    Nicely Done VStar 1100 Classic

    [added June 10th 2009] Sorry the bike is no longer for sale we're keeping it! 

     

     

    This baby rides nice and plays well with others.  I might be able to ride it to the buyer anywhere in the USA this season.  No promises but I certainly need a vacation!  These pics are on the very top of the road on Mount Hood Oregon.  This bike loves steep mountain roads and freeways too.  Its stable and capable and it's fun to ride.   Many top-end extras like the billet spin-on oil filter. The paint is all-factory and in like-new condition.  For those who haven't seen this paint in person, the tank is metallic deep black on top with metallic deep blue sides - the fenders and side covers match - and all factory clearcoated.  Its stunning.

    [added March 21st 2009]  I'm asking only the Kelly Bluebook of $4,400.00 (delivered in the Pacific NW).   It has all the nice top-quality chrome and extras like bags and shield and driving lights.  BTW it now has chrome fender tips on all three fender ends.  Yes, I admit it, I'm still working away at making it even nicer, I'm still riding and maintaining it, because its a great riding bike.  Reasonable offers from RSW members will be considered as always.

    [added May 5th 2009]  Here's a partial list of accessories as of today:

    Kuryakyn Accessories:
    Dually ISO cruise pegs with offset mounts
    Silver Bullet ride lights (on Yami ride-guard) with chrome P-mounts
    Shift and Brake peg covers
    90/100-watt H4 headlight bulb (works great)
     
    Yami/Star Accessories:
    Engine ride-guard and Kuryakyn cruise pegs
    Full-height Yami windshield
    Yami Cruiselite saddlebags with bag-frames
    All 3 chrome fender tips
    Chrome passenger backrest
    Chrome luggage rack
    Chrome front axle bolt covers
     
    Other:
    Chrome billet aluminum spin-on oil filter kit w/braided stainless lines (fast oil changes)
    Helmet lock relocation kit (to front fender since saddlebags in way of stock position)
    Clear turn signal lenses
    Vista cruise (for what its worth)
    Other Yami and Kuryakyn misc chrome bits.

    I just rode this bike from Mt. Hood Oregon to the central Oregon coast, about 200 miles each way, on a solo overnighter.  I'm always surprised by how well this bike handles.  I don't want to sell it but I really want a Raider and I want to keep my Warrior.  So this VStar 1100 Classic is still for sale.  PM me!

    Bump.

    Still looking for offers.  5-Gal tank at +45mpg is 250 miles on a tank.  It did 44mpg average round trip in the rocky mountains.  Its in great shape and I'll even ride it to the buyer if you want, assuming no snow!!  The paint shines like new.

    We can both win, you can get a good price and I can get space in the garage to put a Raider!

    When I saw your signature link... I thought you want to get rid of your second love. Smile
    Glad to see I was wrong and the Warrior stays. Friendly bump for a great guy.

    Super nice v-star and very clean. If I was in the market for one i'd certainly be interested. Very passenger friendly looking. Free Bump for the 5000plus posts rswarrior veteran. Good luck and I hope youget your raider soon.

    Sure is a nice looking V-Star Mike, bump and good luck.  I can't believe you still have it.  It would make a great upgrade to my wife's similarly equipped V-Star 650.

    Re: Nicely Done VStar 1100 Classic

    Thanks for the 'bump' Marco.  Yes, I like the bike a lot and have reservations about selling it - but darnitall I need the garage space for a Raider.  I'm replacing the rear brake linings and adding another chrome bit next weekend, and doing a re-wire on the silver bullets so they run with the high beam switch (no separate switch) since that's how I always run them anyway.  I plan to ride it down the Oregon coast in a couple weeks to visit family.  It carries lots of stuff between the saddle bags and the back seat plus the luggage rack.  I like to be gone for a week when I go down the coast so I take extra stuff!

    Re: Nicely Done VStar 1100 Classic

    I had time and it didn't rain yesterday so I completed the relay wiring for the Kuryakyn silver bullet driving lights, installed the chrome fender tip onto the rear of the front fender, did some scheduled maintenance, cleaned the motor and polished the tins and chrome.  Then I started thinking.  It seems like I haven't been asking very much for this bike and haven't advertised it anywhere except here.  Yesterday I remembered that I love this damn v-star its a great machine and tours so nice and when you see it in the sunshine it pops and gleams.  On the one hand I'm astounded it hasn't sold at such a cheap price but it turns out that's a good thing because I want to keep it and its no longer for sale!   I'm going to shop for a Mustang Vintage Tour seat and keep running the bike up and down Hwy 101 for a few more summers!

    My problem is I still want a Raider too, so I have to find a way to create more garage space to fit two more bikes (wifey is still shopping for her second bike hmmm).  We're looking at building a 20x20 shop where I can move all the tools and roll-aways and even the woodworking saws and crud.  That should give enough space to move one bike into the space for maintenance and mods, leaving the rest in the garage.  We're very capable of building the shed ourselves and there's a good spot alongside the house since we never use the rv parking area anymore.  By any wild chance does anyone have a freebie set of plans for a little out-building like that? I can add the electrical service no problem.  Thanks! Big Smile
