2016 Yamaha V Star 650 Custom

Features

• LIGHT AND NIMBLE CHASSIS: The V Star Custom is the lightest of the full-size Stars, which means great handling and performance are along for the ride, too.
• STYLE PLUS VALUE: Dual exhausts, custom-looking clear turn signals, lots of chrome—the V Star Custom represents tremendous cruiser bang for the buck.
• PLUSH RIDE QUALITY: Classic rigid-look rear end serves up 3.4 inches of rear wheel travel damped by a hidden preload-adjustable shock, offering up a great ride.
• LOW SEAT HEIGHT: 27.4-inch seat height lets riders get both feet on the pavement.
• FUEL EFFICIENT ENGINE: Estimated 49 mpg means over 200 miles of riding before fill-ups.
• STYLISH, TORQUE-RICH MOTOR: Beautifully chromed and polished 40-cubic-inch (649cc) air-cooled, SOHC 70-degree V-twin cranks out torquey low and mid-range power with minimal engine rpm—maximum torque is reached at only 3000 rpm—for powerful, smooth cruising performance.
• HIGH-TECH CYLINDERS: Forged, lightweight pistons run in a plated ceramic-composite cylinder-bore. This advanced design ensures superior heat dissipation, greater durability and reduced vibration.
