This is a great 1st bike, I bought mine brand new in 2009 and have not had a single problem with it. Have kept up with the regular manintnce by letting the pro's do it at my local dealer. I am very impressed with it, I have not ridden since i was in high school and cannot imagine a better bike to start back out with.
If your are thinking about buying your first bike then THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU.....

Just purchased the V-Star 950 Tourer and it's my first bike. After taking my motorcycle class on a Suzuki 250cc piece of junk, the V-Star was a dream. I'm still getting used to the handling but the suspension, acceleration, breaking and shifting are all perfect. I am 6'0" tall and 167lbs and I have no problem with ergonomic comfort. For me, this is the perfect first bike. I looked at quite a few before I chose the V-Star: Suzuki M50 and C50t Boulevard, Kawasaki Vulcan 900 classic LT and even a few Honda's. The Yamaha V-Star 950 beat them all hands down; in looks and style, power and reliability. This bike will be with me for quite a while.
