Yamaha V star 250 for sale Episode 3 

I've got a 2014 VStar 250. I bought it in 2017 with less than 20 miles on it. It's been dependable and fun to ride. I've owned larger, faster bikes but as I've gotten older I just don't need a big bike. I've ridden this bike all over the Southeast U.S. and it's done everything I asked of it. I'm convinced it's the man that makes the bike, not the other way around. I love this bike. Thomas Quick aka old skool and I'm just saying. p.s. 65 m.p.h. is perfect for this bike. I can load it down for camping and take off. It's light if you want to pull up a fire trail for the night. Try that on most cruisers and you really have to work at it. I paid $2,500 cash and that's the best money I ever spent. If you have self image issues you might should go with a Harley but if you just want to ride economically and dependably, try the Yamaha V Star 250. It won't let you down.

83 is fast enough on anything figure n the reliability and efficiency at 78-83 mpg and this is a great motorcycle.Thinking about getting one as it's so light I could ride it without messing myself up.

The bike's most quirky feature is the fake header pipe. Its a good way to win a free beer though by betting a friend you can hold onto your header pipe longer then they can after starting the bike :)

That is the best 45 mile-an-hour 250 I've seen for a cruiser lol

“Going whatever the speed limit is” LMAO! Great review

Lol i just got a 2009 yamaha v star 250 last year and took the motorcycle rider course offered by my city. I agree i love this bike its very good for a starter bike im having a blast riding it. Too bad you guys aren't around here in Springfield Ohio i would of liked to come check your bikes out, i think my next bike in a few years will be a yamaha roadstar, at least a 900 or above. Great videos like watching you test ride the bikes, don't stop reading a bible verse before you ride either, im a Christian and i love that you read one before you ride.

"Maybe 46" hahahaha. Great video, I'm getting this bike this weekend as my first bike!

After 38 years of racing/riding,I am getting one of these to ride and have fun with.Ride Safe Bro's.

A bike like that is really great if you live in a bigger congested city like Chicago or NYC. That tiny bit smaller profile and added agility make a big difference when you are looking for parking and trying to avoid the litany of idiots darting out into the street.

Love this video man, super candid take for a beginner coming from scooters. thanks!

Had the choke on

I have a 2013 Vstar 250. I've never had mine up to 46, but it's good to know that I could if I needed to.

"Actual speed is 45mph or whatever the speed limit is" hahaha. I stumbled across these videos somehow without realizing you guys are only a few minutes away from me. Will keep checking back for a black V Star 650.

"w0w 45 mph amaizing " :3 :3 :D

250cc is really all you need man. i'm prolly gunna pick one of these up here soon.

Those 250ties are no joke. They are fun. Depending what you use it for, it could be plenty of what you need. Commuting to the campus or work, visiting friends out there in the suburbans, and checking out that girl in the countryside is a easy task. Some actually don't need 1800cc to park it on a traffic light in the inner city, and/or heavy lifting big 4-6 cylinders bikes in apartment access-ways and parking underneath staircases. Just saying.

haha great video man. I thought it was hilarious. I'm thinking about getting a v star 250. Very informative.

Hey man, i'm saving for a Yamaha Vstar 250, it's gonna go for around 6 grand. Where I am, I can legally get a motorcycle and motorcycle license at fourteen, which is how old I am, but I'll have to get a job for it. I remember my dad having a Suzuki Intruder VS750, it was a beauty, but got replaced with the boulevard. My dream bike is probably an Indian Scout Sixty, or a Harley softtail. I want to get in the world of bikes, and I feel the Vstar 250 is the one. Thanks for showing me this video.

I have a 2007 heritage softail classic and a 1997 virago 250 and I enjoy the 250 just as much sure takes me longer to get to speed but it's a realy fun bike to ride.

Wow, just a kid u were. My first , at 16, in 73, was an almost new, rd 350 Yammie 2 stroke. 110 mph is all it would do.

Will only do 65mph absolutely wide open (with no headwind and on a level surface). You will be in the upper 50s with an incline or headwind. I rode mine for 2 seasons, over 5K miles, many 200+ mile trips on the highway. Can be very dangerous when traffic is moving at 65 and your only way out of a situation is to hit your brakes. Loved the bike for cruising around my rural area. Great on back roads where the speed limit is 45-50. For reference, I am 5'10", 170 lbs.

I need to go over 85 MPH when I'm going back to the future!

I have a 2014 V-Star 250. It had better be more than just a beginner bike, because I'll never be able to afford anything else. 😂

i have my motorcycle class in a few weeks, i also have someone whos selling an 04 v star 250 for $2-2500. im fucking pumped.

I just got one like 4 months ago and I love it 🤷🏽‍♂️

Those go about 80mph with me on it I weigh 290, I'm not fat I just have a sweet hockey body...

My first motorcycle! A blast to ride.

It is a great city bike but it is light for the freeway. I can pick one up so a really strong wind on the freeway could knock you over.

Im 5,8 and i got one for my first bike and i love it

I have a VStar and I love it!! i have one question, is it safe for the bike to ride with the choke still engaged or pulled to the left? I heard it's bad for the spark plugs. i am just wondering

Hey Sean ( sorry if I misspelled your name) Love the channel man. I'm a new rider and I've been checking your channel for tips, information and knowledge on the regular. Live in Toronto, Canada. So for my first bike I've decided to go with a 2003 Yamaha virago 250. The asking price is $2000 but I talked the guy down to $1500. 25000km on it. He's also willing to deliver it to my door. He bought it of an older fella at the beginning of May 2018. Never been dropped. It looks clean . Regular maintenance he says. The dude seems honest enough but you never know. For $1500 how much should I be nitpicking? What should I look for? Any advice would be appreciated man. Keep up the good work NJ

Choke all the time? No bro

They get about 80 mpg too

xD you gotta bro-love this dude xD the 45 mph on this bike are amazing :D

That tail light is absolutely atrocious.. other than that the bike looks awesome.

so you CAN do 80mph just fine. you think the bike handle this speed for for than 30 mins at a time even with sprocket change?

just love it. I hope that next year I will get my motorcycle license in addition to the car license and be able to drive such a beauty.

This is hands down the most PERFECT around town look cool bike ever made. It's a YAMAHA VStar for God's sake ! Of course the Rebel is a contender, and / but not sure...

I just bought a 2022 v star 250 I love it.

Hey the algorithm just recommended me this. Is the bike still available? 😂

78 to 80 mpg

Great little dependable very reliable Japanese cruiser with super gas mileage

Good video. This works for my 10 minute commute. Looks more handsome than tu250x imo. One of those cheap csc bikes might work too.

Subtitles on this video made me laugh, you are awesome! I ride a Ninja zx6r, but am gonna pick up this little bike just for around town fun cruising when I'm lazy.

Great. I enjoyed it a lot. Looking for the rest!

These are great bikes!

How do you like the brakes on this? Why they still do drum brakes in rear.

How can you upgrade a yamaha vstar 250. I have one but I feel Luke I can't go on the rudes with my friends on a long haul.

I have a 2017 v star and I love it

Should see how great it runs with the choke off

IIRC people swap sprockets on the V star for a better 1-2 shift and lower rpms on the highway.

im the same height (6'2), think there's still room for another rider? (tryna pick up some girls)

I'm 6'4 , do you think I will fit well in this bike?

hey Sean. I'm looking for my first bike and I'm between the v star 250 and 650. I'm 5'10 and 165. in both of your reviews of those bikes you say they're good starters but which would you recommend? is there a significant benefit to one over the other (I.e. cost, practicality, longevity)?

So which 250 has stronger acceleration, this Vstar 250 or the Honda Rebel 250? I was hoping you'd comment on the seat of the pants feel of power compared. Thanks!

I am confused with the subtitle. Is he trolling or did he actually hit 85+mph?

Why dont they make a V star 400 ? 500 ?

Great video 😎

Sounds like a lawnmower :O

Hi, Great video on the v-star and the rebel. I am a beginner, researching motorcycles, looks like either one of these would work. But, I couldnt find the comparison video you mention. Which one is better - what are the pros and cons of these two and is the gear shift too far up in the front for the v-star when compared to the Rebel. Which one is more comfortable from a riding position? And can it be taken on the interstate with 2 riders (around 300 lbs total?

Does doing a high speed run with the choke on affect its max speed potential at all? You had the choke on. Can you try it with the choke off?

I had one that would do 90 I regeard it and tucked in on flat ground and I weighe 300lbs I also rejetted it ad put pipes on

Who makes those mirror extensions?

well...my lightly used '14 v star 250 (bought with 23 miles) in late '17 is more comfortable to me than the previous version of the honda rebel 250 yet I feel the stock 'gearing' (sprocket teeth combo) is not conducive to being pushed over 60-65 mph (rpm's high = too damn buzzy);

not stock bars on the star....?

Any reviews on the older 535?

I will honestly buy a bike off you if you can show you can bench what that bike weighs one rep

I think it is more 45.1 Mph xD

This is painful to watch turn the choke off please!!!

Hello from argentina ,i dont speak verte well, . Topspeed AND cruiser speed Is ??

how good is this for driving cross country like 3000 mile or more with out braking down on the road ??? thinking of buying one to go from Alaska to lower 48 m ??

did you ever do a vid on the suzuki s40 boulevard? thx! good vid here, too! :D

I love mine❤

I've got a vstar 250 & mine only gets up to 65 & that's w a 42t rear sprocket & 17t front mod.. I'm gonna try a new carb..

Mailage?

Just bought one==2012

OK seems like you know a lot about motorcycles . I wanted to buy v star 250 as my first bike but I noticed that brake pedal and gear pedal they are extremely high , is there any way to lower them just to be in straight line with foot pegs??? like you know foot pegs are on 9 o'clock and i want brake and gear pedal to be at 3 o'clock not at 1 like they are in stock bike .It's so freaking unnatural .

Wait I thought the 250 topped out at like 65? Everyone else’s videos show that. How did yours go so fast?

would you be able to take this comfortably on the highway?

I'm a 5ft tall female and looking for a bike. I've been looking into the V star 250, but don't know if its small enough for me. Do you think its good fo a 5ft tall person?

Nice

the "kinda fun" comment didnt sound so fun. lol

I'm searching for ine of these now. Love the blue. But none in Ohio . but 1 in WI. A bit far to go. But it's cherry. Now if tax and investment would hurry up...

That v-star tailight...looks like it has a big red wart hanging off it's ass.

Max speed? I need to get at least 140km/h

I like a deeper more throaty sound to my bike.

How is the legroom for a 6' male? Would it be comfortable for a hundred plus miles for someone 6 ' or taller?

Lol, great video

its got 249 cc

I dont need a biger bike i love mine its my baby

All i hear is lip smacking. lol

parallel twin. Not inline twin.

Thats the exact bike I just got and I could only get it up to 75

I am looking for something like a 250 cc bike to trade down to. I have a medical condition and need a lighter bike. I have a1982 Suzuki GS650G nd a 650L parts bike. I also have a beautiful 1987 Honda Goldwing Aspencade for sale that I have never ridden. Due to my condition, they all have to go. I live in Canandiagua, NY. Do you know anyone who might be interested?

1000 miles in a year? Dang. I’ve done 1400 in like 2 1/2 weeks

Wow 45 mph amazing lol

It sounds like a lawn mower a lot more than a parallel hahaha

Choke

75 mpg

i have one and the maximum speed id 140 km/hour
