Yamaha V-Star 650 Classic - 2007 Motorcycle —

Looking for my first motorcycle last year left my head spinning: Harley, Honda, Victory, the list goes on. Being my first bike I wanted one that didn't lack for power but also wouldn't kill me. Harleys nice bike very expensive. Enter the VStar 650. Needless to say this bike shocked me. It is about the same size as the Harley Fat Boy at 1/2 the price. This little 650 moves, Throttle response is spot on, the light weight makes it easy to control and it can hold the highway at 80 mph all day long. And yes this little 650 does keep up with my buddy's 1200 Sportster. I would suggest changing out the seat for a Mustang. There is a world of difference between the two. The 4.2 gal fuel tank doesn't hit reserve till about 150 miles. It could use a 6th gear but that is minimal. All in all a great bike for the price and they are easy to customize. WIll I get a bigger bike?Shure I will, but I will NEVER get rid of my 650.

bought a vstar 650 after looking at all the models: kawa, honda, harley, suzuki, etc. bought mine for 4,500 bucks with 4600 miles on it, pearl white, with shield and bags. in mint condition, a great bike: looks great, looks big, shaft is very nice, plenty of power, easy to handle, perfect. i am going to get some long shot pipes. but thats it. it is a beauty!!!
