All things in moderation, nothing in excess - that's the V-Star 1300. Not so big, yet not at all small, and packing a powerful 1304cc V-Twin that scoots it down the road with ease. You get a flangeless type fuel tank, steel fenders for easy customization and belt drive with a pulley that matches the wheels. At the other end of that belt there's a liquid-cooled engine built to run. Four-valve heads with roller rocker arms, twin-barrel fuel injection and dual counterbalancers do their part to keep the smooth power pumping. A round-tube steel frame puts it to the pavement, and gets a 48% of the weight over the front tyre for great handling too. It's a whole lot of motorcycle for your money!
