Yamaha V-Star 650 Classic - 2007 Motorcycle — 

The 2007 Yamaha Silverado has a very comfortable weight and balance that is quite affordable for the intermediate bike range.  Even with the big screen, the big trucks don't push the bike around too bad and with the low seat height, most riders can balance the bike with the knees.

I'm 5'9" and one of the chief complaints I have is with the location of the handlebars.  I can't roll them back far enough to be comfortable (which may be the caused by the installation of the Mustang seat) and need to install a 1" riser to bring them up and back.

The bike winds up nicely, but I am looking for a 6th gear.  Not for lack of throttle, just to bring the RPMs down.

Nice review, and nice Silverado! I agree about the Mustang seats, handlebar risers and 6th gear. Keep the greasy side down!
