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.

雅马哈 V-Star 250(在早期市场上被称为 Virago 250)的历史可以追溯到 1988 年推出的 XV250,使其成为量产中运行时间最长的入门级巡洋舰之一。它被设计为一款易于上手、适合初学者的巡洋舰,采用了大型V型双缸摩托车的风格,配备了249cc的V型双缸发动机,在小排量下赋予了它真正的巡洋舰特征。它的使用寿命长,价格实惠,使其成为广受欢迎的第一辆摩托车,也是全球初学者骑手课程的必备单品。

买家应该知道什么

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.

"你可以买到的最诚实的初学者自行车。"

作为每天的通勤者,我骑了 V-Star 250 长达十八个月,然后再向上移动,它教会了我对油门控制和过弯线的了解比任何路线都要多,主要是因为它能在不杀死你的情况下惩罚懒惰。V-twin burble 在 249cc 下确实令人满意,而 690 毫米的座椅高度意味着身材矮小的骑手实际上可以自信地触地。它分崩离析的地方在90公里/小时以上;马达在尖叫,镜子振动变得毫无用处,高速公路的合并就像在祈祷。它不是一艘真正的巡洋舰,但它穿着得足够好,可以让新骑手在学习时感到很酷。

优点

+宽容、可预测的操控性
+座椅高度真的很低
+令人满意的 V 型双胞胎角色
+非常可靠,维护成本低廉
+易于找到二手,转售风险低

缺点

高速公路速度感觉真的很危险
80 km/h 以上镜子没用
没有电量计,油箱很小
一季之内就不堪重负
最适合: 身材矮小的新骑手正在学习巡洋舰 跳过 if: 你在快速的高速公路上上下班

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.
