@dperique I started out? on a V-star 1100... I'm 6'0 195 lbs... didn't feel too big at all. I feel more safe on a big bike than a light bike.

Clean but u gotta? spice it up a bit. Check mine out at 420thump. Nice riding.

you looking to sell? this anytime soon?

Bought an? 09 this year. Loving it. Needed to get used to the geometry a little. (had a Honda Nighthawk previously.) My only complaints are the speedometer location ( I wear a full face helmet and have to tilt head pretty far to see speedometer) and the exhaust pipe location. (gets warm on my leg, especially in shorts...I know, not the best thing to wear)

@DuBois994 I just got one of these after not riding for about 12 years...i am 6 feet tall and about 140lbs and it was rather easy to ride right out of the gate for me...you should be able to handle one no? problem.

Thanks for posting? brotha, lookin at an 1100, but have considered the 650 as well. Im a short feller, so I appreciate the run through.

Great bike, I had 2 before. Comfy and reliable and well build. Best bang for the buck? on the small cruiser segment.

Cool vid. I'm just learning to ride, can't ride anything over? 660cc for the first year in QLD Australia so I think one of these will be perfect.

@opensourcelinuxm Hm the Speedmaster looks pretty nice! I've been looking at the V-Star mainly cause I wanted to do a cheap bob out - the speedmaster wouldn't be so bad either, except where I'm from there aren't very? many on craigslist!
By: opensourcelinuxm. on 22 Mar 11, 04:56:08
@TheLjfox It's 80 MPH, or about 130 km/h. Since I posted that comment I've nixed my V-Star and bought a Triumph Speedmaster. It's? a similar bike but much faster and more comfortable. And for only $6,000 brand new. Great bargain of a bike.
By: TheLjfox. on 22 Mar 11, 03:59:35
@opensourcelinuxm Is that 80? in miles or kms/h??
By: sam3d. on 12 Feb 11, 08:01:37
I got me one of these, a 2001 as my first bike,? awesome, never fell or nothin. Drill the holes on the mufflers and it sounds mean!!!!
By: dperique. on 31 Jan 11, 15:08:06
Thanks. Yamaha makes a? decent/reliable bike at a decent price.
By: capitaloss. on 31 Jan 11, 03:10:05
Beautiful bike bro!?

@dperique It's oddly got? a lot of power for a 650. @ 165 you might have trouble going slow if you're not careful.
By: dperique. on 21 Jan 11, 18:32:59
@DuBois994 It depends on your experience and skill, etc.. I did about 500 miles on a Rebel 250 (about 1 month of riding) before moving up to the Vstar 650. It felt big? at first but eventually got used to it. I'm about 5'6" and 165lbs. I'm thinking you'll have no problem if you're careful.
By: DuBois994. on 21 Jan 11, 16:09:23
am i big enough to? ride a yamaha vstar 650 i am 5ft 11in. and 155-165lbs.
By: opensourcelinuxm. on 15 Nov 10, 11:19:11
@1501HP First of all engine size is not the end-all determination of power... This 650 makes about 40 horsepower; something like a Suzuki SV650 makes over 60 horsepower. Also the V-Star has a ton of weight to pull around in a very un-aerodynamic package. It also uses a shaft for the final drive which is less? efficient than a chain or belt. The V-Star Classic model also has a FAT front tire which adds to the rolling resistance. I weigh 215lbs, the fastest my V-Star'll go on flat ground is 80ish.

@dperique how is the top speed 75? a 150cc scooter? will do 60
By: dperique. on 23 Sep 10, 19:58:59
the top speed is not so great on this bike. I was able to do 75mph no problem (if I recall correctly) but? it felt like the bike had to really work to do it. For many cruiser riders, 75mph is plenty. For some really big/fast highways, 75mph just isn't enough to keep up with traffic.
By: shendereh. on 19 Sep 10, 16:28:49
i had a 650. top speed is 75 mph with a good? tailwind.
By: Dezerado. on 12 Sep 10, 20:30:07
i like everything about this bike but the back fender... it does a weird ...? Swoop up thing ........ guess i could cut it off
By: cabuco2006. on 05 Sep 10, 12:18:32
@dperique yea, that exactlly what i did. eexcept i kept it for 2 years then bought the 650 then sold the virago. 250. i made about 700 bucks in profit on the 250 so i think? i made out pretty well.
