2018 Yamaha V Star 250

Great things come in small packages: light and nimble, plenty of torque, smooth power, huge MPGs and a low seat for confident handling.

• Engine

Air-cooled, 249cc, 60-degree V-twin engine with a long 66mm stroke produces plenty of bottom-end torque and smooth roll-on power. And it’s the only V-twin engine in its class, too.

Single 26mm Mikuni® downdraft carburetor ensures optimal fuel/air mixing and delivery with superb throttle response.

Widely geared five-speed transmission makes the most of V Star 250’s powerband.

• Chassis/Suspension

58.7-inch wheelbase creates a long, low package with great handling and maneuverability.

282mm single front disc brake and a rear drum brake provide plenty of stopping power.

Plush and low-stepped saddle keeps the rider sitting low and lets almost everybody flatfoot the pavement.

• Additional

A custom style handlebar gives the V Star 250 a modern look and comfortable riding position.

Extensive chrome details accent engine and side covers for incomparable “big bike” fit and finish.

Stylishly sculpted teardrop fuel tank features 2.5-gallon capacity for excellent cruising range.
