Yamaha V Star 650cc for road trip 1000 miles up I-5?
Is it safe to ride a 2003 Yamaha VStar 650cc on a road trip up Interstate 5, from So Cal to Oregon?
It is a 1000 mile trip up the I-5 from Southern California to Portland, OR. We are moving and will be driving our truck with a trailer full of our belongings, along with one of us riding the V Star.
Experienced rider, all the appropriate gear...main question is: is this bike big enough to make the trip?
It is a cruiser and comfy, in great condition...but, it is a 650cc and 2003. Any info or tips are greatly appreciated!
(NOT A Honda VTX 650cc AS ORIGINALLY THOUGHT.)
The V Star would do great, that the kind of trip it's made for. Now your butt on the other hand. You'll want to take a break at least every two hours or you're going to be in pain. Let me know when you get to Oregon, might ride with you sometime.
