2014 Yamaha V STAR 650 CUSTOM[edit | edit source]
The 2015 MY Yamaha V Star Custom may have the smallest displacement in the full-sized frame Star bike family, but it is nothing less than brilliant, following to the letter the proven Star recipe: custom-like looks, modern technology, easy-to-ride and an attention to details next to none. The chrome-embellished dual-exhausts and engine accents catch the eye from the beginning and adds a nice contrast to the metallic black paint-scheme.
The cruiser sports an air-cooled, 649cc V-twin, which may be considered small in the cruiser world, but it still has enough kick and punch to make it a great bike for the urban jungle, as well as motorway hauls, with the added bonus of a comfortable riding position thanks to the low seat-height and custom-style handlebars.
