Better than the price tag

With a 36 degree lean angle this cruiser will rarely scrape a peg. The exhaust was a little loud for my taste but mellows out at speed. The gps has all the mounts necessary to mount on another bike or in your car so it isn't tethered to just this bike. That means XM Satellite and hands free phone... calls are at your reach away from the V-Star (neither are very viable while on the bike). Wind protection is adequate once a set of fork mounted deflectors are added. The engine is strong and prefers the midrange over low rpm. Bags are sturdy and 4 point mounted (two back and two bottom) for rigidity. Read Full Review

Love it!

I bought my 1300 deluxe new at a Denver dealer. It was a great deal at the end of 2013. I have had the bike over 2 years and 10,000 miles and it has been flawless. Extremely comfortable and travels well. I've been on 2 long trips with it and it averages 45mpg. It keeps up with traffic and handl...es like a dream even in the city. Read Full Review

Great bike

Great bike. I upgraded to a mustang seat, backrest, engine guard with highway pegs and running boards for passenger and it is an awesome ride. Only problem is the oil light comes on after riding it first couple of minutes and then it goes off. Dealership said probably just not reading correctly caus...e oil so thick. It sat for three months this winter and went out there and it fires right up. No hesitation. So go get you one. Read Full Review
