I can’t say enough about my 2006 XVS-650…Was stored last year and only 400 miles on it in the last 8 years, and bought it with just 2828 miles 2 months ago…It’s the custom with the bags & windshield…But as one reply says, can’t ride it like a sports bike and you’re shifting out way to high on the RPM’s, gotta remember you’re on a V-Twin and use that low end torque and cruise!..
Nice trip!
thanks for the word… its a blessing you’ll never know who needs it…
Excellent video sir. I love your honesty and humor. Thank you.
I’m 5,4 tall you guys think this is a good bike for me?
Low maintenance. Dependable cruiser. Yamaha makes great bikes.
It seems to be idling too high. Really not enough cruiser riding experience to give any sort of review for this motorcycle. You can not ride them like a sport bike. At least we can see the speedo fairly clearly most times to see how fast it is going with the sound of the revs. I am either going to buy one of these or a VT750C Honda. The Honda weighs a bit more but it only has 1 carburettor and it has adjustable tappets that are easy to set. The Honda also idles much lower making a more pleasant sound when you start up.
650 or 1100?
I just got a 98 vstar classic 650 w/ 9800 miles last week as my first bike. It feels a little big at first but after a few hours it’s pretty comfortable. At first I didn’t like that the clutch only needs to be pulled in about a half inch before it disengages; however now I’ve learned to love it. I can keep one finger on the clutch and barely pull it to switch gears. It also has a very forgiving gear box that lets you do clutchless shifts. The seat is super comfortable (I’m 5’11” 165lbs).
They run out of steam at about 85 in a headwind with a windshield, but a really nice bike to start with or get back into riding. Put about 35k on one then upgraded to a Honda Interstate 1300.
Nice looking bike sounds sweet low mpg and cost not bad
I like my Shadow ace. Mabe for Christmas me and my father might have to take a stop down for another honda.
We’re is Shawn? He get tired of testing the vstar 650 lol
Nothing against these bikes, but the sound isn’t great.
Did you mention what Model? 650 or 1100?…lol not well sized for 6’2″ and taller
get the 1100 they weight the same but the 1100 has better brakes and power
like riding a four stroke, yes, not a ninja hi rpm, cool
Nice bike
I owned a 650 custom a few years ago and they are great for around town and occasional freeway rides. Rode mine from Wi to WV and back…….. that’s when I found out that I needed more power for extended freeway runs. A couple of hours here and there on the freeway and you will like this bike.
The VStar 650 isn’t just for entry-level. I’ve been riding street bikes regularly since 1992, and I’m pretty happy with the 650 I bought 3 years ago. It’s not a very exciting bike, but it never spends any time at the local mechanics shop either – I wish I could say the same for some of the other bikes I’ve owned over the years!
Most riders seem to complain that they don’t have enough power (40HP), they find the clutch abrupt, or it feels like it could use a 6th gear. Those things have never bothered me, but if there’s one thing I could whine about it would be the brakes. They’re best described as ‘adequate’. I find they feel rather wooden, but they work… okay.
i have a 2003 and it was a perfect first bike. I bought a 2006 stratoliner and it was like hopping on the same but wider and faster
Sounds like it needs oil. Lifters kinda noisy.
I had one when I got back into riding. Great bike to start out on. Loved that bike. Got taken out by two little spotted deer. So I bought a 1600 midnight star. Now I run them over.
Hi Sean. I was thinking about one of these before I got my second hand 883 XLH Harley Sportster in 2014 on a budget as a beginners bike (now sold). Saw you were thinking of maybe going to Scotland from your excellent youtube channel a few hours ago. If your ever over Norwich way in the south east of the UK then pop by and you can have a spin on my 2005 ‘RAT’ ‘Catch-22′ Dyna Street Bob that’s customised with 16’ ape hanger etc which balances the weight of the bike much better than the stock bars. Also it has the most comfortable seat I have ever sat on. It’s more like ‘Feards and Bikes 😉 Type in MegaJay70 and its on there. I am loosing the gut btw with a new exercise program and am trying not to hit the horn when I get onto the bike lol 😉 Peace out 🙂
White Dudes Should Not Being Saying Dope!!! That is Just Retarted
First impression cool . Like it.
I got a Suzuki Boulevard S40. A smaller cruiser, but I love the way the single cylinder 650 sounds.
Nice bike. But it was a bit small for me. So my starter bike ended up being Suzuki Boulevard M50. Not too much bigger but felt adequate as a first bike.
Caleb is comical. Good man!
Have you guys test ridden a Virago yet? My wife’s dad owned one and he loved it. I told him he should have bought a V-Max, but he loved the Virago more.
Haha yeah Sean said he was sick of test riding the vstar 650s
