2005 Yamaha V-Star 1100

Summary:

Top package all round

Faults:

Starter gear, ring gear etc, went at 25000km.

Now the starter; the brushes went at 30000km.

Top bike, the price is great, but the power runs out at 190km/h.

Handles better than most.

Easy to make mods for oneself.

2001 Yamaha V-Star 1100

Summary:

Fantastic bike and great value for money

Faults:

Nil, still in perfect condition.

General Comments:

This cruiser is 9 years old with now over 50000km's on the clock. Other than usual maintenance (tires/oil/brake pads), nothing has broken or had to be repaired by previous owner (who had from new) or myself. Ultra reliable.

Great fun cruiser to own, good size for touring or short trips around town. Plenty of power and get up and go, whether solo or two up.

If modifying for looks or performance, this is the model for you. The choices are endless.
