For years, 40 cubic-inches was a lot of motor. Guess what, it still is, sepecially when a sweet, overhead-cam 40-inch V-twin powers a bike that doesn’t weigh so much. The V Star Classic is light, maneuverable and ready for you to make your own.
| Key Features: |
- Retro style is even cooler when it’s combined with modern engineering, including an SOHC air-cooled V-twin and shaft drive.
- Rider floorboards, steel fenders, custom-looking clear turn signals, lots of chrome, etc. — the V Star Classic represents tremendous cruiser bang for the buck.
- Rigid-look frame provides a great ride via a hidden rear shock with 3.9 inches of travel.
- The V Star Classic achieves fuel economy up to an estimated 49 mpg** with a fuel tank that holds 4.2 gallons of gas.
