Yamaha V Star 950 has a seat height of a mere 26.6 inches off the pavement, one of the lowest around, and a fuel tank thats made as narrow as possible where it meets the seat, it is easy for most riders to put both feet firmly on the ground. Front forks feature big 41mm tubes, and rear suspension is a bottom-link-type monocross shock. Settings are calibrated to deliver a plush ride that is increasingly firm as the suspension is compressed for good handling and comfort over bigger bumps in the road.Engine and transmissionEngine type: 2 cylinders, 4-stroke, 60 V-twinDisplacement: 942 cc (57.56 cubic inches)Bore
