Key Features:
ALL-NEW FOR 2009
- As a new benchmark in middleweight cruiser class, the V Star 950 brings it all
together in an exciting new package. A muscular 942cc air-cooled V-twin engine
with plenty of distinctive, big-cruiser character and pulsing torque feel. A
full-sized chassis for spacious comfort, with a long, low look that also means
an extra-low seat height so valued by riders without extra-long inseams. Sporty,
responsive handling that makes riding on curvy back roads or commuting around
town as much fun as cruising the open highway. V Star 950 has the credentials to
appeal to seasoned riders just as much as those looking for an entry-level,
confidence-inspiring machine.
- The new 942cc 60° V-twin engine is both simple and sophisticated. Traditional air cooling is used, but this engine also has four-valve cylinder heads, ceramic-composite-lined cylinders, forged aluminum pistons, and fuel injection for spirited performance. A straightforward SOHC design is used, with special compact roller-type rocker arms, helps to keep the top end lighter for more mass centralization. The stylish 2-into-1 exhaust system has been meticulously tuned to provide an exceptionally pleasing, yet throaty exhaust note, yet it also includes 3-way catalyst technology to reduce air pollution.
- Theres more going on in the newly designed double-cradle steel frame than its decidedly clean, simple appearance. The steel main frame, which uses the engine as a stressed member of the chassis, has been carefully designed to offer an ideal rigidity balance in the longitudinal, lateral, and torsional directions. That translates to an exceptionally light feeling that riders are sure to appreciate. The front tire is mounted on a large diameter, 18-inch wheel, and engine mounting position is slightly forward to optimize front-rear weight distribution, all of which contributes to the V Star 950s outstanding handling performance, not only in cruising but on winding roads as well.
- The V Star 950 brings styling to a sleek new level, one we call Sport Classic. There are many classic cruiser styling characteristics. However, whats unique is the V Star 950s light and sporty look characterized by the large diameter front & rear wheels with low profile tires, thin body shape, and fenders that have just the right amount of volume and draw. The headlight and low-profile fuel tank are designed to accentuate the bikes light, low look, as is the openness around the engine and front wheel.
