2008 Yamaha V-Star 1100 from Canada

Summary:

Love it and only regret is I should have bought it sooner

Faults:

Seat very uncomfortable. There were times my backside said "STOP". A new Ultimate Seat is ready to go on it.

Oil filter is in a very awkward location, and requires a lot of work, and there's a potential for damage to other parts.

About 75% of the time, the transmission is noisy & clunky when shifting.

General Comments:

For me, who is 55 years young, I am comfortable with the speed and power.

Seating position is comfortable except for the seat. I seldom use the highway pegs.

Handling is great, and the only problem with it is between the handlebars and seat.

Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Buy the oil filter relocator kit. It is worth the money. It makes oil changes a snap.
