If you are looking for a perfect size cruiser for daily riding or easy weekend rides then this is the perfect bike. Novice or long time riders will find this bike easy to handle and fun to ride with plenty of power to spare. | ||||||
| I have never been a fan of the copycat cruisers but since my last bike was an 82 Virago 920 I thought I would give the V Star a look. The Silverado looks sharp and runs great. Did I say great? It´s fantastic. On the hiway at 65 or in city traffic this is one sweet handling cruiser. I ride with Harleys and big bore cruisers and keep up with no problems. Many reviewers talk about the vibration at 55-60 but I don´t notice it. The fact that the engine is designed to rev higher also scares some writers but it´s not even near red line at 75 mph. The clutch is smooth and the brakes will stop you a lot faster than you expect. I am at 5000 mi and have no desire to trade up. With all the extras this bike is a great bang for the buck in this writers opinion. |
