2003 Yamaha V-Star Classic 650 from United States of America - Comments

None.

Great first bike. Needs a little more power for interstate crusing. Love it. I would buy another.

I agree that it is a good bike for beginners. I am getting my parent's V-Star, and although it's a little too heavy for me yet, I can't wait to ride it.

We have had it for three years, and nothing major has ever happened, the only thing we had to do was replace the clutch along with some other minor details.

I love riding around town and going for rides with the Patriot Guard Riders (I will be an official member when I turn 16) and seeing all of the other bikes. We hope to take it with us to Sturgis next year, and I am hoping I will be able to ride it down there. We've been going for almost ten years, and I sometimes feel left out because I don't have my own bike yet.

I hope Yamaha will continue to make this bike for many more years, because it's reliable and you don't end up selling your vehicles to make the down payment.

I've got an '04 Yamaha 650 Silverado, my third bike and without a doubt the best.

My wife and I ride 2-up no problem, I loaded it with my camping gear and rode to the Oyster Run in Anacortes, no problem keeping up with my buddy on his 1100 Silverado on the I-5 at all.

This is a good bike for the novice, but there's no way anyone can say this bike isn't powerful enough for the highway, you may have to use the tranny abit depending on the terrain. My wife and I have made tons of day trips with our riding group and have no problem at all keeping up.

We're looking at a Royal Star venture these days, but only because the pillion on the 650 isn't comfortable for longer trips. I really do wish I could afford two bikes cuz I'd keep my little 650 forever if I could.

I'm a 6 foot 5 male looking at buying a 2003 V Star. What do yall think about it? Would it be a good starter bike for me? I have never ridden before and really like this bike.

I have a 2003 650 VStar Classic, and am 6'3" 210 lbs, and this bike rides great. It cruises well at 60-65.

The other day my wife and I rode to the beach. It rode and handled well with both of us aboard.
