2009 Yamaha V Star Silverado Cruiser reviews

This is my first bike since 1972. I love the bike for around town riding, but it needs more power and a sixth gear on the expressway, as it suffers from slight engine vibration @ 70mph and above. It is also a little on the light side for serious long distance highway travel. It is an outstanding value, if one isn't looking for a strict long distance tourer. Overall, I'm happy with it, as I don't currently have the time to do long distance touring. When I do, I will be moving up to a bigger bike. Show less

I am a very new rider, only been riding a few months. This bike is the perfect size as far as weight and power. Big enough to keep up with the big boys, yet small enough to not scare me. My husand has a Road Star 1700 and he loves the idea that I have my own bike. It is pretty cool when experienced riders compliment me on what a sweet looking ride I have. Show less

As a new rider I couldn't be happier. The 650 has great power and is easy to handle with good balance and handling. I have rode solo and with the wife on back, the bike handles very well. Purchasing was a great choice, they never pressured me or tried to sell me something I didn't want. On delivery day the salesman went over the bike completely also gave me a 20% discount card for the store along with 2 hats and shirts. Although no one thought I was a biker they are quite impressed by the machine I bought. Show less
