Im 62
By (I am a Writer) on Apr 29, 2020I decided to buy a bike at the age of 61. First bike since i was in my 20s. I bought the 2005 v star classic. Its a great bike. Got plenty of power for me. And comfortable to ride. Also it is wide and has that big cruiser look. Really enjoy it!

my favorite cruiser
By (I am an Owner) on Mar 26, 2013I bought this bike new and i have made some changes moved the forward controls 3" gives the bike a lot more leg room and keeps my knees out of the way of the handle bars also put wind shield , saddle bags , back rest , and changed to white wall Metzler rides and handles a lot better also I don't ... have a pic but i added a hd horn to the left side of the engine the stock horn is weak and the left side of the engine just looked like it was missing something. I will probably add more just because this bike is so easy to customize and find parts. I love this bike it aint loud and it runs smooth.

First bike in 32 years
By (I am an Owner) on Dec 03, 2011OK...55 years old and late middle age crisis maybe...but wanted to start riding again and looked at several used bikes. Finally settled on a 2005 V Star Classic 650 with 10,000 miles; Mustang full seat; Memphis Shades windshield; Vance and Hines pipes; plus some extra chrome. This is my first cruiser ... and I love it. A great choice for a new or beginning again rider. I will probably get a larger bike in a few months but right now love this one.

Great Bike
By (I am an Owner) on Apr 02, 2011I bought my 05' V Star Classic 650 from a guy who barely rode it.Amazingly,it only had 800 miles on it,so I practically got a new bike for under 3000 dollars.
I would rate this bike 5 stars on how easy it is to ride,especially for a new rider,it has plenty of power and handles well. ...
The only things I can say I didn't care for was the clutch "friction zone".I bought a lever called a Clevver clutch lever (40 dollars) and after the change the zone is closer to the grip and the lever is easier to pull.Other than the stock seat on mine is a little hard,but those are the only things I can think of that I would complain about and those are very minor in my opinion.
Over all,it is a great bike for a novice,a lady or someone like me who is in their mid-forties and was looking for a way to save gas money and enjoy the open air at the same time.
I absolutely love my V Star!
