I'm going to buy a motorcycle. I want a cruser type. I'm leaning toward a Yamaha V star. Any thoughts?

Yeah, I think this should be in another forum!

My friend had a VStar. He liked it a lot. They make 2 engine sizes on it, 600 and 1100 (I think). Very cool bike!

If this forum is only about sleds, why do you list a 73 454 Corvette in your signature?

I was only asking for an opinion regarding a new purchase and I thought some of the motorheads on this site would be of good help and as you can see, smallengineguy was helpful (Thanks SEG). I see posts of all type here and I didn't think this one would offened anyone..........

i think IRS ment that this should be posted in the Lounge (a different forum)...

cuz General Sled Chat has nothing to do with motorcyle posts

Just trying to use some "forum etiquette", that's why there are so many different subjects to choose from.

can it be moved? If so, lets move it.

PolarisINDY500 · 03-17-2006, 03:57 PM

sry, not trying to hi-jack your thread...

seg/dano/cobra are the only ones who can move threads. im assuming that since seg already posted here, that he doesnt mind.

k..back to motorcycles

btw my dad has a 05 dyna super glide custom w/ a wide glide front end and aftermarket pipes...he loves it, sometimes i think more than me

...however its not what your really looking for

I'm thinking of the Yamaha because the Harley-Davidson's cost much more $$$. I would get a Harley though

Thanks for your input

If'n you can swing the cash, get an 05 or 06 Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe.

ive always like the yamaha bikes, they seem to be very reliable. I like my 2 stroke street bike, sounds like a sled with twin pipes

my dad has a honda goldwing and he seems to love it...might be a little heavy for your likeing tho

How does HD resale value hold up vs Yamaha?? Although initial outlay for a Harley is greater, you would prolly get it all back later on down the road. Something to consider..........

I bid on this one thru ebay. It's 2004 V Star Classic. I was out bid, but the guy sent me an email for a second chance since the winner didn't come thru. My bid was $3,400. It has 5,590 miles

Nice little scoot there! The Yammie (Royal Star Tour Deluxe) is a BIG bike. Makes any Harley feel small. Not a beginers bike cause it weighs over 700 lbs. Besides, new they go for about $14,000. Pretty close to Harley's in price.
