Forty cubic-inches of air-cooled, V-twin cranking out smooth low- and mid-range torque, a 650 V-Star packs a whole lot of Yamaha cruising attitude into a compact package.

Mounted atop the beautiful teardrop tank, this chromed speedometer designed with a large face for easy reading of tripmeter/odometer displays, as well as turn signal, neutral, high beam, and engine diagnostic indicator lights.

Low-maintenance shaft drive provides quiet, hassle-free performance. Right-side two-into-two chrome exhaust pipes contribute to the sleek styling and sweet aural persona of a V-Star 650.
