The Yamaha V-Star 650 Custom features lots of chrome, luminous paint, a bobtail rear fender, and the convenience of a clean, quiet shaft drive. Do not be surprised if your friends think it's a one-of-a-kind custom machine.

The lightest V-Star is built to perform

Plenty of attitude in a surprisingly lean and low package - priced to leave more for you to express yourself with cool Custom Star Accessories. Now there's no reason to settle for less than a real Star.

From the day it hit the street, the V-Star 650 Custom has been a huge hit.

We started with an authentic V-twin powerplant and a lean, low-slung chassis, and then tricked it out with lots of chrome, luminous paint, and a bobtail rear fender. And thanks to its chopper profile, shaft drive, and low seat height, the end result is no ordinary custom. The V-Star 650 Custom is so stylish and unique, people will swear you must have customized it yourself. Don't worry - we won't tell a soul.
