Overview

Yamaha XVS 650 V-Star Custom

From the day it hit the street, the V-Star 650 Custom was a huge hit. We started with an authentic V-twin powerplant and a lean, low-slung chassis, and then tricked it out with lots of chrome, luminous paint, and a bobtail rear fender. we've also added a new speedometer, clear turn signals and 3D side cover emblems. And thanks to its chopper profile, shaft drive, and easy to ride attitude, the end result is no ordinary custom. The V-Star 650 Custom is so stylish and unique, people will swear you must have customized it yourself. Don't worry - we won't tell a soul. Engine:
