2000 Yamaha V-Star 650 Custom review from United States of America
"I really like this ride!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The bike had only been ridden 749 miles in 9 years. Sat with gas in tank and carb. Seemed to run OK, but I had tank cleaned and carb work done. Runs like a "top".
General comments?
I've had Hondas Goldwings, Harleys, Yamahas and even a Zundapp, but this bike is my favorite. Low seat, good looks, and even at 650cc it performs very well. Added a windshield, bar and rack. Windshield added a lot to rideability.
