2007 Yamaha V-Star Custom MSRP $5799 649 cc
Answers:
I have a 2006 hayabusa 1300. i was wondering what are your thoughts on turboing it?
the 883 can be a vicious speedster to those that seriously mod them out, they hold they're value pretty good. the 07's dont have any carb's. every bike hd makes is now fuel injection. injected bikes warm up quicker than the carbs, but to set the mix, that has to be done on a computer.it would be a good idea to actually sit on both bikes, and if possible, test ride both. if u have the endorsement, u'd be able to test ride, but i can guarentee u that if u dont have 1, no joy on test rides.
How safe is a motorbike to ride once the steering lock has been smashed in?
883's are a lightweight. the 1200 would give u more power and a bit smoother ride. it used to be u could convert a 883 to a 1200 with little difficulty, but since they've changed out the motor to rubber mount, those days are history. 3.3 gallon tanks hurt range a bit, but the v-star also has 2 carbs. holds more gas, but the twin carbs is gonna hurt gas mileage. u'd have a better bike getting the 1200. they ride well as long as u put on a sundowner seat. junk that stock seat before u even pick it up, or u'll go numb within 75-80 miles..well before the 150 mile cut-off to hit reserve and btw.there is NO reserve on the fuel injected bikes. when ur out, u'll be pushin.

I'm a Harley owner...go with the Yamaha...the 883 is Harley's worst bike!A new rider, looking to purchase a nice bike for under 3000 in?
If the Sportster has the stretched tank, I'd get the Sportster. If the Sportster has the peanut tank, I'd go with the V-Star. V-Stars are nice bikes with a huge aftermarket part inventory available so you can dress them up nice. Insurance will be less on the V-Star as well. I'm just not a fan of the high-centered Sportsters, especially with those skinny tanks.Is there a biker gang called the Mountain Men in New Hampshire or anywhere else?
The Harley may be a more known bike to the everyday person, but Yamaha is definitely a better looking bike and it's way more comfortable. i have had a Yamaha vstar for two years now, and i have taken it everywhere and people notice it. Yamaha is the better bargain.Thinking of getting a ducati monster 620i?
the Harley is a better value, but I'd go for a used 2004 HD 1200Would a Kawasaki Ninja zx-6r be too powerful for a first bike?
The Harley has better resale value bu the Yamaha will give you less problems.Which japanese motorbike celebrated 10th anniversary in 2006?
You will get bored with both bikes quickly. Good luck actually getting the 883 Sporty for the price you listed. The 883's are only good for short trips and around town. Very narrow frame, small gas tank and uncomfortable.If you only have the two to go with get the VStar.at least the accessories will be cheaper.

Go Honda or Kawi the are the bestBest Kept Freeways in the USA?
A lot would depend on what type of riding you are going to be doing. Both are great for short highway trips or around town. If you plan on taking longer trips go with a bigger bike. While I don't know a lot about the newer Harley's' I know a bit about the Yamaha's'. If longer trips look at the 1100 either classic or custom or the new 1300. All are nice bikes and very dependable. I know the newer Harley's' are a lot more dependable than they used to be but quoting Sonny Barger if you beef up a Harley it is not a matter of if it will go south but when.Motorcycle dies when throttle is applied?
