2015 Star V Star 1300 Deluxe Motorcycle Review

This mid sized cruiser from Yamaha under the star brand might be the oldest platform they are currently selling. It feels dated, with just a couple seemingly modern touches added but they don't blend very well. Power wise it's hard to justify the performance to the cost especially since there's little else to the bike other than the basics.

Not really an accurate review. Yamaha makes awesome cruisers and most reliable at great price

@Constantstate 3 месяца назад

Ya, lots of misinformation and poor understanding of the market segment. Also, he compares the 80 CID engine's power and says " not comparable to a Harley 110" ... well duh! And it has no cruise, that's a volume control. It's a great bike for 60% of the money of an HD.

@andyhenderson7371 3 года назад

I've had my 1300 Vstar for 5 years and love it. Had many other bikes but this one is the best by far

@AnthonysWestTexasRides 8 лет назад

I believe the cruise control you refer to is actually the controls for the audio system when you have it connected to your phone or mp3 player.

@robertreno4744 5 лет назад

correct; no stock cruise control. Those are audio controls if you hook your iPhone up to the audio system

@pastorivanyoder 4 года назад

I have Yamaha 1300 and this guy is not fair in my opinion, he hit some fair points but all in all seems more like a review by a competitor to prove inferiority.

@swskitso 3 года назад

100% Fool has no clue what he is talking about, as shown by thinking nav controls are cruise control and has no idea what gear to be in without a tac. Cant even make turns, i would guess he rides sportster.

@philber57 11 месяцев назад

Keep your Harley..overpriced and expensive upkeep,

@Bikergramp57 5 лет назад

A couple of points. This is NOT Yamaha's answer to Harley's big tourers. That would be the Star Venture. This is meant to be a mid-size tourer. Also, their power band is much wider than you were using so it seemed to lack power. It would smoke a Sportster 1200. I do appreciate your straight-forward take on the bike though.

@twardsmith 8 лет назад

The 1300 is designed to rev. It's a short stroke motor. If you short shift it will vibrate and lag. If you Rev it out it really moves for the type of bike it is. When I had mine I never changed into 5th until at least 80km/h (50mp/h). It just isn't designed to be a low revving torque motor like a Harley.

@blairsville9151 3 года назад

Exactly.

@charlier8445 4 года назад

I owned a 2008 v star 1300. I loved it and I miss it. Rides great, hauls ass, and had great lean angle. Rode the hell out of the Twisted Sisters here in the Texas hill country. This guy has no clue what he’s doing🤣

@Pomp132 4 года назад

I’ve had a 2007 for a few years now and I love it. Looking at upgrading to a 2015 for the fairing and hard bags. This guys review is scaring me a lil bit but he sounds wildly biased tbh.

@christopherhuggins3212 3 года назад

I just got a 08 v star 1300 tourer traded a bike I bought for 2k for it and I've ridden many of Harley's best bikes and it's a much much cheaper road king in my opinion

@swskitso 3 года назад

This guy reminds me of other youtubers who have dabbled in a subject but try to present themselves as experts.

@GATORSWORLD221 8 лет назад

I purchased this model and I am very happy the transmission is geared high I can ride around town all day in 4th gear with plenty of go power acceleration is good. one thing that the guys said that I have to agree with is no engine breaking but that goes along with high gear ratio on a scale of 1-10 I would give this bike an 8

@philmcclain8154 7 лет назад

Just bought 2014 vstar 1300 touring new got a great deal. It didn't take long to realize this bike seems to be high geared. I understand where some of your comments are coming from about the power just have to rev out it a little more. Getting used to different shift points.Fith gear for 70 plus mph only it is smooth as silk at 85-90, purrs like a kitten. To sum it up the bike has great power , just needs more revs than most v-twins. Handles very easy I had a much lighter bike no problems making adjustment.

@jackieharris2854 4 года назад

You talk like a Harley Rider, this is a sad review!

@et8054 6 лет назад

Not a fair review. Most likely HD commercial. Bike is awesome and performs excellent.

@sugarnads 8 лет назад

Rode a hd 1200 sportster custom, indian scout, xvs1300. Yama shits all over the others. Waaaay cheaper, faster, smoother, better ride and handling, insanely better brakes. Makes my honda vt feel crude.

@lawrencedavidson296 5 месяцев назад

No it doesn't I have had a 2013 1200 sportster custom and the v star 1300 I own both now and my sportster has a full stage 1 and walks away with ease from Mr 2016 v star 1300

@janstrom3482 2 года назад

What? 5th gear at 45mph... that's just about 70km/h, 5th is to be considered an overdrive, maybe you can consider using it to maintaining speed at 80 km/h. I love the gear ratio on this bike. This guy must have been paid to hate on this bike?

@mviens 2 года назад

I have never heard anyone complain this much about riding any motorcycle. Perhaps you would be happier trying a different hobby.

@RCshowmen 8 лет назад

The V star isn't Yamaha's Harley competition; the Royal Star is.

@raymondblanco9219 8 лет назад

Angel the V star 1300 is an awesome bike, I have rode a lot of different bikes from can ams to new Honda's and many other brands I even considered a couple of Harley's before i chose my first ever Yamaha I;ve always been partial to gold wings but for the money and cost of maintenance I chose the Yamaha v star over everything else I tried. It really comes down to what you want from a bike personally I like cruiser others love sports bikes for speed, I'd rather have comfort and speed which I get easily from my Vstar 1300 at 712 lbs even though the seats on Gold wings are a lot more comfortable the weight they have is something to consider one major problem I personally have with the gold wings are that they have very limited foot room I wear size 13 boots and sometimes I can't even find the foot brake on the gold wing. So you should really go to every dealership in your area and test drive all the bikes you think you would like then make a decision for me it just took one test drive of the V Star 1300 deluxe to know I loved the feel, comfort and power it provides and sure there are much faster bikes and if it weren't for the $6,000 difference I might have bought the Stratoliner with 113ci engine that's 1854cc's but everybody has different likes when it comes to what you ride so go try all that you can then decide and good luck.;

@jasons5704 6 лет назад

I currently own a Harley Davidson sportster. I want a decent touring bike but I’m not spending Harley dollars on it. This bike is really nice and I love the 2015 red color.

@garyraney7760 Год назад

Well if you like Goldwings so well.Why didn't you go with the Honda Valkyrie ? It is a way much better bike than the VStar 1300

@jasons5704 6 лет назад

It’s the deluxe version of the vstar 1300. That’s why it’s called deluxe, thought that was pretty obvious...

@joeljames2307 6 лет назад

Dang, it's got chrome rings around the speakers. I'm not buying it now! Geeeez

@Deeno282 5 лет назад

How much blinker fluid does it take on a yearly basis

@jayzee1014 2 года назад

Does he not understand gear ratios? Heavy lag at 45mph means the gearing is way too tall for that speed. This was painful to watch. The 1300 loves to rev.

@rickycampbell9105 2 года назад

This guy sounds like he wanted to hate this bike before he ever got on it.

@steveanders4961 2 года назад

I think the only bike I've seen him like is his fjr1300 and everything is compared to that .I've owned a 1300 v star for12 years if you know how to ride it hauls ass for a cruiser to compare it to a 1200 which I've also owned a sportster is hilarious the sporty is running hard at 70 in top gear my yamaha you don't even shift to 5th gear till about60 or even 70 mph

@leebanner1309 Год назад

Same here, owned it for 7 years. It's a bit of a learning curve gear wise, as it prefers higher revs, rather than short changing and lugging it. Loads of power if you know what your doing.

@truemegahertz6929 2 года назад

I have the 2015, it loves to rev. 3 gear 30 to 70 for back roads and city. 4 and 5 for highway riding

@MichaelShmidt 3 года назад

HD charges more for special colors as well. My Blue Pearl was a $200 option for my 2008 Sportster. I'm looking for a Yamaha to replace it, just not sure which one.

@jDot2414 3 года назад

How do you like the 1300?? Thinking of getting one , I’m 5’7 do you think it would be uncomfortable for me to ride cause my height ? Right now I have a Harley sportster and a can am spyder which I’m selling

@MountainGuerrilla 8 лет назад

not a cruise control, and it's cable throttle, hence the cable coming out the back of the throttle tube, nothing deluxe except built in GPS, XM satellite radio and ipod connection.

@philber57 11 месяцев назад

I’ve driven a Harley classic for 10yrs and gave it up for my 07 v star. I got tired of the oil leaking, vibrating wash machine they call Harleys. 100 dollar oil changes along with multiple issues.

@randallcurtis1 3 года назад

How is it dulex with no highway bar or highway pegs and no trunk. And stock pipes thats not a dulex and stock air filter

@MichaelShmidt 3 года назад

It sounds like you are lugging it in top gear and if you are only doing 45 you might be. I would be on my Sportster.

@mz8560056 8 лет назад

i never compare my bike to harley....

@RetiredTony 7 лет назад

@scottwhite2583 8 лет назад

Most of us who own this bike use the Garmin to give us our speed, it's exactly what you're saying just a glance and you've got your speed. Yeah it would be nice to have a tach but can't have everything.

@Blakelysworld358 8 лет назад

I thought the Stratoliner was their big deluxe touring bike?

@Nickel8237 8 лет назад

+Ned Miller It was, but I believe they discontinued it. The newest you will find on their website is n.o.s. 2014's. I had a 2006 Stratoliner. I loved the way it handled and the torque. But it had so many issues, I got rid of it in 2009. Maybe they were all problematic and that is why they dropped the line...

@earlbundy7783 6 лет назад

I have watched your vids,..and any cruiser you ride,..you instantly have many negative reviews,..what cruiser would you suggest?

@TwoWheelObsession 6 лет назад

Not true at all - I point out the good and bad about every bike I review. Lots of great choices out there, it all depends on what you like and most importantly your budget. Quality wise Indian and Harley both have some great models on the high side. The basic models, much less so. For a basic ride with great power and quality look to the M109 and Raider/Stryker series.

@earlbundy7783 6 лет назад

ok, so what cruiser do you ride?

@Sig721Tau 7 лет назад

You don't need a Tachometer on cruisers. There's a reason why crotch rockets (sport bikes) have them and not the average standard bike (cruisers). Also, you might want to slow down when driving over speed bumps. Smh..

@h.wayneb3495 Год назад

rough review with needed learning curve for most that are interested in bike or how it is designed to be ridden properly. Thanks

@richardotten679 6 лет назад

I own a v-star 1300 2015 model and I would have to agree with a lot of your comments about this bike. For me the biggest disappointment is the engine and how they have geared it. It’s low rev torque is very poor and is the revs climb it becomes very rough. There is torque in the medium to high revs but it becomes so rough that you feel like you are damaging the engine. There is a sweet spot between low and high revs which is very smooth but the range of this sweet spot in my opinion is way too short as it forces you to drive it like a big engined low reving car. A lot of people have said to me that this is typical of the cruiser but I wonder why a cruiser has to have such a limitation . It is certainly much more pleasant to ride on country roads and a very comfortable riding position and seat but in the city the gearing is very tall and for many tighter corners you have to change to first gear so as not to scrape the floor boards. The 2nd gear sweet spot is 28 to 45 miles per hour. In my opinion that rev range is not good enough for any decent motorcycle.

@rash0401 8 лет назад

Excellent honest review ! Bummed to hear some of the results but appreciate the honesty . Would be curious how it handles on a hwy/freeway speed test for maybe 10-15 miles (comfort , wind, that 5th gear...etc) but again great review !

Great review. I'm bouncing between the Suzuki Boulevard C90T and the V Star. I think I'm more excited to test out the C90T after this review. Keep up the great reviews!

@rhowell52 8 лет назад

+Stephen Vilotti Take the C90T. I have the RoadStar Midnight Silverado (1700), my brother has the C90T and I recommend it over the VStar. The Suzuki has a small gas tank but other than that ok. Yamaha is really dropping the ball. This 1300 sucks. Bring back the Venture. Where's the Roadliner or Roadstar. Only big bike now is the Raider.

@danmeredith6354 8 лет назад

+Rubble Rouser I suggest you test out the Yamaha 1700cc Roadstar...Its a lot more bike than the 1300! The Siverado package is up to par with most Harleys.

@rhowell52 8 лет назад

+Dan Meredith I have the 2006 Roadstar Midnight Silverado now. As well as a Harley. I'd take the Yamaha over the C90T for the reasons I mentioned.

@rhowell52 8 лет назад

+Dan Meredith and the Roadstar is NOT at par with any Harleys as they stopped producing that line. As well as the Roadliner and the 1100 Vstar. IMHO.

@danmeredith6354 8 лет назад

+Rubble Rouser >>Just because theyre no longer made doesn't make them any less on par with most Harleys My 2006 1700 will do what any Harley will do....Ive seen them do 150,000 without a rebuild!

@madderall_dot_com 5 лет назад

Thanks for the great review. Saved me from getting a pig with bunch of lipstick on it. It's just your basic yamaha cruiser with a bat wing and a gps unit and it want's you to think it plays in the same league with all the big baggers. Doesn't even have a fuel gauge or ABS. Doesn't cost as much a Harley either, but it also cost a lot more than a similar sized metric cruiser without the gps.

@jamesbronson3347 5 лет назад

Wow, my local dealer has 2014 model with only 1500 miles, was thinking about buying it, but not now, glad I saw this review first. That speedo is in a bad place, should be where the GPS sits. Read online reviews saying the power was great, doesn't seem that great. Guess I'll keep my 1998 Honda Shadow Ace 1100 Tourer.

@ObscureJester 5 лет назад

Power is great, you just need to use the correct gear. In this video, 90% of the time he is riding one gear above the correct one and/or asking for revving when the engine lagged already.
