WELL.... today I went to the bike shop down the street from my apartment with my dad and took a look at a few bikes. I had been doing research since last wednesday when my V's R/R went out. I saw this beautiful V-star sitting on the showroom floor with less than a mile on it. It had been sitting there for about an hour. The guy offered me a deal I was happy with and so... I rode my new 2007 Yamaha V-star 650 Midnight Custom home today. Which brings me to my next point. I'm going to get a hold of my friend and finally get the title from him this week. My V needs a little work but for less than $400, I think it could be back in safe riding condition. I'm going to hop over to the swap shop and describe what I think it needs.
congrats on the purchase!
