Classic, Solid Performer

Dependable, solid & proven cruiser, the V Star Classic has enough power for tall hills, tough headwinds and two-up riding all day. Performance is a close second to the top rated comfort and handling, which makes it a great choice for long distance cruising. This is one machine you can put exte...nded miles on and still feel like hitting the road the next day. A broad range of aftermarket offerings has helped keep pace with everything from throttle controls to spin-on oil filters. Excellent sales value helps keep this choice at the top of the list for those looking to move up in experience without straining budgets. A "classic" in the true sense of the marque.

yamaha 650 vstar

Awesome machine,It is my first street bike after riding dirt bikes for years.I have 48000 km on the bike and just had my first mechanical falure.The rear coupler went on the drive shaft but I was up and riding again thanks to Claires Cycle and Sports.The only negative thing I could say about the bik...e is that when driving 120 km/h the engine or tranny screams for another gear(6).I,m looking forward to buying a 950 vstar in 2010.Thanks Enjoy Bman Read Full Review

Don't sell the 650 short

I purchased a 650 classic last year with my tax returns. I bought it used and had the intentions of this being a "temporary" fix untill I could afford an 1100 or 1600. I've owned other bikes before this one and I have to say this is by far my favorite bike I've ever owned. I bought it for ...4k and have put about 3k into it. I get looks everywhere I go. Almost every other day someone will comment on the bike, whether at a stop light or at a store. I love this bike and do not intend to set rid of it. I am a Star fan for life now. I have that great "classic" look without the painfull sticker shock. Ps...It's not just for beginners either.. Read Full Review

Yamaha V Star Classic

I purchased my bike used five years ago for a great value. This was my first motorcycle, and for just starting out the 650 was more than enough. However as I have gained more experience I can help looking over the fence at bigger engines. But to be honest my bike is more than capable at getting me a...nd the old lady around. (though she does complain a bit about the passenger seat) With regular maintenance I have been able to keep her going. However last year I have encountered an issue getting the bike to start, poking around on a few forums I think I have established the problem as a coil issue. Read Full Review
