Yamaha V-star 250

The Yamaha V-star 250 has a top speed of 120 km/h, produces 21 hp and weighs 145 kg. Motoryk rates it 6.5/10.

ヤマハ V-Star 250(以前の市場ではビラゴ250と呼ばれていました)のルーツは、1988年に発売されたXV250にまでさかのぼり、生産されているエントリーレベルの巡洋艦の中で最も長く生産されているエントリーレベルのクルーザーの1つとなっています。このクルーザーは、大型のVツインモーターサイクルを模したスタイルで、初心者にも使いやすいクルーザーとして設計されました。249ccのVツインエンジンを搭載し、小さな排気量で本物のクルーザーらしさを発揮しました。その長寿命と手頃な価格により、ファーストモーターサイクルとして人気があり、世界中の初心者向けライダーコースの定番となっています。

購入者が知っておくべきこと

🔧

Bulletproof Starter Reliability

The V-Star 250 is widely regarded as one of the most reliable beginner bikes ever made, with many owners reporting 20,000+ miles with minimal maintenance beyond basic oil changes and chain adjustments.

⚠️

Watch the Carburetor

The most common issue is a gummed-up carburetor from sitting unused — always inspect for rough idling or hard starting, as ethanol-blended fuel causes buildup quickly if the bike is stored without fuel stabilizer.

💰

Strong Resale Value

Due to high demand from new riders and a discontinued production status (last made in 2017), used V-Star 250s hold their value unusually well and often sell close to their original purchase price in good condition.

"あなたが買うことができる最も正直な初心者用バイク。"

V-Star 250に乗って18ヶ月間毎日通勤していたが、どのコースよりもスロットルコントロールとコーナリングラインについて多くのことを教えてくれた。その主な理由は、怠け者を殺すことなく罰を与えるからだ。Vツインバーブルは249ccにしては満足のいくもので、シート高690mmということは、背の低いライダーでも自信を持って地面に触れることができるということだ。バラバラになるところは時速90km以上です。モーターが叫び、鏡が振動して役に立たなくなり、高速道路の合流は祈りのように感じられます。本物のクルーザーではありませんが、新しいライダーが学習中にクールな気分になれるように、コスチュームを十分に身に着けています。

プロ

+寛容で予測可能な取り扱い
+シートの高さが本当に低い
+満足のいくVツインキャラクター
+非常に信頼性が高く、メンテナンスが安価です
+中古品が見つけやすく、再販リスクが低い

短所

高速道路の速度は本当に危険に感じます
ミラーは時速80 km以上では役に立たない
燃料計なし、小型タンク
1シーズン以内に成長しなくなった

Brand new riders wanting urban commuter cruiser

"A solid learner bike you'll definitely want to sell within a year."

$2,500-$3,800 used

Look, the V-Star 250 is exactly what it looks like — a beginner bike wearing cruiser clothes. And honestly? That's fine. It's genuinely pretty, pulls off the classic bobber aesthetic surprisingly well for the money, and won't terrify a new rider into a ditch. The 249cc air-cooled single is smooth enough at city speeds, and used examples are everywhere in the $2,500-$3,500 range. Parts availability is decent, maintenance is dead simple, and insurance costs almost nothing. But let's be real about the limitations. Highway riding is a white-knuckle prayer — 70mph has that motor screaming and vibrating like it owes you money. Two-up riding is essentially a joke. And experienced riders will outgrow it embarrassingly fast, probably within six months. Check the carb carefully on older examples; they gum up fast if the bike sat. Also inspect the fork seals — these bikes get dropped by beginners constantly.
