2020 Yamaha V-Star 250
Contents
When it comes to sport heritage motorcycles, the 2020 Yamaha V-Star 250 comes to mind as the perfect blend of old school sport cruiser aesthetics with modern riding style and comfort. The heart of the V-Star 250 is in its name, an air-cooled, 249 cc, 60-degree V-twin, which, combined with the standard Mikuni BDS26 carburetor, gives this small, light bike the rumble of a much bigger beast.
The V-Star 250 is also known as one of the most friendly starter bikes, with very linear power delivery and a low center of gravity, allowing novices to gain confidence while also being able to have fun on a motorcycle.
The 2020 Yamaha V-Star 250 starts at $4,349 US/$5,299 CA

Just bought a 2009 vs250 from the original owner
1100 org miles. I am a mature rider and this model has it all!
I bought a 2009 VX 250 cc with 531 miles along with a $300 helmet for $1150. The bike is black cherry in color and the girl I bought it from receives it from her uncle’s Estate. Prior to his his death she had just purchased a 750 Yamaha “go faster”.
