great vid. I got a 650 v star and have had no problems cruising. Put 19780km and still going in my first year. Sep 2nd will be my 1st year. i've had my 650 doing 140/142kmph. has just under 80 thousand and bought it at 59385. Love the v stars
Did you notice a big difference after you had it flashed by Ivan? I want to do the air intake and the flash at the same time. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
@@vadereighty-eight6612 yes I did from response, power, rev limiter is higher and the motor runs cooler it is well worth it my friend. Look at his website run what ever he has on the best dyno charts. Me I ran stock airbox with highflo filter drilled out in the back with a cobra slip on and it screams
@@vadereighty-eight6612 great bike wish it was still made honestly its 1 of the most under rated cruiser/tourer bikes and best thing motors are cheap if you ever need 1 and I highly doubt you ever will its a rock solid bike.
@@vadereighty-eight6612 make a in depth review on the bike I have always wondered about the speakers and the touch screen or GPS, I have the tourer with a windshield but always wanted that fairing
Please I rode 2009 Yamaha V Star 1300 with Tsukayu jumbo saddlebags and a Givi tour pack across the USA. From New York to Marina California stayed a while and rode back to NY. I rode back roads and at times on route 40 in Wyoming I rode to Pinedale fora few days. I never had a problem either on highways doing 90 to 100 or on any backcountry roads. Your limit is all in your head. People have been crossing the USA on 350 cc and smaller.
I have a 2013 vstar 1300 now and love it. But a shadow 750 can ride on the highway. My first bike was a shadow 750 and I daily rode it about a hundred miles a day 95% of it was on the highway with a 75mph speed limit and i always ride farser than that lol. I even went on a 3 thousand mile ride with my shadow 750. Never had any issues with my shadow and I rode that thing very hard everyday.
It holds up for the most part, but some fork deflectors would do wonders for buffetting I imagine. I installed the shorter windshield over the winter while it's been in storage, so we'll see how the dynamic changes with that as well. I intend on making a few videos as the season starts to get back into the swing of things. lol. Thanks for watching!
I like the video and know that stretch well. I ride my V Star 1300 Tourer on the 401 from Bell River to Ojibway Parkway back and forth to work. The assorted tunnels are great.
it doesn't, which I thought was kind of silly. but I average about 240-260 km's on a tank of gas before the fuel light comes on. from there (my estimate only), you probably have about 50-60km's to find a gas station from there. lol.

Is there any wind buffeting on helmet while high speed cursing?
@@ahbrian i feel like it would depend on the type of helmet and how tall the windshield is compared to how big you are.
Dude I love my vstar 1300 100% bulletproof, ivans tune and a stage 1 that thing still keeps up with the new harleys.

That thing is flying on the highway. I went with my 2009, to around 160Km\h and I felt that there's room for more!
Hello from the other side of the river. Detroit. I am looking into moving up to the 1300 next year. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds awesome

I'm sure it would've been fine if I had kept it for a few more years. Lol. I was just so green to riding still that I didn't know any better. Lol.
How does that stock batwing fairing feel? I hear there's wind that comes up from below it..

In this video, these are the stock bars that came with the bike.
@@vadereighty-eight6612 oh my "stock" bars are different...I like those......TU
The 750 I just sold can keep up on the highway. The 1300 vstar I just bought can keep up on the highway
Of course it can, it’s been around since 2007. 🙄🤦♂️
What exhaust
Freedom Performance 2 into 1 combat exhaust
He'll yes. All day long. It's 80 ci for christ sake
Does the Deluxe have a fuel gauge??
it doesn't, which I thought was kind of silly. but I average about 240-260 km's on a tank of gas before the fuel light comes on. from there (my estimate only), you probably have about 50-60km's to find a gas station from there. lol.
no
