Yamaha's profilation of this bike
Light weight and a seat just 27 inches from the pavement make the V Star 250 a great trainer as well as a great choice for riders who appreciate the fun that comes in small packages. Dual exhausts, plenty of quality chrome and typical Star attention to detail; this is one sharp little cruiser.
