I love Yamahas and pretty much any bike. I prefer the Japanese for their reliability and their price. I have a Yamaha 650 V Star Classic that I bought new in 99 and have loved ever since! I have almost 30,000 trouble free miles on it. I paid $5899 for it in 99 and feel I have already gotten my money's worth! You really can't beat Japanese reliability. Even though it sucks to employ them more than our own! Good Luck!
