2014 Yamaha V Star on 2040-motos

Personal Thoughts and Info:

I have owned this motorcycle since June 2014; I personally purchased the motorcycle from a local dealer as a brand new product with only 5 miles on the odometer and no modifications made to it.  Since purchasing I have used the bike for only four trips, each of which spanned no father than 200 miles there and back; all other travels have been on/off commuting (using maybe once or twice in a week, 8-10 times a month) to and from work, which is no more than 15 minutes from my residence.

I have experienced zero operational issues or faults in the entirety of owning this motorcycle; it accelerates and breaks as quickly as the day I first drove it home; it still continues to be as comfortable and enjoyable to ride as it was day one.  I have often made comments saying that "it feels like a recliner on wheels" because of the level of comfort while commuting to and from work.

This motorcycle is in GREAT condition with very low milage. Regular maintenance has been performed and the motorcycle has been stored in covered shelter with tarp as added protection.

2014 Yamaha V-Star 950 Tourer Total Motorcycle Key Features

• The V Star 950 Tourer rolls out with a windshield, leather-wrapped hard sidebags, and a passenger backrest all standard, ready for the open road or the commute to school or work.
• V Star 950 Tourer is the benchmark in the entry cruiser touring class, appealing to seasoned riders as well as those looking for a friendly entry-level cruiser. The air-cooled V-twin delivers plenty of distinctive, big-cruiser character and pulsing torque feel. Seat height is an extra-low 26.6 inches. The full-sized chassis has a long, low look and provides spacious comfort. Handling is sporty and responsive, great for curvy back roads and commuting around town as well as open-highway cruising.
• The 942cc 60° V-twin engine is both simple and sophisticated. Sure, there’s no-fuss air cooling for traditional looks. But inside you’ll find the reason for the surprisingly spirited performance: four-valve cylinder heads, ceramic-composite-lined cylinders, forged aluminum pistons, and fuel injection. The meticulously tuned 2-into-1 exhaust system has a throaty exhaust note, and also 3-way catalyst technology to reduce air pollution.
• The carefully designed chassis contributes to an exceptionally light feeling riders are sure to appreciate. The double-cradle steel main frame offers an ideal rigidity balance in the longitudinal, lateral, and torsional directions, using the engine as a stressed member. With the engine mounting position slightly forward for optimum front-rear weight distribution and its large, 18-inch front wheel, V Star 950 Tourer has outstanding handling performance.
• The V Star 950 Tourer achieves fuel economy up to an estimated 47 mpg* with a fuel tank that holds 4.5 gallons of gas.
• Fenders are real steel, front and rear. That adds to the quality look and feel, and makes customization easier.
