I have a 2009 model, and installed L.E.D.s myself. I rode it out of the dealership with 7 miles in the odometer, NOW, 24K plus and still use the original brand name tires since they give me about 10 to 11k of lasting thread, SAFELY! I ride everyday my friends.
I love my 2012 Yamaha V Star 950, first time rider. 5'3, purchased 2 weeks ago
You have experiance riding prior to purchase?
Im looking at a 650 for my first bike . i dont have any experience riding yet. Gonna take some classes here soon . ive went and looked at a couple 250s and there just way too small. I dont want to have to by a bike and want to trade in a couple months
5'7 180lbs
@@justinDIERIN I started on a 250cc same size most MC training classes use. Later purchased a 2007 Yamaha 650 classic with 500 miles on it now after 9 years have nearly 28,000 on it. Have replaced tires 3-4 times but zero mechanical troubles. Just one flat rear tire last year. Have had it serviced regularly. I am 74, 5'8" 196 pounds. Am ready for a Yamaha 950 tourer or Yamaha 1300 Tourer.
I purchased an 09 model 950 last Friday for my first bike! I'm still pretty new so the learning is still pretty sketchy but for the most part I think it's a more than damn good bike all around!
This was my first bike. Bought it last year near the end of riding season. Love it.
+Sean Kerr No lol. I should have been more clear. Same style as mine I bought a used one with a mustang seat. 7,000 miles on it and feels great. It even came with a throttle lock for "cruise control".
MrLAYER2009 riding season is 12 months out of the year.
I ride a 2011 950 v-star . it has self cancelling flashers , love the bike.....
have had mine for 3 seasons now. Only regret I have was not getting the touring edition. Other than that I love the bike.
.. I just love those vented riding pants!
if you don't like the windsheild on that bike then your in luck, it is a quick release, you can pop it off and on in 2 sec, no tools needed, same for the sissy bar on the back.
Must be optional... I've had an '09 and now an '11 and neither are quick disconect....
I have one of these yes women ride too I don’t have the windshield I think it’s pointless I do also scrape the foot plates on the corners you can’t lean too far apart from that I love it 😍
Seen several of your reviews on this model. Making me want one! I have a 2014 Bolt - basically the same bike but with a bagger configuration. Love my Bolt! There really is plenty of poop.
I love my Yam 950 Midnight Star. Some good advice about hand signals which I use sometimes. It is easy to leave then on because as you say you don't look down that far very much and the indicators are obscured by the handlebars.
V-star 950 has self-cancelling turn signals as do many non-beginner bikes.
my 950 had that little windshield, I put a Memphis Shades batwing fairing on it and it is awesome!
it is, I got a couple videos of some of the mods I had made to it on my youtube page
Anthony, Yamaha sells a "medium" on their website for this bike. It looks like a perfect size on it. I really can't understand why they keep putting these short ones on their bikes, they look ridiculous.
I love my 2010 Yamaha 950 V-star.
I love my 950 I turned it into a bobber
Good lookin out about the hand signals bro!!!!
?
captainengland why the question??
Between the vstar950 and the vulcan900, who has better power and acceleration, and also which one is more comfortable?
I just took a look in my Mississippi Driver's Manual where the hand signals are described just like you did. Don't know about other states but all drivers should know how to interpret these gestures. Way cooler and safer than riding along with the damn blinkers on which I see all the time and think oh boy next intersection could be your last...
I thought that bike had self canceling signals?
My first bike is yamaha xvs 950 midnightstar... wow!!!! great bike!!!!
I have a question for Sean Kerr
To what extent have the windshield installed?
Hello from italy by Vittorio
windsheilds are for sissys.they dont belong on a cruiser.
Watching so older vlogs on the Yamaha 950's. I have a 2012 Suzuki C50T, would I be getting that much more power if I upgraded from the C50T to the Yamaha 950? I realize its only a bump up of about 140cc's. I am asking as the C50T seems a bit strained on the highways after about 70 mph. Do you really gain additional power by going from a shaft drive to a belt drive? I have heard & read you do give up a little power with the shaft drives. I am a larger person 6'2 and 260 lbs. Just curious if it makes sense or if the Star 1300 a better way to go? I would appreciate your thoughts....Thank you
I'm looking into getting this bike now. Does it hold up? Need to get back on the road and it's under $5k. Within my budget. Good commuter?
got one yesterday
Why do Yamaha cruisers have so much transmission whine?
And if you put your arm down instead of up it means you are stopping.
I recently bought my 6th bike. I was looking at the 950 and liked it. But after a lot of consideration i decided against it. My work commute is a little over 100 miles. I don't beieve that the 950 would be up to the task of taking days of constant highway travel. I previously had an 1100. The 1100 handled it but it was breathing hard. So I did some searching and found a 1300 deluxe that I purchased.
Jeez dude 100 miles commute. Hope it pays well
First of all sorry for my english ( I just speak only a Little english ) I hope you can understand me the same.
As there are three size ( Short medium long) of the original windshield for yamaha xvs 950 midnight star I would like to know which is your?
I know that I have to consider my height but also would like it looks Nice so I think your size is the right size.
thank you so much by Vittorio.
Thanks Sean for your advice.
I supposed as my height 6' 4" I have to buy medium size about 20" like your, what do you think? And what about width ( is better standard size 23" or more)? Your opinions are very important for me. STAY ROCK!
"way cooler" did school just let out at ridgemont high lol
is the handlebar shake at idle normal on this bike? will it disappear after the bike is warmed?
Does the shake disappear when you get on the highway? say about 80mph, or it gets worse? Thank you!
***** Cool, thank you!
+Sean Kerr I'm about to buy a used 2011 vstar 950 tourer (5500 miles on it), is there any thing I need to pay attention to before pay for it?
he is asking for 4500
how was the ride feels when you cruising at 80 to 85 mph? whats the rpm at that speed?
These come with windshields that are way too short.
tccoup355 so change it are take it off
is it loud?
whole video instead of hearing the bike we hear this bla-bla-bla. annoying. not here for u. for bike we are
