Ken Compagna entered his 1999 Yamaha Royal Star Boulevard 1350cc in The Motor Bookstore's Photo Contest.
He bought the bike in 2008 with only 1300 miles in the clock. Not even broken in or had the first oil change. The bike was in new condition.
Ken tells us that most people ask what kind of bike it is, since the only Yamaha logo is on lower side of crank case. The bike has the original Boulevard windshield, but the photo shows the longer windshield, for taller riders.
The Royal Star is a shaft-drive motorcycle, smooth, with plenty of torque and speed with overdrive.
He rode his Royal Star in the Run for the Red, in Hunt County Texas, along with over 200 other riders to support and raise awareness for the Volunteer Fire Department of his county. Ken says, "ALWAYS wear the helmet, gloves, leather, boots." Good advice!
Ken's bike is featured alongside the 1996-2003 Yamaha Royal Star Repair Manual in The Motor Bookstore.
