M61A1MECH Posted August 5, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 5, 2014 A 96 Royal Star is going to feel like a slug after having that 83 First Gen. Only about 79 horsepower at the crank, not sure what you have at the rear wheel, but less than 79 for sure and they are heavy bikes to boot. I love the original Royals, had a 98 Tour Classic for 9 years and put 96,000 miles on her, she is still going , I see her around town every now and then, she ran strong, but was no speed demon for sure. Comfortable ride, could do 400 to 600 miles in a day no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
