Big bang for your bucks
By Rick(Owner), Jul. 21, 2009
I have put 4000 miles on my bike in 3 months. I have enjoyed every one. This bike is so smooth and comfortable. The seat takes some breaking in. I love the power and handeling. It would had to find a better value than my 1300.

Excellent Bike
By Mike Hillis(Owner), Aug. 2, 2009
I've owned a V-Star 1300 for two years and it is the best handling and one of the most spirited cruisers I have ridden. I have had a variety of motorcycles since 1974 and this one is well worth the money.
