Looking for a cruiser in the 900cc-1300cc range. Don't need anything fancy or flashy, just a good reliable ride.

So...........what did you find?

Pishers?

Ride review?

Just asking because I know some old crazy motorcycle lover who’s itching to know.

Haha, 2007 Vstar 1300 with 3k on it. Looks brand new and got it for a song.

Outstanding! Darn good bikes. Had an 07 vstar 1100 several years ago. You’ll have to give us a ride report soon.

The VStars have been one of the best buys on the market or years ...

I rode a VStar 650 daily for about 5 years and it was fantastic. 

This one is a great bike. Put several hundred miles on it so far and it will get up and go. Even did about 150 2-up with the wife Saturday and it was a smooth ride. Plenty of power, super stable, and the wife even remarked how comfortable it is.

Picture below is how it came. Since, I've put Cobra slip-ons on it and now it really growls. Changed grips and handle bar (Baron's touring) to get a little more height and reach. National Cycle QD windshield for those 2-up rides and saddlebags. Just sent the ECU out to get flashed and dyno results say (with Cobra pipes) it should gain about 10 hp and more torque. The flash will also smooth out the throttle and decel popping. Non of those were bad to begin with but it should really be smooth now. 

Most of all, I forgot how much I really enjoyed just being out in the air and on the road!

There is absolutely no equal for that.

Great looking bike!
