lewis, you steered me right.got my new v-star 1300.what a nice bike.just what i was looking for.so far the only complaints are.drivetrain noise,drivetrain noise, and did i say drive train noise.of course i'm hardened do to the legendary chirp so i can handle it.highly reccomend this scoot if you can't handle the weight anymore and are true to yammers like me.although a kawasaki accidently turned up in my workshop.felt sorry for it just sitting in a crate.lol let the chroming begin.

Bill, I have almost 1000 miles on mine now and I have noticed that the noise is lessening or Im just getting used to it.....of course we dont have radios blasting in our ears to drown out all the outside noise, I really notice the wind noise on this bike a lot more than I did on my 1st gen. But it doesnt take away from the ride, Im glad you like it.

 

Jamie aka Wingman traded bikes for a short while today and he was totally blown away by the power and smoothness of the ride, he said it reminded him what riding a basic motorcycle was all about, and I had forgotten how big his Wing is..............
