People don't talk about the V Star 1300's much. It was nice to see a good hands on review. I'd choose this over the VTX since it's belt driven.

That ride is a beauty! Mine is a 2009 Tourer and runs like a charm! What I would like to see better, is the handle bar being kinda far to reach, also the floor board might work a bit forward, nothing that can not be easily fixed with aftermarket parts.

@@NicePantsLance End of the season 2 on this bike and I still like it (my first bike). In the meantime I have done some minor updates. Changed the stock bars for some HD 12" bars (perfect handles position now) and added a crash-bar, I've also tried some floorboard attached highway pegs, but I didn't like them that much, so now I'm thinking about some extensions (6 inches most likely, I'm 6ft3). Also I don't like sliding on the seat, so a small rider backrest might fix that issue. Sound-wise, I think that Cobra slip-ons might work just right.

Actually, if you're using offset steering and powering through, the big squishy suspension pets the tires bunch up together and you can pull some ASTOUNDING low speed moves on this, floorboards be damned(or scraped to hell, 😂)! (Edit) hold on ,"HAVE TO pull in clutch"?? If you're not needing to pull the clutch, you're not seeing how well this bike can turn, JS.

The 0-60 was quicker on the VStar than the CVO you rode a little while back. How does the ride compare? Which is the better bike to ride?

@NicePantsLance 3 жыл бұрын

The Vstar has the perfect amount of power and torque to get a full throttle launch without any wheel spin. The CVO just wanted to spin that rear tire! Then again, I've gotten much better at launching since I rode the CVO lol All in all, the CVO is the better bike in my opinion. More features, about the same comfort as the VSTAR, more power, snappy handling, etc... However, the VSTAR is the better bike for the money $$. That CVO was $20k+ when it first came out

My first cruiser is my present bike, a 2009 VStar 1300. I’m 49, 6’2” about 230 lbs. I would not want a smaller bike. I grew up on a dirt bike, never had a street bike until now. I just purchased my VStar this year. I love it. I haven’t been in a bike in 30+ years, but I took off on this beast the day I bought it like I’d never been away from them. Just like he said in the video, lots of power, comfy ride, very stable.....just don’t let it drop (like I did in my front yard🤦‍♂️) or you’ll feel every one of those 670 lbs.

As long as you're light on the wrist and practice throttle control, then you should be fine with any size motor! If it means anything to ya, my friends told me to start small too.
