Models and key differences
The 2006 V-Star 650 was offered in two main styles, the Classic and the Custom, which shared the same engine but had different styling and ergonomics.
Classic (XVS650A)
Aesthetics: Features traditional cruiser styling with wide, valanced steel fenders, wire-spoke wheels, and a larger fuel tank.
Dimensions: Has a slightly larger overall size and a higher, more cushioned two-piece seat, which provides a plush ride.
Weight: Weighs more than the Custom model, adding to its "big bike" feel.
Custom (XVS650)
Aesthetics: Offers a more stripped-down, hot-rod style with narrower, curvier fenders and a thinner silhouette.
Dimensions: Features a lower, slimmer seat and a smaller front wheel, giving it a more nimble and sporty feel.
Weight: Is lighter than the Classic, which can make it feel more maneuverable for smaller riders.

Performance and reliability

Reliability: Known for its long-term durability, the V-Star 650's mechanically simple design makes it a low-maintenance bike, and owners rate its reliability highly.
