2009 Yamaha
V Star 950
MSRP $7,890
A big factor in this appealing equation is the price. With it retailing at only a tad over $1200 more than the little V-Star 650 Classic, and feeling far more like a full-sized cruiser, we would venture to guess the days of the 650 are numbered. Bottom line is the V-Star 950 does everything really well; handles light, feels big, looks stylish. Plain and simple, behind the controls of the Star 950 is a very, very nice place to be.
