Yamaha XV1600 Wildstar

Best bike I have ever riden, Haven't found a bike I like to ride more. Better than a Harley. Heavy bike with more torque than a hog. friends dyana can't out run this bike.

This bike is awesome! Starts,runs and handles great. I have owned 3 Harley's and all of them have broken down time after time so this is not a poor man's Harley! Never been more comfortable on a bike in my life and even though homeless for a while I could not get myself to sell her. If you get the chance to own one them grab it.

ive owned may bikes in my years of riding from sports bikes to tourers brittish to jap to harleys and found the wildstar to be excelent in reliabilty and performence and comfort i go into europe every year and the xv gives me all i would expect and more even after hours in the seat iam still comfortable i caint fault it but this is my personal experience and view gd luck

Great cruiser,belt drive for smoother ride.Better than a Harley,cheaper,more reliable in our weather(n.ireland)big tyres,chunky bike which sounds meaty,cheaper parts than a Harley but my Yamaha Wildstar has never let me down

ive had many bikes in my time from british to jap from 50cc to 1600 and i must say from my own personal view ive never rode a bike has comfotable and pleasureable has the Yamaha xv 1600 wildstar ,i was in s,france last year on my guzzi 1100 evo it ws a lovely bike but i must say 1 thing about the wildstar its a pleasure to own ride and be seen riding ,i know we all have our own opinion about our bikes but here is mine and if you agree keep on enjoying yaselfs if not ,well were all different ,its what makes us unique just like my xv1600 wildstar ,happy riding and cheers and beers ,,,free spirit.....

Super reliability from this V-twin Yamaha donk. Looks 'so' cool and while not being a Harley is about as close as you can get to a Softail or Fatboy without the extra $10k (Aus).

I love this bike. As a 50+ year old rider returning to motorcycling after 30 years this is the ideal ride - smooth, controlled and gets heads turning. I've got my wife (who has never been a motorcyclist) getting her own bike to join me cruising on lazy weekends. Yamaha XV1600's rock!

I started driving on a Kawasaki 450 ltd, then I drove a Yamaha Dragstar classic 1100, a Honda Shadow C3 1100 and now I drive the best motor ever which can compare in cruiserworld whith any other brand. I had a lot of testdrives on every famous brands before I decided to buy one. It is super, it is great, it is amazing, it's the best.

It € s a great bike if you can lift and ride it and be able to push it backwards to get it on the road. If you have a slanted drive like myself. That said the gears were too long in 1st to 3rd. it vibrate badly in up to 4th gears. In towns and fuel economy was dreadful. 60 mls in town runs. On long haul 150 was the best I had. But fair play all bikes have faults and wildstar as its.

I own a Yamaha Wildstar and love everything about it. It is a very heavy bike and has a lot of power in it. It's not the fastest bike in the world but then again it was never built or designed to be. I've never had a problem with mine, and that is a first for me!

I wanted a Harley type V twin but not at their prices and lets face it every man and his dog wants a Harley like every school boy wants a spitfire to fly. I love it to bits and it sure turns heads. The front end doesn't like the wet so use the best tires. Heated grips can be got from bike shops for around £80 and well worth it. In all the big V twin write ups I've read it was the quickest over the standing quarter mile. My mate has a Harley with stage 2 head and I can keep with him all day.

I'd say if you get one make sure the gearbox recall has been done. Mine was 5k back in January 2006 second hand.
