Well I'm excited! V Star 650

[Ricochet]

Mark ordered me a 2008 Yamaha V Star Classic, it's black and 649 cc's. I should have it in a week or two or three. I am also registered to take a Motorcycle Safety class in July. That should help me get back into the saddle since it has been quite a few years since I rode.

He will order him one soon also. Then not only will we save during this gas pricing craziness, we can have some fun once we get our old bones greased and moving again LOL.

Here is a picture of the bike I am getting.

That is a sharp looking bike. That's the exact one I've been looking at myself. Enjoy and ride safe!

That's a good looking bike. The gas crunch has made me dig my bike out too.

[Guest Natosha]

I think you are going through a mid life crisis! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Enjoy....

My first bike was Kawasaki 650. It was old and not pretty, but it was mine and loved it while I had it. Have Honda VTX 1300C now.

Didn't start riding till my mid 30's myself...and still kick my tail I didn't start sooner.

Good looking bike! Keep it between the ditches

That is a nice bike. My wife started on something similar, a Shadow 750 ACE.

You will hate changing the oil on it though (assuming you don't take it to the dealer). You have to remove the exhaust pipes to get to the oil filter (unless they changed that recently). Ex harley mechanic here...

Thanks everyone! Ya know, I have to do my part on the gas shortage thingy so I have to "make" myself ride that old ugly thang! Ha! And I know I won't have any fun on it, dag blasted thang! Hahaha

Brian, I am hoping hubby will do my oil changes but who knows, I might have to get in there and learn to do it myself and if it is a big pain I have a son that is a mechanic and rides bikes also. So I am covered but I think maybe since this will be my bike I need to learn to take care of it myself even if I do have to remove the pipes which doesn't sound fun at all.

Nice bike there G & D: enjoy it!!!

Nice bike. i am glad your husband seen the light and got you a motorcycle. This is a picture of my 2005 Kawasaki Mean Streak 1600 that I bought a little over a month ago. I sold my ZZR1200 and bought this so I can ride with my wife and just cruise with her.

[Ricochet]

Very nice ZZRGuy, I am sure your wife is happy about that. When Mark gets his bike we want to go out and cruise together also, I think it will be so much fun!

Thanks everyone!

In the July issue of Cruiser magazine there is a 650 V-Star article compared with two other 650cc bikes.
