FOR SALE: 2016 Yamaha V-Star 650 Custom — Where Attitude Meets Asphalt Turn the key and feel the heartbeat of a classic. This 2016 Yamaha V-Star 650 Custom isn’t just a bike—it’s your ticket to open roads, late-night rides, and that unmistakable cruiser swagger. With its low-slung stance and stripped-back “bobbed” styling, it looks like it rolled straight out of a custom garage… but without the custom price tag. Powered by a smooth 649cc air-cooled V-twin, this machine delivers around 40 horsepower and a satisfying 37.5 ft-lbs of torque—perfect for new riders or anyone who just wants an easy, confidence-inspiring cruise. The 5-speed transmission and low-maintenance shaft drive mean less fuss, more riding. Slide into the ultra-low 27.4-inch seat, stretch out with the forward controls, and settle into a ride that feels natural from the first metre. Whether you’re commuting, cruising the coast, or chasing sunsets, this V-Star makes every ride feel like an escape. Why you’ll love it: * Classic bobber-inspired styling with chrome or blacked-out attitude * Smooth, reliable V-twin engine—built to go the distance * Beginner-friendly and learner-approved * Comfortable low seat height—easy to handle and confidence boosting * Excellent fuel economy (~49 mpg) so you ride more, stop less * Shaft drive = minimal maintenance, maximum riding time The essentials: * 649cc V-twin, air-cooled * 5-speed gearbox * Shaft drive * 514 lbs (wet) * 4.2-gallon tank * Telescopic front fork + adjustable rear shock This is the kind of bike that doesn’t just get you from A to B—it makes you want to take the long way home.
