This 650-class model earns its “Classic” status by virtue of retro styling that features deeply valanced steel fenders front and rear, fat tires and spoked rims. The floorboards, heel/toe shifter, oversized headlight and chromed fork shrouds only add to the effect. Like the Custom version, the Classic benefits from an easy-to-ride, midrange-weighted powerband- maximum torque is achieved at just 3000 rpm-and a wide-ratio, five-speed gearbox. Low-maintenance shaft final drive provides quiet and clean performance.

Lots of cruiser bang for the buck here. In fact, a quick look at the V Star Custom and you’d be forgiven for thinking it was a much bigger bike. It’s got all the right styling cues: engine bay packed full of V-Twin; dual, shotgun-style staggered exhausts; wide, bobtail rear fender; chromed, tank-mounted instrument cluster; 15-inch rear tire and 19-inch front for that requisite fat/skinny stance. The frame helps, too, stretching wheelbase to almost 554 feet. Also available: The V Star Midnight Custom, which is the same bike but with blacked-out pieces in place of most of the chrome items on the standard model.

Though it is the smallest model to carry the Star nameplate, the V Star 250 is a great entry point into the world of cruisers. First, it’s got a V-Twin engine for that archetypal Ameri-cruiser look. Lots of chrome, too, plus a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a meaty rear tire and a wide rear fender. Light weight and a low seat height are always appreciated by first-timers, and the front disc brake-not a given in this class-brings things to a secure halt. From its overall appearance to its fit and finish, there’s a lot of “big bike” in this beginner’s 250.
