invest in some good gloves ...your hands are the first thing that hits the ground, I have hit the ground 3 times on a bike, good gloves that slide is the best,,, love the bike :)
@Mark Andrews for me I need it to be comfy would try out some gear and pick what I like the best :), if you pick the full-faced helmet get one with good ventilation and when it comes to bikes I think you have a dream bike go for it :)
This looks fun to zip around town in but I just love my vtx 1800 to much for freeway 😏. I can be cruising at 90 and full throttle it and damn that beast just keeps going
So what I don't get is... I have a vstar 650 & a 250.. why is it my 650 tops out round 65ish, but I can get my 250 up to 75ish... I never understood that. I've even got open pipes etc, guess gonna have to mod to go faster on the 650, but then I'm like or should I size up. Sux cause I like the 650s weight..
I have the same problem with my current 650, I believe it just needs more air flow and a jet kit. The 650 in this video has been sold. The previous owner before me took it at a performance shop an got a lot of mods done, so it topped out at 98 mph.
@@anthony_0501 yea everyone I talk to is like oh yea that bike should be able to go to 90, I've heard if open the air flow will help some, but still you'd think a 650 would at least go 80 no prob lol
I really don’t understand. My 650 VStar has topped out past 85 and it’s all stock. I can run all day at 70 75 mph with no problem at all. Even at 65 mph when I hit a throttle it feels like there’s plenty to go yet. It looks like this guy‘s doing more than 65 too.
You are so damn lucky you can always ride your bike because in Miami is always summer :D
Yes it is!
I own a stroker ironhead...vstars are fn awesome bikes....period...all bikes are!!!
Agreed!
Are we there yet? 😁

I agree 100% that’s why I sold this bike, just not enough power to be safely on a highway or a faster road.
No gloves. Big-ass mistake. Nice rolling stop through a stop sign as well
Great bike though
what size are your drag bars and the risers? Link?
I sadly dont have this bike anymore, but they were harley straight drag bars, not sure on the exact riser size, sorry.
He is pushing a close c note!!!!!
What exhaust do you ha e on the bike?
stock exhaust with a muffler delete, so straight pipe.
Riding in on the road where the lights are on
All night, on the beach till the break of dawn
I'm goin to Miami
"Welcome to Miami"
Great riding at night, too busy during the day, let me know when you plan on it, I’m always down to ride with someone.
What kind of camera and mount are you using ?
At this point in time, I was use a bunch of small GoPro mount that angled the camera froward, wasn’t pretty. Now I am using an Amazon center mount.

@@retrorewindllc9363 agreed, that’s one of the main reasons I went over to sport bikes.
At th8s speed it is death or worse if you go down! Be careful!!!!! Relax and enjoy!
Nothing to prove out there on tge pavement!

How fast are you averaging on this ride?
About 70-90 mph, top speed I’ve had on this bike is about 98 mph, but that’s because I had a jet kit, intake, and exhaust on the bike.
I got 103mph one time on a cool night going downhill on the interstate with exhaust and jet kit, but the average top speed is about 98 mph
What exhaust ?
its a 2 inch straight pipe, no specific brand.
shouts louder we can't hear :) :) :)
Not funny, laughed
