Yamaha V Star description

This is a sweet ride, just like new. This bike was gifted off the showroom floor to a friend of mine who is an older gentlemen.  He put about 1600 miles on her before we purchased the bike in 2014. I added the bike to our collection thinking that my girlfriend would enjoy riding. Health reasons now preclude her from riding. If you know these bikes, this is the nicest 2002 you will find as it has been ridden sparingly and gently.

It is a very comfortable bike with a low center of gravity, and perfect for a woman rider. I enjoy riding this bike and I'm a large guy...its easy to get on and off of, and easy much easer than my Concours to maneuver. 

When I put the bike away last summer I hit the side of the barn with the left blinker, have not gotten around to replacing it. There is also some tape residue on the windshield that we can't seem to get off. This happened when my friend left the bike in his driveway with a for sale sign taped on the windshield. You may know some tricks, but I certainly don't think it is worth replacing the windshield as it is not noticeable when you are riding.

The bike has always been meticulously maintained, tires have plenty left, new battery in 2015, and the carbs were adjusted in 2014. Ready to ride for the season!

We have a couple of newer helmets that you can take with you if you are so inclined.

We are in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, so take a few days off, pack the saddlebags and enjoy some of the best riding in New England! Call me if you have any questions, I'm John. My cell number is 603-616-8991.

Thanks for checking the bike out.

Top Five Global Motorcycle Companies Ranked

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

- Honda Motor Company Limited - Yamaha Motor Company Limited - Hero MotoCorp Limited - Bajaj Auto Limited - Harley–Davidson Incorporation According to Research And Markets, who bill themselves as “The World’s Largest Market Research Store,” these are the top five companies of the global motorcycle industry, with data collected from 2006 – 2011. The study itself is several chapters deep and must be purchased (you can do so at the link above), but in short, Research And Markets have compiled a study observing the evolving global motorcycle industry, its competitive landscape, and the corporate and marketing strategies adopted by the motorcycle companies as some of the factors to have remarkably impacted the global motorcycle industry dynamics. Developing regions, such as Asia and Latin America, which perceive two-wheelers as a basic mode of transportation, are expected to remain the most promising markets for scooters, light motorcycles, and mopeds.

No snow here folks!

An erratic work schedule combined with a full season of kids racing means, there aren’t many opportunities during the summer months for the Mackenzie family to grab a holiday. Instead, we tend to save our pennies and head off somewhere sunny for Christmas. I love doing this as it shortens the UK winter but more importantly it means I miss the festive frenzy.  I do like Christmas, but I hate how everyone gets caught up in the retail madness that kicks off just before Halloween, then has everyone stressed (and skint)before Santa has even hitched up his sleigh.

A Different Bike Magazine

Thu, 12 Feb 2009

Motorcycle Retro is a pet project of former Motorcyclist editor Mitch Boehm, launching as Motorcyclist Retro in early 2008 under the Source Interlink media umbrella. It featured a contemporary look at motorcycles of the 1960s through the 1980s. However, the circulation numbers of MR didn’t meet the expectations of the media conglomerate, and they cancelled production of the magazine after just two issues.
