hopalong Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Just got it today! 2001 model Yamaha V-Star.....650 Red but not BRIGHT red. Gets somewhere close to 60 MPG !!! Just right for the 90 mile trip to the Memphis range, and the 100 mile trip to the Dickson range. See you on the road !!! Hopalong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Provan Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Hop I ride my RoadStar to the range when the weather permits. Not much better than a ride to the range to go shoot, and a ride home. Hmm not a bad deal. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squishy Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I have had 2 V-Star's over the last 5 years . Great bikes . Started with a 650 and then stepped up to a 1100 Silvarado 2 years ago. (The 1100 gets 50 plus mpg). Ride to the matches when ever possible. Rode 7000 miles to matches last year. It has rained for the last week and a half here . Going a little crazy . Weatherman says it will rain most of next week also. Sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMS42 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Just got back from a ride on my new to me VStar 650 also. I bought it used in Oct. It had 340 miles on it and was such a deal that I couldn't pass it up. It's been a learning experience for me as I was used to riding a 250 OSSA dirtbike and that was in the 70s with some riding in the 80s. It a whole new fun thing for this 63 year old. A great bike to learn how to ride a street/highway bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trisha Lowry Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Nice! With gas prices they way they are I have to say riding my bike is a much better way to go...and with sunshine almost year round in Phoenix (we get our annual rain fall on a single Tuesday) then there is no excuse not to ride! Congrats on the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
