Background

Based on the Yamaha Virago 535 engine, the Dragstar (named V Star in USA) cylinders were bored an additional 5 mm to 81 mm and stroked 4 mm more to 63 mm, to net a displacement of 649 cc. The Dragstar comes in two models. The custom with a lower seat height 695 mm (27.4 in) and slightly less weight, and the classic with a higher seat height of 708 mm (27.9 in). The custom is approximately 230 kg (510 lb) and the classic approximately 30 kg heavier 260 kg (570 lb).

The Yamaha DragStar 650 is sold in the U.S. as the entry-level versions of the V-Star line. That line was offered from 1998 to 2008 in two different versions: the Classic and the Silverado. Both versions are built around the same 649 cc v-twin engine. The V-Star line offers the visual appeal of larger v-twin motorcycles paired with the fuel efficiency, reliability, and nimble handling of a mid-size cruiser.

Both V-Star versions also offer extensive opportunities for customization. As with other cruisers, a number of after-market manufacturers and distributors offer chrome, power-enhancement, lighting, and other rider enhancements designed to enhance rider enjoyment of V-Star 650 motorcycles.

V-star

The V-Star 650 (and even the 1100) bikes come in three trims:

  • V-Star Custom (650) XVS650 - Base version for long-distance cruising.
  • V-Star Classic (650) XVS650A - The same frame as the V-star Custom but with wider front wheel, metal fenders, longer bodywork, less chromed styling, dragged handlebars, wider seat and numerous styling differences.
  • V-Star Silverado (650) - Much as the V-Star Classic with saddlebags and a few other "touring" additions

All these are the base versions of the RoadStar. The "RoadStar" and "RoyalStar" generally refers to the class of bikes which are made and fine-tuned for touring performance
