    I bought my first bike last summer its a 2009 yamaha 650 silverado classic. Came with saddle bags aftermarket exhaust and adjustable windshield and wider seat and a headlight shade thing. All black with chrome accents everywhere. Has only 2100 kms on it . Payed 8,000 for it canadian. Bikes for some reason go alot cheaper in the USA. But anyways going for my license this summer . Pretty excited

    I got my first Yamaha Vstar 650 in 2010. I have owned 3 of these, my latest one I just bought last week. The Yamaha Vstar 650 Silverado is by FAR my favorite bike. Even thought its a cruiser, I have done 4 solo cross country trips on mine, and can easily do 600+ miles a day on it. Its not a fast bike, but its solid, and starts up like it cant wait to be out on the road, EVERY TIME, even in the dead of winter after it has sat for a month or 2.

    hell yeah just picked one up for 1800 with 12k on it! You're killing me with that white zip tie on JBL 😂 they do come in Black.

    Easiest most buttery bike to clutchless shift, but one big draw back to these is if you don’t get them cheap, I guarantee you that you will end up having to sell it cheap, they’re not a very valuable bike. Super solid bike though and so cozy to ride.

    • @rickylowry3213

      Yes so easy to clutchless shift on these

    I paid 2300 for a WAY worse condition bike. Great find!

  • @kenwittlief255

    the bike has 14K miles on it?
    that is a 100,000 mile motorbike, you got a great deal. All they need is oil, filters and tires.
    I see them on Craigstlist a few times a year for less than $2000. I already have a 650 that I got 10 years ago for $3.3k (with 7k miles) , and a V4 1300 Royal Star that I got for $3k (with 18k miles)... so I dont really need a spare. But its nice to know they are around.
    yours would have more HP if you left the baffles in, you have de-tuned the exhaust
    I have to give you credit, riding around you are reving it up like it needs. These are high RPM engines, if you are not hitting the rev limiter, you have not hit the peak HP yet. Dont lug it like its a HD.

    Beautiful V Star 650 Custom! Never saw that color before? Bikes like that are 2-3 times that price here anywhere near Cleveland, OH. I went a couple hours away to Mansfield to look at and buy my V Star 250. Dealer wouldn't go less than 3,900 for the 2018 bike with 5,094M on it. Same bike, different color with less milage in MN was 3,200. And that's 5 states away from me! I wish I could get a V Star 650 Custom that cheap!?

    I just got one in a trade for $400 trade value with 11k miles. Needs new tires and I have to do some title work since it’s an abandoned barn find, but I’m happy.

    • @unstoppableking3235
      @unstoppableking3235 7 месяцев назад +1

      I bought one yesterday with 20,000 mileage for $14 . A 1999 u think its a good deal?

    • @Its_3055
      @Its_3055 3 месяца назад

      ​@unstoppableking3235 if it has nothing wrong with it that's a decent price. I would've talked em down to maybe 11 or 12 but that ain't bad though. I bought my 04 650 for 2300 and all it needs is a new headlight bulb and a valve adjustment and oil change

    • @Its_3055
      @Its_3055 3 месяца назад

      ​@@imrelentless97650s are cheaper but the 1100s don't go for much more tbh maybe like 400 or 500 more than a 650. I'd get the 1100 though if it were me

    @oldsteel6687 7 месяцев назад +1

    The xvs 650s are generally bullet proof well engineered and incredibly reliable they go on and on, shaft drives on these are very good.... so long as you change the oil every so often it wont let you down....

    That is a score. I actually just picked up a 98 V Star 650 7k miles a couple of months ago first motorcycle for dirt cheap from a motorcycle shop. But since it is winter I am not riding it. Battery died, :( I tried to start it a couple of days ago just to sit on it. lol. Will ride it for a couple of years and pick up a Bonneville.

  • @tombaily29

    A V star 650 would be a good deal at under $2,000. Getting one for $1,300 is a great deal.

    I just picked up a 2006 35k miles for $200. Leaking oil and wasnt running. Just the plastic sensor was cracked for the oil so $12 fix there and than a good carb cleaning should, hopefully, take care of the non running part.

  • @spoenk7448
    @spoenk7448 9 месяцев назад

    Hell yeah, short of perhaps missing safety features, I don't want to part with my hard earned money. Maintenance is going to be a little more expensive perhaps than a new one, but you have the luxury of picking one that is known to be reliable.
    I picked up a €1200 Deauville that has cost me all of €450 in maintenance so far in a couple of years. Fantastic bike, though a little dull. I like dull.
