2007 Yamaha V Star 1100 Silverado

I purchased this bike from a one owner that had less than 2000 miles on it. Boy was I sure lucky to find this. I have recently have put Vance and Hines slip on exhaust and it has worked out very well. Since then my bike has gotten better fuel mileagae and better "snort". It sounds great and now ... it was a looker and now people see me coming with a roar.

I couldnt be happier with this bike and if I ever change out of this one, I will be getting another Yamaha.

purchased in the fall of 2007 added crashbars highway lights.upgraded to a mustang seat combo and is a pleasure to ride.Ihave found at 73mph the bike finds itself{ speed to rpm} my weight is apox 205 lbs.my grand son rides with me some and weights apox 150lbs yes you can tell hes behind me but i ... think i could adj rear shock to stop that from hap the engine does not seem to notice very much difference at all only problem i have with this bike is that the handlebars are about 1.5 inches to short i purchased new bars and riserstrying to get just the feel and length i wanted but ended up returning both.Ive purchased new tubing and decided to design my on bars another project if ya know what what i mean.

Positives: Super looking bike, with one of the best paint jobs in a production bike. I love the styling and retro lines. The engin provides plenty of power, and the bike has an excellent clutch and brakes. Overall, this bike is an exceptional value for the price.

Negatives: There ... is considerable engine vibration at speeds over 65 MPH. Sometimes my eye glasses shake so much that the highway becomes blurred....really! The bike seems top heavy to me. When it starts to tip, it's difficult to keep from dropping.
