雅马哈V-Star 650（在某些市场被称为Dragstar 650）于1997年推出，是一款中型巡洋舰，旨在吸引新手和寻求受美国巡洋舰启发的经典V型双缸造型的人。它取代了Virago 535成为雅马哈的入门级巡洋舰，并因其可承受的动力、可靠性和较低的座椅高度而迅速广受欢迎。它一直生产到2010年，由于其流畅的动力传输和宽容的操控性，它被广泛认为是有史以来最好的初学者巡洋舰之一。

买家应该知道什么
Bulletproof Reliability
The V-Star 650 is widely regarded as one of the most reliable beginner cruisers ever made, with many owners reporting 50,000+ miles with minimal issues beyond routine maintenance.
Watch the Carburetor
The CV carburetors are prone to gumming up from ethanol-blended fuel if left sitting — always inspect for rough idling or hesitation and budget for a carb clean if buying used.
Strong Resale Value
Due to its reputation and popularity as a starter bike, the V-Star 650 holds its value unusually well, making it easy to resell but also meaning you'll rarely find a steal on the used market.
按年份划分的世代和规格
单代；在整个生产过程中无需进行重大重新设计。仅对颜色和外观进行了少量更新。
"不会让退伍军人感到尴尬的完美入门级巡洋舰。"
我在 2003 年的 V-Star 650 上行驶了将近 18,000 公里，我真的很喜欢这个东西 —— 它从 2,500 rpm 的转速可以清晰地拉动，那个狭窄的 V 型双胞胎具有真实的个性，而且 690 毫米的座椅高度意味着我的短腿骑行伙伴可以毫无戏剧性地骑行。高速公路巡航时速超过 120 km/h 会使发动机振动混乱，一小时后会麻木双手，而双减震器后悬架在任何比修补过的乡间小路更糟糕的路上都会失去镇定感。在寒冷的早晨添加碳水化合物确实让人烦恼，而库存的排气听起来像缝纫机——但廉价的一脚套可以立即解决这个问题。只要花钱，无论是新品还是二手车，你都会得到一艘机械防弹、真正可闪烁的巡洋舰，它教你如何骑行，而不是在它中幸存下来。

"The most reliable cheap cruiser you can buy used today."
$2,500-$5,000 usedThe V-Star 650 is one of those bikes that quietly earns your respect. It's not flashy, it won't win stoplight drags, but the parallel twin disguised as a V-twin pulls smoothly from idle and rarely causes drama. For used buyers, the good news is these things are practically bulletproof — find one with regular oil changes and it'll run another 50,000 miles without blinking. Carbureted models from the early 2000s do gum up if left sitting, so always check fuel delivery first. The ergonomics suit smaller to medium riders well — feet forward, relaxed wrists, manageable 26-inch seat height. Highway cruising above 70mph gets buzzy and the engine feels strained, so it's genuinely a city and backroads machine rather than an interstate tourer. Aftermarket support is enormous, so you can personalize cheaply. Just avoid examples with crash damage to the engine cases; parts are discontinued in some markets.
