Feels like real cruiser. Style and sound is very right. No wonder this bike been around since 1988

10 years later 99% still Virgins

0:31 bless you

hey if someone had situation like that please answer, i want to cut stock exhaust will it sound horible bc i love big sounds

Cant decide between these or a hacker maybem exhaust...

Just installed these on my 23 Scout Bobber 60! Loud is not a good description! Lol

I can't get used to shifting. Just got one of these as a beginner, and I keep stalling.

I LOVE the charm of this Yamaha. It sounds like a perfectly tuned machine. What more could you want in a smaller, dependable bike than a 250cc V-Twin ? How cool is that ? Very cool. My brother's partner made the mistake of buying him a Vulcan 900 as his first bike. It was a beast and WAY too much bike for him and it made him hate motorcycles. Mind you my brother and I rode my Honda XR80 in the 1980's all the time, and fast forward 30 years and my brother's partner should've got him this bike. EDIT : You're on the freeway effortlessly !

Having that motorcycle fly by you was actually an AWESOME thing, because that shows the V Star's relativity to the speed on the speed way.. Not recommended for the speed way, but it'll perform in short bursts..

Just bought one as my first bike. But still figuring out how to adjust suspension

I actually had a live grenade go off in the staging area. It was mine and the blast destroyed my pouch. It is a negligent discharge but the funny thing before that was someone had their m203 go off seconds before I bumped the pin out of my grenade by accident and Andy told the guy not to load another grenade until we actually get down to the arena and the he was complaining about how I got a pass for the thing was with a thunder B unless you're using devils and I was using pineapples they don't shoot babies everywhere like a 40mm hornet's nest would

I would love this if I liked to jerk off dudes

Pretty sure that's a Virago.

you definitely aren’t a fighter if you can’t see that they are just doing different types of pads

That bike seems sketchy at speed

What's that flashing light?

Have you gotten a check engine light?

What the hell is the instructor doing?

So 250cc V-Twin Virago was just fine in Highway 👍👍

Yes a V-Star 250 can handle the highway. But I suggest not getting too far from home on it, and have a road service plan. It has tube type tires that are much easier to puncture than tubeless tires, and require a tow truck when you have a flat. I stay within the towing range of my road service plan. I have had it up to 76 mph GPS. I'm 6' 240 and fit fine. Too bad about the tube type tires, if it weren't for that it would make a great small touring bike. I have tried windshields, they make things FAR WORSE for me. I'd rather have the wind blast spread out evenly than concentrated directly at my head. My jacket and full face helmet provide plenty of wind protection.

Empty? wtf?

Honestly Unless you're riding the highway everyday or going on long long road trips, a 250cc is more than enough. I always hated the "Its not enough for a man" bullshit. I ride a scooter everyday all day long and I love it. Granted I did a lot of modification to it, but I only have like $1,800 in total sunk into it. I literally bought an X-Pro 150cc bali, (Yes, from amazon) for $750 shipped to my front door, I went online and bought a kit to turn it into a 232cc, then swapped out the carb for an EFI kit. After that just a few tweaks to the fuel delivery and an upgraded CDI to let the redline go from like 4500ish up to 9,000rpm and now the thing is an absolute monster. XD Oh, and I did get a new CVT kit for the added torque and to shift the power to the top end which highly increased my top speed. My scooter can outrun most small motorcycles without any problems at all, including the Rebel 300 and bikes in that range. If you put the work in, you can make those GY6 Honda and Honda Clone engine insanely fast, I've seen guys that have them going well over 100mph and still room to fly lol. They even make kits where you can swap your Rukus over to a 232cc lol

In my experience, I ended up getting a bit of speed wobble if I took it up to 55-60

If I get passed by a harley I usually think there's something wrong with my Voyager but it never happens when I'm riding my fzr1000

Lame

The moral of this video is to remember that signal light doesn't turn off for you.

What the frick was going on here?

Although at the time you were unexperience, you sacrafice your self to provide us with information. You went on a highway to help your viewers even if you had little experience. Im glad you made it back in one peace. I solute you (Standing up and sluting you for your bravery).

How many gears you have sounds like your in 5th gear

is this good for a beginner motorcycle? i’m 15 and wanting to get my motorcycle license

what a wonderful landscape bro!

downsized a few years ago...shadow 750 to a v star 250; twas a compromise...I wanted a suzuki S40 but couldn't afford it; my v star 250 has the drag bars so my 'tactile' interface is different from the buckhorn bars on yours; the fastest I have had mine was 65-70 mph for short distances & usually 50-55 mph for longer distances; while the bike can handle it, my hands suffer from the higher rpm's above 50 mph due to vibrations in the handlebar...

How do you feel the engine running at 75mph, don't you feel it to forced? to keep that speed long distances?

Let's not forget a slow bike is still a fast bike you can still blow out a corner just the same

That motor sounds like it's in stealth mode.

At 2:40 when other big chopper passed. You will feel very small. I have 250cc too, I know how that feel.

Stupid, making a video driving into the sun.

I sold my 750 Intruder last year due lung cancer, I didn't have the strength to handle it. I thought my riding days were over. I bought a 250 Vstar and I'm able to keep riding. I can do 75 mph and that's enough for me

don't ever let anyone tell you that a 249cc cannot get in the highway. As a matter of fact, there is nothing more practical to ride than a 249cc. And (a little secret, ssssh!) most of us (regardless of what we ride) spent more than 90% of our daily rides in secondary roads. I personally (1130cc) seldom get my ride in the highway. So to say, if you like riding, a 250 is mostly a very pleasant motorcycle to go around every day and not getting a complicated life. Matter of opinion, I guess.

Better than good, the landscape along with the sunset in all its splendor are so captivating that it makes the soul melt with sensations of tranquility, peace and harmony to reach such a perfect climax of divinity. Great video and my congratulations and good wishes to you and yours

Sounds great

Neat

Sure it can, a 250 will do 70 miles per hour or better, fast enough. As far as riding, you need to relax guy, take it easy, check your mirrors slowly, make your changes slowly, don't worry about looking at everything that passes you. You just need to relax and don't push the bike too much as you're learning.

I owned one of those. Top speed was 70 mph it’s a rough ride on the hwy. I wouldn’t suggest getting on the interstate

tf

Are you running them with or with out the baffles?

I can tell you're learning to ride. Just keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it soon.

She's been rode hard and put up wet!

dude awseome !!! are you in NOVA ?
