Would a 650 v-star haul my 230 pound ass around along with my wife? Or do I deffinately need an 1100?

I ride a 650 vstar and I'm bigger than you. I also ride two up of course shes only about 115-120. I have no problems running 70-75 with just me or me and her. The only downside to a Vstar 650 is it is a 5spd and you keep wanting to shift into a 6th gear that isn't there. So when running highway speeds it is revving but not dangerously high. Even the alleged vibrations of the 650 are not as bad as everyone said they are nor is the power really that lacking. If you are used to a sportbike or bigger than 650 sure itll be a dog. But if its your first bike I think you'll be happy for a while. I think it's an excellent beginner bike. |
