This is my first cruiser, not sure if my 84 Honda Magna V65 counted...got a sweet deal on a single owner 2009 with 6700 miles. I've put 2000 miles on it so far this season and I've got no regrets. Cheap aftermarket parts, east to wrench on and with a bit of tweaking I've got the ergonomics dialed in to fit me almost perfectly.

I had one of these quite a few years ago. I did like the bike, but by the time I got to 40 - 45 mph I was ready for another gear - which sadly it didn't have. Oh for a 6th gear.

I have the xvs650 custom it was love at first sight and I found out its pros and cons afterward. Not much BHP power not particularly fast but its a cruiser so that a moot point. I have had some overtaking moments where it will go quick enough in the mid range to easily get the job done. BLAH BLAH BLAH! The most important part is wherever I take her once parked up I get at least one admirer from the grey haired elder statesman right down to a toddler with their secretly admiring dads in tow. Its not a harley thats true but it still catches eyes and i love it

Thanks for the video ! I have been away from riding about ten years due to a very severe auto accident, and decided to restart after riding since I was 8 years old. I thought I'd better start back easy with a cruiser, and decided my re-entry would be with a 2009 V-Star 650 Custom. Found a very clean one with 6, 000 miles and have been very pleased with it. Great starter, Cruiser, and Mine is Dark blue with blue ghost flames from the factory. Next year probably go up a bit to the 1300 Star for some interstate cruising. Maybe even hang on to this one as haven't seen any other 09's with the blue flame paint theme. This bike is an instant classic !!! Vance-Hines pipes on it definitely let them all know I'm coming ! LoL !!!

A mate brought one, learner boy road anyway. I shook my head. 2018 bike. No fuel guage, no ABS, single front disk and drum rear, shocking lights and for a 650cc only 40hp. He loves it and has been spending about $3k on bits so far in addition to the $10800 drive away price. But my buddy loves it, its all he needs.

These things go for 8000 to 9000 even on the 2nd hand market here in Australia, most have extras added, guess they are popular, might as well get a brand new one, not much more and you get 5yr warranty

On mine, front pipe exhaust did the exact same thing, rainbowed.

Hey Kris! Looking at both this and the INT 650 after putting along on my tu250 for 6 months (want something that won't be knocked around so much in the wind, occasional longer trips on highway etc). Roughly same price - interested to know which bike you prefer, think is better etc both in terms of rideability, build quality etc. Cheers!

I'm a Harley rider and my mate has just bought one of these. Get's it in a week and was sussing things out. More vid/info on the controls would have helped.
