Air-cooled 249cc 60-degree V-twin engine produces plenty of bottom-end torque and smooth roll-on power.

The single 26mm Mikuni® downdraft carburetor ensures optimal fuel/air mixing for smooth power and precise response.

Widely geared five-speed transmission makes the most of V Star 250’s powerband.

Beautiful dual chrome exhaust pipes let the engine breathe and put out that classic V-twin rumble.

Automatic cam chain tensioner virtually eliminates maintenance and helps extend engine life.

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION


The V Star 250’s 58.7-inch wheelbase creates a long, low package for great handling and stability.

The telescopic front fork and twin rear shocks with adjustable spring preload provide a plush, smooth ride.

A 282mm single front disc brake and a rear drum brake provide plenty of stopping power.

A plush, low-stepped saddle provides exceptional comfort and keeps the rider sitting low with an easy reach to the ground.

Custom style handlebars and forward-set foot pegs enhance rider comfort with a laid-back position and plenty of legroom.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES


With its sculpted 2.5-gallon teardrop fuel tank and an estimated 78 mpg, the V Star can go nearly 200 miles between fill-ups.

Extensive chrome details, stylish fenders and retro wire-spoked wheels add a custom “big bike” feel.
