Yamaha DragStar 650 - V-star

V-star

The V-Star 650 (and even the 1100) bikes come in three trims:

• V-Star Custom (650) XVS650 - Base version for long-distance cruising.
• V-Star Classic (650) XVS650A - The same frame as the V-star Custom but with wider front wheel, metal fenders, longer bodywork, less chromed styling, dragged handlebars, wider seat and numerous styling differences.
• V-Star Silverado (650) - Much as the V-Star Classic with saddlebags and a few other "touring" additions
• Some V-Star motorcycles come in what others may know as deepish purple (Raven) with flames. There were 2 editions made of this. The XVS65T-F and the XVS65TC-F (CA edition). CA edition is for California Only and is equipped with a canister to prevent the discharging of fuel vapor into the atmosphere. There are 3 lines to this canister. One to the fuel tank, one to the carburetor and a vent hose. Both of these models when the VIN is decoded will show up either XVS650 and XVS650A mostly because their parts are identical to these 2 models with very few exceptions if any.

All these are the base versions of the RoadStar. The "RoadStar" and "RoyalStar" generally refers to the class of bikes which are made and fine-tuned for touring performance
