2009 Yamaha V Star 950 Tourer Motorcycles

Nice Bike, very Comfortable after i replaced the stock seat w/a saddleman...much needed upgrade, the stock seat caused pain after 45 minutes of riding, every time! Very good gas mileage and cruising range w/a tank full of gas, best i ever had!nearly 200 miles on a tank full(depending on driving condition of course) having saddlebags is awesome for me, i carry all soughts of stuff, having the sissy bar enables the ability to carry even more when needed, windshield, Great, i never get hit w/road crap anymore! Handling, very very good for a large feeling bike, windy interstates don't really phase this bike, very stable in windy conditions, quick moves to avoid road hazards are pretty easy...an efi tuner is needed even if you don't change the exhaust, the backfiring on deaccel. will drive some people crazy,like me, after removing the single baffle plate in the stock exhaust to give it a little more grawl made the backfiring even worse...a cobra tuner w/the o2 sensor connection w/ the pots turned low reduced the popping to a more than acceptable level for sure, gas mileage suffered slightly, by 2 to 4 MPG. The only thing really lacking on this model is POWER...specifically traveling at the sweet spot speeds between 65 and 75 MPH....the machine is nearly out of breath...pushing it beyond 80 feels like your doing exactly that, pushing it! It just feels like the bike is beyond its engine comfort zone....and for this reason, i am looking at bikes w/a larger displacement engine..just so you have the ability to zip out of a situation when cruising at 65-70. Overall, if the later i spoke about is not a concern or requirement, than this bike certainly is a perfect full spectrum machine
