I recently had the opportunity to test ride the Yamaha V-Star XVS650 Custom, which offers a traditional cruiser option in the LAMS segment, as an alternative to Harley-Davidson’s Street 500.
The XVS650 stands out because it’s been around for a lengthy period, and offers an exceptional beginner cruiser, with a more custom style than the standard XVS650, meaning a bit more trimmed back and sporty.
While featuring old technology in the form of carburetors and a choke, something young riders may be unfamiliar with, the V-Star XVS650 Custom is an option that’s been delivering for years, and continues to impress.
