The V Star Custom is the lightest of the full-size cruisers, sporting a 649cc V-Twin engine and retaining all the awesome handling and great performance of the bigger bikes. Suitable for the new riders looking to get acquainted to what a Star cruiser feels like, the 2013 V Star Custom is nothing short of a great machine.
With the same old-school hardtail look, the 2013 V Star Custom comes with an adjustable rear shock while the massive fork with a 19” wheel evokes the classic chopper styling. The Mikuni carburetors sport a progressive pulley which change the linear acceleration to a more thrilling one, while the engine delivers the max torque already ay 3000 rpm for confident slow turns and easy getting ahead of cars in the city.

Wide-ratio 5-speed gearbox and a quiet, low-maintenance shaft final drive make sure the 2013 V Star Custom fits a lot of riding styles, cross-town and highway alike. Sporting the same paint quality as the bigger Star cruisers, this machine also uses chrome extensively for that traditional look chopper users love. Available for prices starting at $6,990 (€5,380).
