$2350 for a 1300 V-Star 3 Years, 1 Month ago  
Seems like a good deal. He's been trying to sell it for a while. Are they faster than a Roadstar?

I do not know about faster, but they are a good solid bike. I test rode the deluxe this last summer, and toby's stryker is built around the same power plant as the v-star 1300. Choosing between a 2013 R* Silverado, and a 2014 V-star 1300 deluxe though, having ridden both of them before deciding, I chose the roadstar. It just seemed like it had so much more going for it then the 1300 did.

I am not a fan of the exhaust note on the 1300 at all. sounds like a trivial reason not to like a bike, but that exhaust note does nothing for me.

My wife has a Vstar 1300 and it is probable faster than a stock R*. You have to keep it reved up to find the tourqe, but it is there and 5th is more of an overdrive than 5th on the R*. Price is good even for the miles and is real good if the tires don't need replacing and there are saddlebags included.
