The yami dealer was right next to the new remote site of my company. I found that fz6 and silverado 650 fit to me. It is not easy to find a bike that fits, so I was glad. fz6 could be lowered little bit for better fit, and a different seat was available for the 650 so that I could seat closer to the tank. It was 07 model and about $5500 I think... Smaller displacement could be an issue?
could you compare 800A vs silverado 650?

FZ6 is about the same height as a Kawi EX650, either of these bikes are good. Yami Star 650 is a popular small cruiser, but not much get up and go from what some of my friends that own them say. I think they are a good bike in general, but couldn't compare it to an 800, cause I know nothing about them. My 1100 Yami is a great bike, low seat height, but heavy. Not much help, but thought I'd speak up.
I appreciate your input. The dealer said they had 1100 in the back. They were 08 model, so not much discount for them. I wonder how I would fit to 1100... So riding 650 is like pushing the bike around. It's got smaller engine with more weight, so it makes sense.FZ6 is about the same height as a Kawi EX650, either of these bikes are good.

he he... parden me... What is thumper? I really do not know.The 650 Star is a turd. No power. You're better off with a thumper or parallel.
The 800a is a better bike in every way.
My 800A is running great. The 650 had everything I wanted right there. Semi hard bags, floorboards, nice windshields, comfortable seat, and all the new parts. The sale price was attractive too.I don't think you'd want to go down in displacement size with a cruiser. Is there something wrong with your 800A?
If your looking at a silverado the kawai you want to be looking at is a 900LTMy 800A is running great. The 650 had everything I wanted right there. Semi hard bags, floorboards, nice windshields, comfortable seat, and all the new parts. The sale price was attractive too.
I wish I could ride 900LT. The handle bar and foot controls were too far for me. Last time I tried on it, I said it is hard to reach, the dealer guy just shrugged. That was it. Maybe different seats and handle bars are available, and he was not motivated to sell... I heard that 900LT is a fine bike, but I am not sure if I can ride it...If your looking at a silverado the kawai you want to be looking at is a 900LT
Thumper refers to a single cylinder engine. Yam's 650 is not that bad, or theyhe he... parden me... What is thumper? I really do not know.
wouldn't sell that many, it's just not that powerful......course the price helps sell them too. Might be worth it to mod the bike you have if you like it so much.

The 650 will feel like pulling a piano with your 800.
