Well I bought my first bike a few weeks ago. The Yamaha vstar650 classic 2004 model. What a bike. I still can't wipe the smile off my face when I go for a ride. I'm just wondering what took me so long to buy a bike in the first place. Anyway I love everything about the bike except that it should have one more gear for the highway. It just feels like it needs it and some times I will try to shift up looking for an extra gear. Has anyone ever had this same issue?
Regards,
Vstar

Hi vstar:
Congratulation on your new bike. I have its father, the XV535 Virago. I think the engine in the vstar is a bored out 535.
