I just got into riding. I spoiled myself and got a mint 2006 1100 custom with 6k miles on her. My first bike. I could not be a happier man. I am constantly looking for reasons just to get out and ride now. My Vstar Is what is getting me through this pandemic.

Mind if I ask how much u paid? I’m about to get one for $3000 in mint condition really nice with 6,xxx miles on it and wondering what kind of deal I’m getting

@Mikesim1981 4 ай бұрын

I paid $4500 over two years ago. Still have the bike. I’ve had no issues with it and I’ve put over 25,000 km on it. I added aftermarket pipes and added aftermarket seat, but other than that I left it stock. I’m looking forward to the upcoming season and have no interest in getting a different bike. Sounds like a fair deal to me.

It's sick how cheap bikes are in the US. I've got a 2001 V-Star 1100 and I payed 6500€ for it which is roughly $7300. On top of that we have about 5-6 months of riding time in the year in Finland. And the government is talking about increasing the taxes and payments of bikes even further... I wish I lived in the US :D

I've owned my 06 V-Star 1100 Classic Silverado for close to 10 years now, still the original Yuasa battery! It's been a great bike for me and my fiancé. Just haven't had much time to ride. She only has 4,500 miles! V-Stars are good bikes. It's almost impossible to find a bad one and if you do, it was probably abused, but they still run!! I've never seen one with a bad engine in my experience with them and talking to other V-Star owners.

@1961fairlane500 7 жыл бұрын

I see your post is 7 months ago and you said your bike had 4500 miles on it. About four years ago when mine hit around 4500 miles ( I also have the '06 ) the starter clutch went out. I was able to replace it myself, but if you take it to a shop they are going to charge at least $1400!!! What pissed me off most about that is that Yamaha knew there was a problem with the starter clutch and never did a recall. Other than that the only thing I've had to do is regular maintenance. I've been ridin' this bike for nine years now and wouldn't get rid of it for nothin'!!!!

The Vulcan 900 wins because of Belt Drive and liquid cooled. Don't get me wrong I love my Yamaha SR500 which is now a 600 but for stretching out on the highway I take my 900 Vulcan. In these Catskill Mountain twisties my SR600 is "the bomb." I did extensive performance mods to improve already stellar handling.

In my area there are more shadows and they are a little cheaper. But what is your opinion? Is one better than the other or is it all subjective?

the shadow has more power, and if they are cheap i would go with that. but it depends on which one you like better

Amrish Kumar I would go with the 650 custom to learn on. Then, you will probably want something in the 1650cc range if you’re still riding in a year or two.
