Reply to this topic Although a separate brand, Star motorcycles will continue to be sold at Yamaha dealerships.

In other markets the same bikes will still be sold as Yamahas. The Yamaha V-Star is a go-to beginner motorcycle if you are deeply in love with cruisers.

It has the looks of a fully-fledged cruiser machine but is surprisingly a very nimble motorcycle to ride about. What you need to know is that the bigger and more modern the engine, the longer it is going to last. Therefore, a small cc engine on a Kawasaki Ninja will only last for around 20, miles before giving out. How fast can you go on a cc motorcycle?

It depends upon the purpose- If you need a motorbike for daily commuting; cc bike is fuel- efficient. Cost-effective- cc has a higher engine capacity and as engine capacity is directly proportional to the fuel consumption, so needless to say cc is not for you if you are on the lookout of a cost-effective bike.

Sometimes it will get a bubble over the sensor and give you a false light. Check your oil level first, then simply either do a little swerving or stab the brakes while riding a few times to break the bubble loose.
