2007 Yamaha V-Star 1100 review from United States of America
"It is a piece of japanese crap"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
At 1300 miles the engine and transmission over heated and turned the pipes glowing red. Now the bike is non movable.
Starting issues since that happened; one thing lead to another.
General comments?
Looks good and sounds good with the price at the dealership. But any after market stuff you want to add; prepare to rob a bank to buy them.
