에서 이 자전거는 가격 대비 개선하기가 정말 어렵습니다.

중고 구매자 리뷰
"A tough, characterful cruiser that rewards patient, attentive buyers enormously."
$4,500-$9,000 usedThe Road Star 1700 is old-school American cruiser done right, but with Japanese reliability underneath all that chrome. That air-cooled V-twin pulls hard from basically nothing — roll the throttle in fifth at 40mph and it just goes. No drama, no hunting, just torque. It's the kind of engine that makes you forget fuel injection exists, and honestly, carbed versions feel more characterful anyway. Buy one with decent service history and you're looking at a bike that'll outlast most of its riders. The frame and drivetrain are genuinely bulletproof if maintained. What kills them is neglect — look for rust in the carb, cracked fuel lines, and seized brake callipers on bikes that sat. Front forks get soft over time, budget for a rebuild. Check the rear shocks too, originals are garbage past 20,000 miles. It's heavy, it's wide, and it doesn't pretend to be anything other than a boulevard cruiser. No ABS, no riding modes, no nonsense. If that appeals to you, brilliant. If you need modern safety tech, look elsewhere.
