I test road a Stratoliner at the Long Beach show. I will find my write up
later when I am on the other comp.

Agreed. Seems like Yami has evolved their own sense of style in the last
few years. Still the "big beefy" but streamlined with a pretty
distinctive style.
Still wonder why they don't, given all the rage over the custom chopper
scene, produce a factory chopper (contradiction in terms?). Something
raked out and minimalist that has that OCC or West Coast flavor but sells
in the $10,000 neighborhood. Retain the 1850 twin, FI and such but put
it a frame and rake that is more "chopperesque". Kinda like they did in
'84 with the Virago.
Wonder why they don't?
