New bike

We bought a bike for my wife Lori to start riding on her own. I hope she will catch the bug and go for it. Time will tell.

 

 

2002 V-Star 650

I'm sure she will love it. I enjoyed mine for seven years. A nice around town bike.

Nice Kevin. Great starter bike. My wife had an 08 V-Star 650 "Canadian Edition" and loved it. Added 1" risers and it absolutely fit her like a glove. Doug

Great choice, Kevin!

 

Suggest the riders safety course as well. Builds confidence as well as teaches safety and riding techniques...

 

Loved my 650 classic.

 

Safe riding!

Lori has completed a "skills" level training at our local safety council once but that permit expired so she is booked in to do it again in a couple weeks. I have done their "Experienced Rider Course" twice, once on my first gen then again on the second gen. Recommend everyone do training like that. I would not send Lori on the road with out it.

I liked looks of those when I was looking to get back on 2 wheels in 07. After talking to a fellow that actually had one for sale and telling him what I had planned he talked me out of it. 2 up touring was not its strong suit, same reason he was selling and moving up. but he did say one up even with gear was a decent road bike. Heck most of us rememeber when a 650 was a big bike. Other than HD when I was a kid Triumph/BSA and them only had like a 650 or 750.
