Owen Posted May 22, 2010 #1 Posted May 22, 2010 Stopped by the dealer's today to say howdy to some friends that work there and look around. One of my buddies says 'come out to the storage area and look at what we just got in'. It was a black shinny strat deluxe. Wow! What a beautiful bike. 113 ci fuel injected beauty. I love the lines on this bad boy. It has a very comfortable sitting position and the seat height was just right for me (I'm a shorty) just about the same as my low rider venture. When I picked it off the kick stand it felt considerably lighter than the venture. I couldn't start it or ride it because they had not finished prep on it. But I must say that is a very nice bike!
Mariner Fan Posted May 22, 2010 #2 Posted May 22, 2010 I heard that they just got one in at my local dealership. Think I'll go check it out!
CMIKE Posted May 23, 2010 #3 Posted May 23, 2010 I have not seen one in person...but I love the looks of that bike. i can't wait to see one in person. Well did you buy it?

Wanderer Posted May 23, 2010 #5 Posted May 23, 2010 I'm starting to believe, this, with some mods will be the next Venture. http://lh6.ggpht.com/_xOOWRVc9-a4/S_iprGgN8dI/AAAAAAAABjM/to3pcpLbvSo/s640/StratDeluxe.jpg
hoghead Posted May 23, 2010 #6 Posted May 23, 2010 Can't wait to see one myself. Add to that I sold my Venture last week and will be delivering it to the new owner tomorrow. I plan on paying off my Tundra with the money but I could be persuaded. Better stay out of the dealership. hh

Condor Posted May 23, 2010 #8 Posted May 23, 2010 About the only big difference I can see between it and the StratolinerS is the batwing. But I do like that batwing look..... Can you imagine where we'd be without Harley.....:rotf:
beyeker Posted May 23, 2010 #9 Posted May 23, 2010 26,900 miles on my 2007 Venture and still love it. (I've had 3) But the Stratoliner S I bought last August is getting most of my attention these days. My friend just bought a new Victory Crooss Country. Now if Yamaha learns from Victory, add cruise control, full gauges in the fairing, satellite radio, and put some Dunlop Elite IIIs on.
