Overview
The Yamaha V Star 1300 is a cruiser produced from 2007 to 2017. The 2017 model has a 1,311.0 cm³ liquid-cooled, four-stroke V-Twin rated at 74 hp (55 kW), with a wet weight of 303 kg.
Its 691 mm seat height gives a low seating position, while the 303 kg wet weight can make low-speed maneuvering more demanding. The 18.6-liter tank and stated fuel consumption of 5.6 liters/100 km work out to about 332 km per tank. Belt final drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment; the seat height dropped from 714 mm in 2011 to 691 mm in 2012.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Low seat
The 691 mm seat height makes it easier for many riders to put their feet down at a stop.
Belt final drive
The belt drive avoids the regular cleaning and adjustment required by a chain.
Dual front discs
Two 298 mm front discs provide braking at both sides of the front wheel.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speed
At 303 kg wet, the V Star 1300 takes more effort to maneuver around a parking lot or move by hand.
