2002 Yamaha V-Star Silverado from Canada

Summary:

The only way I'd give her up is at gunpoint, and then I'd buy another one

Faults:

Left turn signal bulb replaced. New battery this year.

General Comments:

Love this bike. It's the most reliable, easy riding/handling motorcycle I've ever owned.

Corners like a dream - I find that I want to lay her down even farther than I can, but because the floorboards scrape if I go too low, super tight, 20mph hairpins have to be taken at 40mph. Laying her lower and farther isn't a good thing.

Wish it had a bit more power for climbing hills. Keeps up a reasonable speed (60-70mph), but my Gold Wing buddies just laugh and power past. I kill 'em on the corners tho.

I haven't ever had a moments problem with this bike. Looks great, still runs like a dream.

Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes
