LOW AND LEAN.
JUST LIKE THE PRICE.
For years, 40 cubic inches was a lot of motor. It still is—
especially when a sweet, beautifully chromed overhead–cam
40–inch V–twin powers such a nimble package as this.
Though it’s got a big-bike presence, the V Star
®
Custom
is light and maneuverable. Matter of fact, at a mere 514
pounds, it’s the lightest of the big Stars, which means it
accelerates, decelerates and goes around corners like
nobody’s business. And just look at all that style and
performance: It’s got a 19–inch tire up front and a 15–inch
fatty out back, dual exhausts, a fl at handlebar, bobbed
rear fender and a seat just 27.4 inches off the ground
for confi dent handling. Plus, there’s plenty of gleaming,
high–quality Star chrome all over. Truth is, you’d be hard–
pressed to fi nd a cruiser with more bang for the buck.
Which means lots of money left over to personalize it,
if you please, to make it truly your own.

Good things really do come in small packages. Take the V Star
®
250—
it has a huge heart and all kinds of spunk rumbling out of its air–cooled overhead–cam V–twin engine.
With a wet weight of a mere 323 pounds and a nice ‘n’ low, comfortable, 27–inch seat height, this bike
moves right out and is a breeze to handle. Plus, it’s loaded with all kinds of goodies: Chrome dual exhausts,
chopped rear fender, adjustable twin rear shocks, telescopic front fork, fl at drag–style handlebar, stylish
spoke wheels and full Star attitude. The V Star 250 is one sweet bike to learn on, or a surprisingly fun one
to ride all over town if you’re a more experienced rider who knows that bigger isn’t always better.
