They V-Star is Candy Apple Red. It’s a pretty bike. My wife has been looking at Trikes.
Mine is the 2009 in Galaxy Blue, I installed the Star engine bars, a chrome radiator grill, HID headlight, LED tailights, a specially made tricked out ball milled Rox Riser and replaced the cables and lines with plastic coated braided stainless ones.I did some mods to the fuel system as well.
I went from not rising for 30 years to a 1980 Honda CX 500, rode it for two months and then immediately went to the Star 1300.
I also look at commuting the same distance, but with my gas at $4.15 right now my Silverado with its 496 cubic inche gasser engine it just bleads my wallet dry and I have to do a tradeoff of other weekly items just to keep it on the road.
And buying another vehicle is absolutely out of the question, I want to be debt free, not in over my head on some worthless hybrid.
