Yamaha V-Star 250 XVS250

Ecconomical, Reliable and Well Built – I recently purchased a 2009 Vstar 250 privately. I was very fortunate as it was an urgent sale and was at a great price..

pearl. The bike rides very well.. corners nice and is a pleasure to ride.. it is very underpowered.. but what it loses in power it gains in economy.. I previously had a Hyosung gtr650r so the step down in power is very noticeable for me.. but the quality and finish is better.. since I have owned the vstar it has been very reliable and apart from regular wear and tear items like oil, tyres, etc it has been a pleasure.. I find the seat uncomfortable after an hour, but I have a back injury so I don't expect that will affect most people. the Yamaha feels confident on the road, brakes aren't stellar, but they work ok and the gearbox can be a bit clunky, maybe a different oil will settle it down a bit.. the bike is easy to push around the garden and reverse. with low seat height.. the cruiser riding style takes a bit of getting used to coming from a sports bike.. but its something you get used to fairly quickly..

I am very happy with my Vstar and look forward to many miles of trouble free riding..

are looking for your first bike. This xv250 is flawless. I ride 1988 xv250 and have ridden many including 2012. You won't be dissapointed.

The only dis-like is that if you stall she will only start in nutural. Handling, style and touque Only starts in nutural.
