Overview
The 2010 Yamaha V-Star Classic is a cruiser with an air-cooled 649 cm³, 70-degree V-twin, SOHC and two valves per cylinder. It produces 52 Nm of torque at 3,000 rpm and weighs 247 kg.
Its 709 mm seat height brings the rider close to the ground for stops, while the 247 kg weight takes deliberate control during slow maneuvering and parking. The shaft drive needs no chain cleaning or adjustment, and rear-suspension preload can be adjusted for the rider and load.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Low seat
The 709 mm seat height makes it easier to put a foot down at stops.
Shaft drive
With no chain to clean or adjust, routine final-drive upkeep is simpler.
Low-speed torque
Peak torque arrives at 3,000 rpm, giving the engine useful pull without needing high revs.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speed
At 247 kg, the bike takes more effort to maneuver and steady when parking.
Rear drum brake
The 200 mm rear drum does not offer the same direct feel as the 298 mm front disc.
