I got my 07 V-Star Custom on Cycle Trader last week. As a beginner, who is 6'1", 200#, I had to find a bike that could haul my sorry a$$ around in terms of actual size and power.
The V-star does great, agile for avoiding potholes and cell phone yapping cage meat, has the low end power for acceleration onto the interstate, with enough power left over for a burst of speed to overtake as needed.
I haven't had any real looong hills to deal with (South Texas here, c'mon folks) but I'm real happy (duh) with the bike.

Here's a photo of me on the bike to get an idea of size. (Driveway, engine off = no gear, before anyone comments :-))

First you need to upload the picture to a web hosting site like tinypic.com or Photobucket. When you upload the picture the site will give you a url that looks like http://i25.tinypic.com/23jk45i.jpg . Next you surround the url with the image tags so it looks like

Code: Select all
