2002 Yamaha V Star

The v-star is a great entry level cruiser for the Harley wanna-be rider. It has good power and an excellent look. There are lots of after market parts to customize the bike with, you can end up with a totally custom ride that looks as good as a $20,000 Harley. The comfort level is excellent with an aftermarket seat. Road handling is great, cornering smooth with no wobbles. Reliability is excellent, I've experienced no mechanical problems whatsoever. Overall a good bargain.

Best time of my life owning this bike. She was smooth. Never had issues with her. She was fun while it lasted......damn economy. I hope to someday own another one and keep her for a long, long time.

I have been waiting to get another bike for years, when I saw this one I watched it for days. finally I told the wife, I'm gonna get it. She rides smooth, tones
out sweet and just comes to life when you crack the throttle.

The Yamaha V Star is just what I was looking for. It has the comfort plus handles like a dream. Good pickup from a stop and handles great on curves and corners. Balance on the bike is great. This bike is good for both a beginner rider and for the experienced rider it is just fun to ride. Two thumbs up!

The 2002 Yamaha V Star is a beautiful and easy to ride bike. The shaft drive provides smooth power and acceleration. I have a V Star Classic which is only a 649cc engine. I could use more power because I'm about 210lbs., but the bike still handles it rather smoothly. It is also a little to small for me at 6'2", but the added highway bars allow me to stretch out and relax. I am very happy with this bike overall.

This was the perfect purchase, the seller was a great person, and i received a really nice bike !!!!!!!!!!!!

I had looked for almost 6 months at all different types of motorcycles on E-Bay. I wanted a nice quality motorcycle at a fair price. I wanted a nice looking cruiser that would be comfortable and good on gas. I purchased a Yamaha V-Star 650 Classic. The day I received the bike, I took a 380 mile trip to Houston, Tx. It was absolutely wonderful. The bike rides like a dream and quite mechanically sound. I had a Yamaha mechanic check the bike before going on my trip and it had been kept in excellent condition. It had 8100 miles on it when I received it but it runs much better than new considering how much work had been done to the bike before I received it. The previous owner had added a lot to the bike, including: Custom paint, Kuryakyn forward controls, handgrips, levers, LED's and Neon light kit, Kuryakyn hypercharger w/jet kit. This bike was very well put together and looks superb. I was told by other riders that a 650 wouldn't have enough power for passing or riding with larger bikes but they were not correct. The V-star 650 has plenty of passing power and ability. In fact, if you're not careful you will be cruising at over 100 MPH before you realize it. Very comfortable and smooth cruiser.
Now when I have the option of driving my truck or riding the bike...the bike wins every time.
What's really nice is a round trip to Houston in my truck is about 150.00. A round trip on the bike is only 25.00!!!! Unbelievable, but I kept my receipts so that way I would know for sure!! Over 60 mpg on this bike.
With the look of this bike, the exceptional ride, the mileage and the cost of the Yamaha V-Star 650, I could not be happier about my purchase!!!
After owning this bike for exactly 2 weeks, I have added 1400 miles to it!!! I love it!!!

This is a great bike and it turns heads. As a woman its fun watching the guys take a double look at some girl getting on such a great looking bike. Ladies if your looking for a smooth ride, this is the bike for you.

This bike handles well on the road and is a comfortable seat to sit in for long miles. This Yamaha is everything I wanted in a bike and even more.

Very Happy with the bike. It is everything buyer said it was. Started right up. New battery was just put in. And the tires were almost brand new. Runs very good.

If you are looking for a great bike to use as a commuter with a shoe string budget, look no further. The Yamaha V-Star 650 Classic is a great bike for the money. Why pay 2-3 times more for a H/D when you can get a great look alike that is just as good to look at, gets you 40/MPG, and is more reliable than a H/D. I stand at 5'3" with an inseam of 26", this bike fits me perfect. It handles perfectly and has enough power to get me to where I want to go. As I mentioned earlier, this bike looks great. I went to a Harley shop in my town and a sales clerk said "Wow that is a great looking bike." I told her, "Yeah I know, can you believe it's a Yamaha?" The sales clerk thought it was a H/D. That just brought a great big smile to my face.
