I just purchased the V-Star 950 Tourer on 11-22-10 and it's my first bike. After taking my motorcycle class on a Suzuki 250cc piece of junk, the V-Star was a dream.
I'm still getting used to the handling but the suspension, acceleration, breaking and shifting are all perfect. I am 6'0" tall and 167 lbs. and I have no problem with ergonomic comfort.
For me, this is the perfect first bike. I looked at quite a few before I chose the V-Star: Suzuki M50 and C50T Boulevard, Kawasaki Vulcan 900 classic LT and even a few Honda's.
The Yamaha V-Star 950 beat them all hands down; in looks and style, power and reliability. This bike will be with me for quite a while.
Upgrades/Accessories: None yet however I will be getting: Kuryakyn Driving Light Bar with L.E.D. Turn Signals, One Pair of H455w Hyper White Xenon Gas HID (Low/High Beam) Headlight Bulbs, Kuryakyn Blind Spot Turn Signal Mirrors and passenger floor boards.
