A reasonably priced big cruiser.
The venerable V-Star 1100 series is one of the bargains in the 1000cc-plus cruiser offerings. Using an engine that is not much changed from the old Virago 1100, the V-Star line consists of three models. Just $7899 will put you in the saddle of the Custom model, with its minimalist front fender and bobbed rear fender setting it apart from the valanced-fendered Classic versions. New for 2003 are optional cast aluminum wheels that bump up the spoked-wheel-equipped $8199 price by 300 bucks.
But it's the range-topping Silverado version of the V-Stars we opted to test. At $9399, the non-Chevy Silverado is fitted out for light touring, cruiser style, with a bolt-on windscreen and studded leather saddlebags. A king/queen "touring seat" has matching stud work, and it includes a small backrest for the passenger. |
