2010 Yamaha V Star Classic
Nothing's more classic than a great deal
For years, 40 cubic inches was a lot of motor. Guess what. It still is. Especially 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 it your own.
