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.
Engine:
Beautifully chromed and polished 40-cubic-inch (649cc) air-cooled, SOHC 70-degree V-twin cranks out torquey low and mid-range power with minimal engine rpm—maximum torque is reached at only 3000 rpm—for powerful, smooth cruising performance.
Forged, lightweight pistons. Greater durability and reduced vibration and reciprocating mass.
Efficient and quiet shaft drive. Requires almost no maintenance.
Ceramic-composite, cylinder-bore plating ensures superior heat dissipation. Offers better cooling and longer engine life.
Thick, cylnder cooling fins. Enhances the stylish look while increasing efficiency.
Dual, heated Mikuni® 28mm carburetors with a throttle position sensor (TPS) features a progressive pulley, electronic fuel pump and handy side-mounted air filter. Provides a consistent fuel flow, great throttle response and optimum power throughout the rev-range.
Wide-ratio five-speed transmission ensures extremely usable, cruiser-friendly power delivery to the asphalt.
Efficient and quiet shaft drive requires almost no maintenance.
Two-into-two chrome exhaust pipes create sleek styling and deliver maximum low- and mid-range engine output.
Chassis/Suspension:
Stout, large-diameter steel frame is designed to provide low seat height with ample legroom.
Extra long 64-inch wheelbase produces a long, low, retro profle with spacious ergonomics for added rider and passenger comfort and predictable handling.
Stylish heel/toe shifter adds versatility and enhances overall cruising comfort.
Comfortably placed full-size rider floorboards enhance ride by minimizing vibration and fatigue.
Telescopic 43mm front fork with chromed covers and 5.5 inches of travel ensures a smooth ride with stylish durability.

Single front disc and rear drum brakes deliver strong, confidence-inspiring stopping power.
Wide, retro-style handlebars evoke classic design, with roomy ergonomics for enhanced rider comfort.
Fat front tire on wire-spoked wheel combines retro styling with solid handling and traction.
