Retro style combined with modern engineering, including an OHC air-cooled V-twin and shaft drive. Rider floorboards, steel fenders, custom-looking clear turn signals, lots of chrome, etc. — the V Star Classic represents tremendous cruiser bang for the buck. Rigid-look frame provides a great ride via a hidden rear shock with 3.9 inches of travel.
