I bought an '18 Star 250 2 years ago in Raven Black metallic. Customized it a bit. The 60deg V-Twin is torquey but really needs better sprockets. That would leave a bit more room between gears. Even the stock tires handle very well when having a TT Moment. It does sound rather like a Japanese sport bike though. One of the older ones. On the other hand, it's the same size and over-all style as the Sportster of the mid-80's. At 68, with both hips replaced, I can ride it like I was a teen again! But that low-speed stop-n-go stuff is hard, what with sciatica in my L2. Besides being an aging road racer...low-speed stop-n-go is just not in my nature. But I will conquer it!
Did they fix the rough clutch? Did they fix the buzzy vibration at high rev? Do they make an after market safe two person seat? Then it is a good 25 mph and 35 mph city metro player.
0:47 Not designed for blistering speed? So it's NOT the "best motorcycle in the world", then, is it? Because there are HUNDREDS of models much faster than it!

Just bought one for 'round town scooting. My '09 EFI BONNIE is jealous!

You lost me on the fake AI voice.
It was a real AI voice, reading the sales brochure. Waste of time.

Speed isn't the point with cruisers! This is not a crotch rocket. But i can lean it way over in the turns. Speed is nothing without control. IE, you.
This is a horrible AI voiced review. Try real people, that know something about motorcycles.
